Mercuryis all about the mind… how we think… he is the messenger, he relates to how we communicate… He rules over transportation, technology and innovation… He is the ruler of the signs Gemini and Virgo and is associated with the 3rd and 6th houses.
Mental stimulation is welcomed, and required by some during this time..
Restlessness and boredom are forever just around the corner…
Keeping ourselves busy with multiple projects can keep the boredom at bay…
Take care not to take on too much during this time, it’s easier to do then we may think.
Chit chatting, is the name of the game, gathering bits of information along the way…
Sticking to one thing at a time, or being totally focused on one thing at a time could be more challenging now.
Even though we are “craving information” and may feel restless, some of us may be more comfortable dealing with surface matters, then ones that go too “deep” ;)
Messages, meetings, emailing, texting and day to day chores could get busy now.
Sign/House: Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn in the 4th house.
What Does This Mean…. ???
Pluto is the planet of Regeneration: Death: Destruction: Recycling: Sex and What has to happen:
When Pluto is retrograde, we tend to do some reassessment… looking back, reviewing and grieving. We begin to understand that what is lost is lost, but life must go on we can “see” how we have reacted to our losses in the past. Things that have been “hidden” may begin to bubble at the surface.Old wounds and past upsets may prompt wars and battles, resurfacing of old hurts promotes anger. This “coming back” to old issues and problems, no matter the pain or loss it may cause will continue to return at each Pluto retrograde until the issues have been resolved.
When Pluto goes directagain as he is currently, we may well find we are “forced” or pushed towards making changes in our life. The reassessment we have been mulling over the past 5 months will need action. If we don’t act we will not resolve the issue and it will resurface when Pluto turns retrograde again.
Capricorn is the sign of career, work and duty. She is “conservative” yet accepting. While she understands the importance of family she is more geared towards doing what she must, what is expected of her. Capricorn can connect with and to the older generation, she understands and respects what our elders have done for our future.
With Pluto turning direct in the sign of Capricorn… Look for opportunities for promotion/raises in the work place. Be prepared for drastic changes in your job/career, keeping the chin up if it means you are without one for a while. If this happens keep a close eye out for the new job/career opportunity coming your way.
This could be a good time to ask for a raise or let your employer know you are ready to take on more responsibility.
If you have been waiting to make the move towards a new career direction, Pluto is ready to be assistance now.
Be prepared for loss… Grieve, but know you must move on eventually
Partnerships and relationships may take on a new “look” … be open to changes in your partner. If a relationship appears “difficult” take the time out to find out why… perhaps it is time for a change(s). Be open to changes within your current relationships.
Secrets and Desires will be at the surface… however, Capricorn is disciplined so hopefully we will allow her to discipline us to when and how and which secrets/desire are given attention.
The 4th house: Some folk may experience sudden changes or progress in the home. This could mean a change of residence, a change in decor or plans being made for major renovations. “Out with the old and in with the new” …
While we will all be affected to some degree as Pluto turns direct those with the following in their charts will be affected the most:
Connected to: The 2nd house of financial and emotional security
Taurus Folk are, reliable, hard-working, dedicated and can be very, very stubborn… Don’t be fooled by their laid back manner and endless patience, they have a “stick to it” attitude that can out do the other signs, and they rarely ever quit once committed…
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, who is all about luxury, beauty and money…. So Taurus folk are likely to be attracted to fine food, good drink and expensive material possessions…
Happy Birthday Taurus have a fabulous day and an awesome year ahead….
Special birthday wishes go out to
Nicole K,
Emma,
Jessie,
John K,
Pat…
And to all who celebrate a birthday during this sign.

Planets in the 2nd house.
Venus moves into the sign of Aries on April 20 at 12:11 pm (ET) @ 9:11 (PT) until May 16th.
Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra… Some fun times could be ahead in the romance department… but if you are looking for all sweetness and butterflies, you could be disappointed… Aries (ruled by Mars) is upfront and likes things happening in the moment… it’s not about what has gone before, but rather what is possible right now… Watch the budget, we could be prompted to spend impulsively now... 💖

What does it all mean?
Mercury is all about the mind… how we think… he is also the messenger and therefore relates to how we communicate… He rules over transportation, technology and innovation… He is the ruler of the signs Virgo and Gemini and is associated with the 3rd and 6th houses.
Ariesis a fire sign, he likes action, he can be heroic or selfish. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, the most masculine planet of the horoscope.
We can have less patience, so some of us may get frustrated when attempting to get our point across to someone less enthusiastic to our cause.
Speaking our mind is easier, but care should be taken when the conversation involves a “hot topic”.
Some folks are going to expect instant answers to their queries and questions, or instant solutions, which may not always be possible. Patience is encouraged when dealing with situations requiring solutions or answers.
Innovative ideas are possible. Under this influence our thoughts are explorative, so it’s a good time to ask questions and learn about things that may be interesting.
It’s a great time to share ideas with like-minded folks. And for some it could be a good time to put some ideas into action.
Communications, travel and technology may all take on a “hurried” sensation.
For fire sign people, (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and those who have fire signs in their charts, are encouraged to be careful while speaking, driving and using dangerous equipment… less haste, more care is suggested.
While we may all be touched by the Influence of Mercury in Aries, those with the following chart placements will feel the influence more.
Astrological Event: Transiting Venus in retrograde motion moves into the sign of Libra
Date: October 31 2018
What Does It Mean?
Venus is the planet of beauty and money, She is the Feminine opposite to Mars
She rules Libra and Taurus
Venus and Libra are happy together, they get along, Venus understands Libra’s need for harmony and Libra enjoys the beauty of Venus…
Relationship issues will go easier with Venus here, negotiations will be smoother and hopefully solutions can be found to ongoing relationship challenges.
Some folks get engaged under this influence…
If you are looking for professional advice regarding your money, an accountant should be able to point you in the right direction, although banking and investment issues, can, and perhaps should, be left until Venus visits with Scorpio…
Compromises can be reached during this time, it doesn’t matter if everyone doesn’t see eye to eye on everything, pick out the things you can compromise on and make your changes there.
Some folk may need to watch their spending habits now, it’s very easy to be swayed by all the sparkles and beautiful things out there… :)
Watch out for the charmers, because they may be even more convincing now… works well for those who need to get noticed in order to move ahead with plans.
Those in the entertainment industry and who have a Leo influence in their charts, may look even more beautiful than usual under this influence… getting a new role or two could be on the agenda… :)
Everyone will be affected by this influence … However, folks who have the following in their charts will feel the “Venus effect” stronger:
