By the time you move into the new week, it has been 10 days since Mars left your work sector and you needed that time to catch your breath and to let things settle. By the time Mercury returns on Tuesday to begin the next phase, an 11 day firebreak has allowed some of the warrior planet's intensity to dial back, creating less chance of whiplash as you begin a more measured approach. Where Mars' approach to work and job matters has been hot and heavy, Mercury's approach is slow and steady but even more so as a retrograde turn later in the month will keep him here until July. Gone is the urgency and instead, there is a chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. Meanwhile, Venus' return over the weekend will not only bring heart and mind together but will add another string, with her focus more on fuelling your job confidence, attracting opportunities and steering things in a lucrative direction.
