1.  Uranus turns retrograde on Wednesday.  Now there are five retrograde planets including Chiron, so watch for things to require a little more “doing over” than usual.

2.  Also on Wednesday, Venus forms a square to Chiron and Neptune, creating some challenge in our relationships.

3.  As if Wednesday wasn’t intense enough, Mercury in Gemini squares Uranus.  Any meetings scheduled on Wednesday could get a little disruptive.  This is a great time to learn new things or engage with technology.

4.  However, a trine from Mercury to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune will help us to assimilate any difficulties that come up so that we can discuss them with others.

5 and 6.  Late Wednesday and early Thursday, Venus forms a square to Jupiter and a sextile to Uranus.  We are a little freer now and more able to move past conflicts of the previous few days.

7.  Mercury enters Cancer on Friday.  The mind is more sensitive now and communication can become more reactive.  We move away from the intellectual curiosity of Gemini into the emotional attachment of Cancer and become more concerned about how our thoughts affect others.

8.  Mercury opposes Pluto Saturday morning.  This can bring a sharpened focus to work that requires a mental focus, but it can also indicate a tendency to obsess.
