Astro headlines for the week 2/3/18

If you've been feeling a bit sluggish of late then be prepared to feel a lot more energised this week as we have Venus moving into fiery Aries on 7 March 2018 as well as Mercury entering the same place the day before (6 March 2018) and Jupiter turning retrograde in Scorpio on Friday 9 March 2018....what does it all mean?  Mercury is the planet which rules the way we think and communicate - you put this in the sign of Aries and you notice a whole lot of energy rush to your head that needs to be expressed and put into action.  Because of this you may notice impatience or speaking harshly before thinking things through.  In order to avoid this kind of behaviour its best to channel this energy into projects we feel passionate about or even starting new projects/hobbies/jobs.  Getting plenty of physical cardio exercise will also help channel this energy well.  Venus the planet of love, relationships and values also gets a dose of this energy.  It can be great to give current relationships a spark but I do warn caution in jumping too quickly into new relationships as this impulsive energy can get the better of us.  You may notice you feel more independent with Venus in Aries and the desire to do life on your own terms - enjoy it while it lasts :) It can give us that rush of creative energy to our relationships/hobbies/jobs etc. however the flip side can cause anger and arguments that can be avoided if we channel our energy more constructively.  It is a time you will feel more careless with your money and more impulsive but we need that once in a while - just don't get carried away!! Lastly for this weeks cosmic changes is Jupiter the planet of luck, abundance and expansion moves retrograde (backwards) in Scorpio therefore the lessons and healing we have experienced over the last 6 months have a deeper layer unfolding while Jupiter goes back over ground she has already covered.  This will be different for everyone in how Jupiter is helping each one of you, but on a collective scale there is a lot coming up over Jupiter's stay in Scorpio to do with healing around the psych, trauma, relationship to money, sexuality and death.  Jupiter is shining a gentle light on baggage that needs to be dealt with and healed in regards to these taboo subjects.  By doing the work in these areas there will be great treasure found and rewarded by Jupiter and that could be an external reward or an internal reward such as the feeling of peace.  My advice to you is to not be scared of skeletons that come up from your past but to deal with them once and for all and reach out for help if you need it.  Feel free to book a ready with me if you would like your natal chart done or have questions you want help with.
