Contend yourself this week to work behind the scenes, making the most of the lack of pressure and urgency and preparing for a real turnaround over the next few weeks. That won't start until next week, with a New Moon in your work sector next Wednesday, 5 days before Mercury turns direct in your work sector and 6 days before Pluto turns direct in your career sector. Until then Mercury and Pluto are not only still in retrograde motion, but actively working together to turn the tables on past challenges, doing whatever they can to turn them into opportunities or to create some second chances. Pace yourself and recharge your batteries, with some busy and productive weeks ahead. Trust that the challenges of the past really are behind you.

With the oppositions that have dominated things since Venus, Mars and Saturn moved into your work sector now behind you, you're finally able to make the most of the awesome power that having all 3 here at the same time gives you and not a moment too soon. While Saturn visits your work sector once every 3 decades, Mars once every 2 years and Venus once a year, the last time they were all here at the same time was in 1951, 59 years ago. With Venus due to leave next week and Mars the week after, this is an advantage that will soon be lost, yet anything that you're able to commit to your heart and your passions too will be sustainable, with Saturn staying on until October 2012. The tough part is behind you, with a chance now to really get things moving on the job front.

Tread water this week, keeping things in motion and responding to situations without pushing anything, instead biding your time or recharging your batteries ahead of a dramatic surge next week. With Uranus already back in your career sector there has already been a shift and already you can sense that the challenges of the past are gone. With Jupiter, planet of luck, returning to your career sector next Thursday, the same day that Venus reaches your work sector, you're in for some of the best professional months on record. It's then that Venus begins her longest visit to your work sector since 2002 and Jupiter and Uranus align in your career sector for the first time in 82 years. This opens the door to a period that extends out to January 2011 that is game changing.

With Jupiter, planet of luck, due to leave your career sector next week, he'll be making the most of his last full week here by pushing for as many results as possible. Knowing that he won't return until January 2011, Jupiter is urging you to pursue as many leads and to have as many balls in the air as possible. He's not staying around long enough to see which ones will succeed and which won't, so he's urging you to give everything a go and to rule nothing out. With the pressure of recent weeks behind you and any work/life balance issues sorted out, all you need now is to give things on the professional front as much momentum as possible. Focus less on seeing things through to the finish and more about getting things started, especially those things that warrant a second look.

The Moon is making a timely visit to your career sector early in the week, just as work pressure eases and income confidence rises. It was just a week ago on Monday that Pluto and your work sector finally managed to escape the vice like grip of a Saturn/Jupiter opposition and that the Sun moved into your income sector, yet already the tables are turning. With Mercury and Pluto both in retrograde motion and both due to turn direct a day apart, on the 13th and 14th September, they're creating second chances on both the income and job fronts with a real turnaround likely in just a few weeks time. It's the Moon's position in your career sector in the first few days of the month that helps you to get your bearings, with your instincts right on the money.

Until now Neptune and Chiron, the planets of dreams and healing have been happy to keep their heads down in your work sector, deeming it unsafe to make too much noise as you battled some very tough financial forces. Yet with financial pressures easing and income confidence rising dramatically, this is having a positive spin off on the job front. As Venus moves into the final phase of her visit to your income sector and as she gets closer to her departure next Thursday, she's moving into a very positive aspect with both Neptune and Chiron, inspiring both your job confidence and your imagination. It's the Moon's visit to your career sector from Wednesday to Friday that is likely to evoke some very opportune hunches. Focus less on what you know and more on what you sense.

There is a sense of anticipation in the air this week and based on the very challenging few weeks you've been through on the personal front and before that some challenging months or even years on the job front, you can be forgiven for wondering if the light at the end of the tunnel is an approaching train wreck. Yet if you're honest with yourself you'll know that it's excitement you're feeling rather than anxiety, with a sense that you're close to a turnaround right on the money. With Uranus already back in your work sector fate is already sending clues and working to put you in the right place at the right time. Now it's just a case of waiting, for Jupiter to return to your work sector and Venus to reach your income sector, next week.

You're moving into the new working week with your finger on the pulse and your intuition enhanced, with the Moon having spent the weekend in your work sector. While the Moon moves on before your new working week has a chance to kick off, he's left you with a keen sense of observation and of where things stand. This gives you an inside edge into what is one of the most important weeks of the year as far as your job is concerned with Jupiter, planet of luck, spending his last full week in your work sector. Due to leave next Thursday and then not returning until next January, Jupiter is encouraging you to keep as many doors open and as many balls in the air as possible, without second guessing which will pan out. Cover all your bases and leave no room for 'what ifs'.

Timing is everything, with conditions developing this week creating nothing but opportunities and a new sense of confidence, yet the same conditions just a month or two ago would have created real problems. It's the Sun and Mercury's position in your career sector, their alignment later in the week and a New Moon next week, that until the end of July would have involved Saturn. But Saturn is gone and he's not coming back for another 3 decades, yet already you're aware of just how much he has managed to raise the bar and the playing field that you now have to yourself. With Mercury in retrograde motion you're able to retrace your steps, ensuring no opportunity is missed and that any issues from the past are resolved, new doors start to open, from as early as next week.

On Monday it's only been a month since Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition moved into your career sector and even less since Venus arrived 8 days later. Yet already they're ready to wrap up their most important visit in decades, with Venus leaving next week and Mars the week after. A lot of water has passed under the bridge in the last month, with some of the toughest professional challenges on record now behind you. This leaves you free to maximise the benefits that having Venus, Mars and Saturn in your career sector at the same time creates, knowing it's been 59 years since the planets of desire, ambition and determination have been here at the same time. Put everything you have into everything you do, letting your heart and your passions take the lead.

You're playing a waiting game, with a sense of anticipation in the air but the only real sign that anything has or is about to change, being the fact that you're feeling more confident about your income options, with small coincidences starting to occur. It's the Moon's visit to your work sector over the weekend, arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday that gives you a chance to delve deeper into what your intuition is telling you, with intuitive lunar vibes giving things a nudge in the right direction. What you are picking up on is a turnaround next week with Venus reaching your career sector next Thursday, on the same day that Jupiter not only returns to your income sector but aligns with Uranus, for the first time here in 82 years. This will put you on an unstoppable roll.

With the Sun gone from your work sector since last Monday and Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition not due to reach your career sector until the end of October a lot of thrust over recent months has brought you to a level or a place where you're able to coast for a while. Once Mars arrives in your career sector on the 28th October it will be all go until February 2011, making it important that you do what you need to, to keep things moving on the job front while looking ahead, to where to from here. Don't try and jump the gun for your time is best spent considering your next moves, for the 28th October will come around before you know it. In the meantime make the most of Jupiter's last full week in your income sector, ensuring no stone has been left unturned.
