The new moon in your sign on the 8th provides a birthday month blessing offering you a blank canvas of sorts – perfect for affirmations and implementing new intentions. If you’ve felt stuck or blocked in some area of your life, at school or work, use this time to transform and consciously push through issues.
The initial changes may be unsettling but you’ll soon feel revitalised and empowered. Part of harnessing this power is, ironically, learning when to release your grip and let things unfold around you without feeling the need to control everything. There’s something to be said about going with the flow and once you strike a balance you’ll feel more at peace.
Things are looking up this month overall, particularly on the money front, helping you to celebrate in style! Apart from the Sun’s annual visit putting a spring in your step Jupiter, the planet of plenty, commences a two year stint in your money sector on the 9th. This placement is known for creating prosperity and luck, but don’t wait for opportunities to come knocking. The more proactive you are the better and greater the results will be whether you’re after part time or fulltime work.
Having said that, there are other factors at play with your finances, so caution, forethought and planning are also required for success.
Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect is in your money sector throughout the month but it turns retrograde on the 17th. This means that before the 17th, your money smarts will be operating at max capacity enabling you to negotiate, think up money-making schemes and formulate wonderful goals, whether you’re after more pocket money or a pay rise.
This is also a good time to get the ball rolling, talk turkey and take action. However, after this time retrograde Mercury which is synonymous with delays and misunderstandings could create stop-starts and a bit of havoc. Avoid signing on the dotted line, read all terms and conditions thoroughly and revise, rethink and research. If you use this time to do your homework you’re bound to come up with better money-saving alternatives.
Regarding money a blast from the past could surprise you or a secret you’ve harboured for years may finally surface.
