Aries (March 21st to April 19th)
You will find it easier to keep up last week’s new moon momentum this week.  Use this gust of energy to accomplish the most important tasks for the week first.  Also, be on guard for coming off too sharply with others. You’re on “10,” while other folks might be trying to keep up at “7.” Of course, this calls on you to have more patience with and compassion for co-workers, employees and friends. On Thursday, Mercury retrogrades. This means, from the Earth’s perspective, Mercury appears to recede while the Earth moves forward.  As a result, you may feel like communication and even your travel plans are a little backwards. So when there are stalls or delays, have some other work or activity to do in order to avoid feeling anxious.
