After some ups and downs on the relationship front, when at the start of last week, the Moon and Mars both crossed the lunar nodes but from different sides, things have not only evened out but have turned around completely. The lunar nodes will continue to police a balance between your own and your relationship needs for the rest of the year, but it was having the Moon and Mars cross at the same time, with the Moon in your relationship sector and Mars in Aries that brought this to a head. Now, as the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all spend their first full week in your communication sector the focus has shifted to giving anything flushed out then a voice. Venus is only here for another three weeks, but her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice has more than enough support. It is the Moon's transit through your friendship sector from Tuesday to Thursday that will see it form a friendly aspect to all three planets in your communication sector and to the South Node in your relationship sector, bringing them together for the first time.

To have had the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all leave your income sector within the space of just a few days and with Jupiter's 12 month quest for income growth and expansion having just ended on Sunday, brings a need to regroup as you get your bearings as the dynamics of this financial year change. This is not the end of all planetary activity in your income sector and instead, with Mars still two weeks away the most lucrative months of 2024 are still in front of you. However, until then there is a chance to stand back and let things play out. With Mercury leaving next Monday, this is a week for using his smart head for money to stand back from the hype of recent weeks and get your feet back on the ground as you regroup. Helping with that is beginning the week with the Moon in your career sector, something that as well as ensuring your professional instincts are sharp will help connect all the different threads across the income, work and career fronts.

Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your career sector will always be an advantage, ensuring your professional instincts and imagination are fuelled and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged from the start. However, this is not only pulling things together across the income, work and career fronts from the start but at a time when there have been some significant changes on all three fronts, making this a valuable chance to check in. This is the Moon's first visit since the dwarf planet Ceres turned retrograde here, since the pace started to pick up on the job front and just days after the Sun, Venus and Jupiter left your income sector, will see it start the week at a friendly aspect to the planets still there. Until Mars returns to your income sector at the end of next week to begin what could be some of the most lucrative six weeks of the year, the Moon brings a chance for a head count and a reassessment of the players still on the field. This is also a window into Ceres' shift in focus onto the past as she continues her deep dive into your professional needs and priorities.

When the Sun, Venus and Jupiter left your income sector last week, they didn't just change the dynamics of this financial year but of the year itself. While this brought Jupiter's 12 month quest for income growth and expansion to a close, with Mercury here for another week and Mars returning at the end of next week to fire things up again, the most lucrative months of the year are still in front of you. In the meantime, beginning the week with the Moon in your career sector is not just a chance to move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp from the start. Before leaving on Tuesday the Moon will connect with planets across the income, work and career fronts in what will be a chance to regroup. Meanwhile, in their first full week in your communication sector the Sun, Venus and Jupiter are forming new partnerships, this time with Pluto in your friendship sector and the South Node in your relationship sector. At the same time, before leaving Aries at the end of next week, Mars continues to fire up your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit.
