From Mars departure from your income sector last month to Mercury's return on Tuesday is a gap of just 11 days and this has been a valuable and important firebreak. Last week was the first week in two months with no planetary activity in your income sector and the last for another two months, giving you a chance to let things settle. Mars' had spent seven weeks declaring war on roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, with Mercury returning on Tuesday to benefit from that but with the smart head for money that can help you play a more strategic game. Normally here for 14 to 15 days, a retrograde turn later in the month will keep Mercury here for over two months. Meanwhile Venus, who spent four months here last year will return on Sunday to begin a short 24 day visit. Yet from the start, the planet of money will be working to make her time here as lucrative as possible.
