With Venus, planet of love now settled in your sign after arriving just 2 days ago, she's in a position now where she's able to help you make the most of Mars' last full day in retrograde motion in your romantic sector.

Just as Neptune and Chiron begin another alignment in your career sector, their third for the year, Mars spends his last full day in retrograde motion in your home and family sectors.

This is not a day for pushing yourself for not only do you not have to, you'll accomplish a lot more if you lie low and take a more intuitive approach. You may even feel like taking a sickie, with the stars ordering up one of those duvet days where you don't have the energy to do much. If your day is hectic and you don't have time for taking things slow, at least pace yourself, with your most inspired ideas likely to come when you're daydreaming.

You'll gain more if you take the time to double or triple check your work to date.
As Mars spends his last full day in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart, you may find that you're feeling a lot more restricted and even frustrated, restless or bored.
