Just 10 days after Venus returned to your sign, kicking off your Venus return Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking arrives today, kicking off a brand new Mercury cycle. This puts the planets that rule the heart and mind in your sign and with the Moon having snuck into your sign last night, you have an intuitive edge that allows you to link the two. With your old solar years now in its final days, this gives you a clear read on both the future and the past, allowing you to put things into perspective.
Taurus (April 20 - May 21)
Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking, moves into his final phase in your current Mercury cycle today, operating now in a very intuitive and imaginative part of your chart, alongside Venus. This puts smart and strategic Mercury vibes into a very intuitive setting, which creates a situation where you have intelligence and intuition to draw on. This helps you to cut through any pressure, especially on the work front, establishing what's real and what isn't.
Gemini (May 22 - June 20)
Mercury's move into your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking makes this an ideal day for networking, with the planet of communication giving you a real edge. This is especially so when it comes to professional networking, with the Sun and Uranus aligned in your career sector at the same time. It's the situations that you don't plan and where you have to think on your feet that you're most likely to shine or get the outcomes you want.
Cancer (June 21 - July 23)
Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking, moves into your career sector today, bringing his strategic game plan to a situation that Venus has had underway for 10 days now. It's the professional desires that Venus has already evoked and the sense of direction that your heart has developed that will remain in force, but they are now being backed up with the smart and strategic advantage that allows you to start turning desires into reality.
Leo (July 24 - August 23)
Mercury leaves your financial sector today, leaving the Sun behind in order to mop things up. Now out ahead of both Jupiter and Uranus, all the cards have been laid on the table and all the information needed to launch this lucky financial period has been delivered. While you work to put as much light on your financial situation as possible, Mercury is joining forces with the Venus in an adventurous part of your chart, giving you a more open mind.
Virgo (August 24 - September 23)
Until now Venus' time in your financial sector and especially during her alignment with the Moon yesterday, has been all about establishing what you want, with little thought to how you're going to make it happen. That's as it's supposed to be, for until now it's been a time for establishing 'what', rather than the 'when, where or how'. That changes today as Mercury joins Venus in your financial sector, giving you a smart head for money.
Libra (September 24 - October 23)
Mercury, planet of communication, moves into your relationship sector today, joining forces with Venus, planet of love, who has already been here for 10 days. With Venus already having a clear lead and with her desires already cemented, Mercury is here as a support, giving you an opportunity to open the communication lines and to ensure that heart and mind are on the same page. It's now that you're able to start walking the talk.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
With the Moon still in your work sector but no longer aligned with Venus, Mercury arrives today, adding a smart and strategic edge to an already strong intuitive edge. This puts Mercury at an extremely positive angle to Mars, a week to the day after he turned direct in your career sector. Already gaining speed, this creates a day where you're not only able to take a smarter approach to work matters, but when you're likely to be feeling a lot more competitive as well.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Just a day after the Moon and Venus aligned in your romantic sector Mercury, planet of communication arrives, 10 days after Venus kicked things off for the year. This gives your heart a voice and ensures that heart and mind are on the same page, but with Venus having such a strong lead, it's clear that the planet of love is intent on keeping that lead. This puts Mercury in a supportive position, giving you a chance to start turning desires into reality.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Mercury joins the Moon and Venus in your home and family sector today, adding an intellectual read on things that allows you to put things into perspective and to give Venus' desires and the Moon's intuition a voice. This begins a process of turning desires into reality and for giving voice to the things that until now have been fairly vague. Yet it's Venus' desires that will continue to take the lead, with Mercury here to offer strategic support.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)
As Mercury, planet of communication moves into your communication sector today, he finds himself at the same positive angle to Mars, in your relationship sector, as Venus found herself in 10 days ago. A lot has changed in those 10 days though with Mars, planet of passion, now in direct motion and with your focus now on the future. Just when things were likely to be moving on the relationship front anyway, Mercury is able to give things a nudge in the right direction.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)
Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking joins Venus in your income sector today and from the start this puts him at the same positive angle to Mars in your work sector, that Venus found herself in 10 days ago. Since then Mars has turned direct and things are moving on the work front, with the extra edge Mercury provides on the income front giving you an additional boost in confidence and motivation.
