While Mars returned to your financial sector in late June and at the very least would always spend at least six weeks here and hasn't reached that point at the start of the month, you have already moved into an important zone. The reality is that Mars is here to stay and instead of leaving he is slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn, with his longest visit in 32 years keeping the warrior planet of the cosmos here for the rest of the year. The important zone that I mentioned was his retrograde shadow, which means the point in your financial sector that he will retrograde back to. Mars is still moving forward but the ground he is covering now is the same ground that he will not only retrograde back over in September and October but will track over for a third time before leaving in January. This means that everything that you are starting, approaching or investing in now financially you will have a chance to return to, meaning that there isn't the urgency to finish or even get everything right. This gives you the rare freedom to set things in motion knowing that you can come back to it, not once but twice. At the same time, Mars is enjoying a problem free month, after his clash with Juno in your income sector last month. Support from the Sun and Mercury will also fuel your financial confidence, instincts and imagination, which in turn adds fuel to Mars' financial passions and fighting spirit. Normally when Mars moves through you have six weeks to take your financial power back but this time you have over six months. The Moon's return to your financial sector from 8th August to 10th August will be a chance to check in, with the Moon giving you a better read on money matters and on where Mars' warrior spirit is drawing you. There will be a chance to check in on income matters when the Moon moves through your income sector from 21st August to 23rd August. These are often the most lucrative days of any month.
