Additionally, Mercury is \u00a0in harmonious aspect with both Pluto (transformational power) and Venus (the power of attraction and love), so there is an agility now with the mind and communication matters that will serve us well.<\/p>\n

As I wrote last week<\/a>, the influence of Pluto is still strong and tomorrow it too changes direction as it begins its six-month forward travels. \u00a0The outer planets travel retrograde for six months out of the year, ensuring that we retrace the steps of any path that needs greater balance or perfection. \u00a0When Pluto begins moving direct again, its transformative power will be seen in the outer expression of our lives to a greater degree.<\/p>\n

That transformative power deepens even more tomorrow as Mars, the planet of drive and desire, enters the passionate sign of Scorpio. \u00a0Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio and is quite at home in the intense emotional drive of the Scorpio influence. \u00a0But some of us are not quite as comfortable with this degree of intensity and you may need to take some time to acclimate to this new energy. \u00a0I\u2019ll be writing more about Mars in Scorpio over the next few days.<\/p>\n
