As Mars turns direct in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, this sees your focus and your attention shift towards the future and even an impatience develop about rehashing the past or going around in circles. Up until now this has been necessary, with a lot to be gained by either reconnecting or tracing your steps. This makes this an especially good day for new team or group initiatives or any situation where you're now moving things forward.

It's on Monday, just 6 days after Mercury left your romantic sector that Venus, planet of love, reaches your relationship sector. On her own until later next week, this opens up a new relationship chapter that at this stage anyway, is completely heart lead. This may create some pressure, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the planet of love moving into opposition with Saturn. While Venus returns to your relationship sector at around this time every year, year in and year out, the last time she found Saturn in opposition was in 1982, 28 years ago. This puts Venus on notice that the bar has been raised, with any pressure coming from a growing need for personal authenticity. No longer are you willing to compromise, sell yourself short or settle for less.
