The balance of power or the weight of influence has shifted from the job to the career side of the fence but by the end of the month, they will be balanced again and ongoing momentum banked. Since his return to your work sector in 2008, Pluto has spent from April to September in retrograde motion and as he only turned retrograde late last month he is still at a standstill at the start of the month. This is giving you a chance to put more focus on career matters, where there is a chance to set a course for the coming year. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your career sector, so the focus is always on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year, just as Pluto takes work and job matters into review mode. This year you also begin the month with Venus and Mercury in your career sector and therefore with heart and mind in the game and on the same page. Until he leaves on 4th May, Mercury is giving you the intellectually savvy edge needed to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. As the planet of money, until she leaves on 9th May, Venus is more focused on fuelling your professional confidence, attracting opportunities and steering things in a lucrative direction. {ads_delimiter}It is during Venus' last full day here that the dwarf planet Ceres will return, beginning a 12 week review of your professional needs and priorities. The Moon will return to your career sector on 10th May, a day after Venus leaves and it is the New Moon this will create on 12th May that will create an opportunity for new beginnings and will give career matters the green light. Things won't go off the boil when the Sun leaves your career sector on 21st May, with Ceres' review of your professional needs and priorities continuing but also with Uranus here from 2019 to 2026 keeping the wheels turning. However, with your annual push over this is when it will become more about the journey, as Pluto is doing on the job front.
