Finish old projects to clear space for what you're imagining. File, sort and organize. Contemplate desired results, and lay the groundwork. Meditate for clarity.
Keep a philosophical or spiritual outlook. Meditation provides peace of mind. Savor silence and private contemplation. Slow down and imagine the results you'd love.
You may feel especially sensitive or supercharged. You see creative possibilities everywhere. You might feel overwhelmed, too. Pamper yourself with quality alone time.
Begin a new home and family phase. Domestic changes require adaptation under the full moon. Renovate, remodel and tend your garden. Allow time to recharge. Plan and schedule your next big work project. Stick to familiar domestic routines with venus retrograde for five weeks. Connect with elders and ancestors. Give up outdated philosophies that no longer serve. Concentrate on the finer details of an enthusiasm. Accept new responsibilities as you prepare. Develop a project from an idea to reality. Professional opportunities shine under this new moon.

The smallest planet in the Solar System, Mercury's closest to the Sun and completes an orbit every 88 days.
Mercury's retrograde lasts about three weeks, and occurs three times a year. Mercury's the planet that rules over communication, intellect, education, commerce and transportation. Retrograde effects include slowing, blocking, jamming and breakdowns. Listening and reviewing gets more important, as the message can become garbled, lost or delayed.
Mercury's the ruling planet for both Gemini and Virgo, so people born under these signs can be more affected by Mercury Retrograde.

Mars is the action planet, named for the warrior god in Roman mythology. It takes the fourth planet about 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
When Mars goes retrograde, which it does every 2 and a half years (usually for two months), thought takes precedence over overt actions, and pressure can become internalized. Stress can lead to health problems, and impulsiveness can lead to arguments and accidents. Release emotion with exercise. It's a good time to take it slower, review the plans, and re-define goals and methods. Avoid risky business, for love or money. New endeavors can stall or may not go as intended, so it's better to choose a launch date after Mars goes direct.
Mars retrograde affects each person individually according to their natal chart, but in general, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, so these signs are especially affected.
