Mercury and Venus are in lockstep together this week like two partners on the dance floor. Mercury is still moving a little slower than normal, about 1* per day now, thus traveling at same speed as Venus. On Monday, they are exactly conjunct in Aries. When these two get together, it usually means our social lives/relationships become very intellectual/mental in nature. Indeed, life should be extra chatty/gossipy this week, and many of us will have inspiring ideas that we need to commincate in some way. However, these ideas are likely to be highly subjective/egotistical in nature. Agreement with them from others may not be the case, and all these words can end up in heated disagreements/arguments. For those in close realtionships, this is a good week to clear the air in assertive ways, but if it becomes aggressive expect a defensive reaction. Emotions can be put into words more easily this week, so if you are feeling inspired by someone/something, be sure to express it. This is a good week to tell someone how you really feel about them, if you've been holding back in some way. You may be surprised by the response you get: it could either propel the relationship to new levels, or create an awkward "oops, I overshot the mark" moment. This is a good aspect to hammer out business agreements under also.
On Wednesday, both Mercury and Venus also conjunct Jupiter: get up early (right before dawn) and see this amazing spectacle in the pre-dawn eastern sky for yourself! Venus and Jupiter conjunctions traditionally have been one of the "luckiest" aspects there are where we can receive some kind of financial/relationship/etc windfall/lucky break. Adding Mercury to the mix, will bring positive inspiration to the mind and spirit. It may seem like so much is coming at you at same time that there is no time to absorb it before something else comes up. This is a Big Picture aspect that does not have time for details and discipline, so be aware that your ideas now can be tripped up/slowed down later by the overlooking of certain factors. People will be optimistic/friendly/extroverted/more tolerant, etc this week.
Wednesday also brings Mars ingress into Taurus, the sign of its detriment. Why? Because Mars likes quick action, whereas Taurus prefers to slow actions down and smell the roses. This is a good time to get into some longer term projects in yard/garden/home, and to bring some stability into your life and actions. Don't expect immediate results: be more like a marathon runner in your approach. Those who are very active physically may feel frustrated by this slowing down of energy and can become touchy with those they perceive as responsible for that.
This slowing down of actions is fortified on Thursday when Mars sextiles Neptune. This can bring some absolutely positive inspirations/ideas that is like a slow moving wave excitement building up. This is a great day to get into some type of slow movement physical activity like hatha yoga, tai chi, choreographed dance, etc. It's also a good time to do works of charity or group projects that are healing/spiritual in nature. If you're not up for group activities, it's also good for some alone time to meditate/contemplate: perhaps a solo hike/walk in nature would be fitting, or study of spiritual/metaphysical subjects.
Friday could be a somewhat frustrating as a Sun/Pluto sesiquadrate can block your desires in some way. The natural inclination will be to strike out at whomever or whatever is messing with you, but that may only sink you deeper into a quagmire of power trips, emotional manipulation, etc. and still not remove the blockage and leave your temper absolutely seething beneath the surface, where it can easily be triggered to explode and have you saying and doing things that will only entangle you deeper and wish you hadn't done in retrospect. This is a day best handled by "bighting the bullet" and doing some serious inner work to bring about the changes you desire.
Sunday Mercury and Venus ingress into Taurus together, the sign Venus rules. Relationships and resources have a tendency to stabilize under this influence and communications slow down and become grounded/solid. This is a time to enjoy all the earthly pleasures around us that mid-Spring brings.
