Your Weekly Horoscope: Brace Yourself, Mercury's in Retrograde Again

March 4 – March 10, 2019

Astrologically, this is a busy week. It begins as lively Mercury turns retrograde in the sign of Pisces on Tuesday. This marks the first of three times Mercury turns retrograde in 2019 and could coincide with delays and mixed messages until it goes direct again on March 28.

On Wednesday, electric Uranus leaves Aries and moves into Taurus for the long term, until 2026. It could bring dynamic change to those areas of life where you might be just a little too comfortable. This only happens every seven years, so this is a big deal! During this grounding period, you might want to start making a plan for more material goals surrounding finances, career, and the like.

On that same day, there’s a new moon in Pisces which can be excellent for kick-starting projects or new habits as well as taking key relationships to a new level. As this lunar phase also connects with hazy Neptune, it would be a good idea to be very clear about what you want to accomplish. There’s no room for vagueness here!

The sun makes a positive and focused angle with sobering Saturn on Friday. However, the link between fiery Mars to nebulous Neptune over the weekend may inspire relaxation rather than hard work.

Time to detox. With the sun journeying through your spiritual sector, it’s a fabulous time to release negative situations or relationships that are causing more harm than good.

You may hate plans, but with Uranus’s move toward grounding Taurus, it’s a good idea to organize your finances.
