Your biggest challenge right now is that of pacing yourself, realising the importance of finding the right work/life balance and remaining patient while things settle. With Pluto on his own in your career sector and Mars still in his early days in retrograde motion in your work sector, you no longer have to bust a boiler.

With Neptune gone from your career sector the Sun and Mercury are quickly regrouping, beginning a 3 day alignment today that will help you to bring things home. It's the professional dreams and fantasies that Neptune has left you with that the Sun and Mercury are now able to turn into a strategic game plan.

Having the Moon in your income sector during Neptune's early days in your career sector and Venus' final days is giving you a nose for money, some clear motivation and a sense of where the money is. You're at the very dawn of a brand new career era, one that will take the next 14 years to play out, with a little income motivation going a long way.

The conditions are very deceptive at the moment, lulling you into a state of relaxation and ease and it's just as well. You are in fact just 48 hours from the start of the busiest 3 months of the year and even your instincts will be telling you to make the most of any down time, because you're going to need it, recharging your batteries while you can.

Instead of trying to recapture some of the urgency you began your new professional year with, worrying that the wind may have gone from your sails, make the most of the relative calm while it lasts. With Pluto now on his own in your work sector it's more about pacing yourself, with the real professional surge still another 4 weeks away.

Neptune's departure from your work sector 2 days ago, where he had been since January 1998 was the end of an era, with the Sun and Mercury regrouping to help tie up loose ends and bring things home. Aligned for the next 2 days, the Sun's vision and Mercury's intellectual savvy combine to lead the way forward.

The Moon has come full circle from last month's Full Moon in your career sector, returning to make sense of anything triggered then, to sharpen your professional instincts and also to provide additional clarity, at what is a game changing time on the work front. Forget the reality checks and listen to your intuition, imagination and heart.

In the countdown to Venus' return to your work sector in just 2 days time, when she'll kick off the busiest 3 months of the year, do whatever you can now to blow off some cobwebs or deal with the things that will give you more time later. This is a day for taking time out while you can and/or focusing on home and family.

The timing of Mars' retrograde turn in your career sector late last month and Venus' return to your work sector early next month is spot on, for it gives you a month to let things settle on both fronts. With Mars in retrograde motion in your career sector until mid April the door is open to second chances, but at this point you're still testing the waters.

Just 2 days after the Moon left your work sector and Neptune your income sector, you have a much clearer read on your objectives on both fronts, where they come together now and what you want and expect from the future. With Saturn in his final days in direct motion in your career sector, take the time to set some goals and objectives.

The Moon has come full circle from last month's Full Moon in your work sector, allowing you to make sense of what might have been a case of information overload last month. Having the Moon in your work sector in Neptune's first few and Venus' last few days in your income sector is providing some valuable and timely insight.

With the Moon due to return to your work sector tomorrow, ahead of a Full Moon in just 2 days time, you're drawing close to one of the key road markers in your professional year. This brings a need to take your work hat off as much as possible today, keeping your mind and your options open, ready to embrace a fresh perspective from tomorrow.
