The major astro news this week is the start of Mercury’s first retrograde for 2014.
Even though Mercury is retrograde between February 5 – 27, with Venus now direct there is still the feeling of movement and progress in the air. This is supported by the waxing Moon.
Logistically, a double check is worth your effort. However, as Venus leaves her station degree on Thursday, the wheels will start to turn.
Even though Venus ended her retrograde last week, she has been standing still since. The end of the retrograde is like a change in direction, but for movement itself, there’s often a delay of a few days.
So this week has a ‘proceed with caution’ theme.
Mercury’s retrograde will cover the early part of Pisces and the later part of Aquarius. The standard Mercury Rx prescription applies, which is summarised for you here.
The Moon is waxing, and growing. This encourages growth and progress. The Moon will energise the signs of Aries, Taurus and Gemini. Be sure to check which houses this represents for you – that’s your guide to which topics need your attention now.
The Moon in Aries (Tues/Wed) is about action. A decisive attitude can help you get things done. A great energy for tackling a problematic issue with vigour, or boldly doing what’s right for you.
The Moon in Taurus (Wed/Thurs/Fri) invites you to slow down and enjoy the good life. Slow and steady is the theme, so take your time and be present.
The Moon in Gemini (Sat/Sun) makes for a social, chatty and busy weekend. The Gemini Moon combines with the Aquarius Sun for a double air influence so be sure to feed your mind – with knowledge or interaction.
