Venus, planet of money and desire, returns to your sign on Monday and while this makes you more aware of your desires in general and triggers the laws of attraction, the real cash benefits are still a few weeks away. Venus normally spends around 4 weeks in your sign, but she's on a tight timetable this year and will only spend 3 ½ weeks. This means that she is due to reach your income sector ahead of schedule. Due to return to your income sector on the 1st April, just a week before Saturn is due to return to your work sector, focus for now on all the currencies in your life, practicing for when you'll be a lot more focused on your financial currencies. Already your professional choices will be geared towards the income opportunities opening up in just 3 ½ weeks from Monday.

The Moon's return to your financial sector over the weekend and the fact that he's not due to leave until Tuesday morning, sees you start the week with an intuitive read on your financial situation and with your instincts on high alert. Your instincts give you an accurate read on 'what is', not on 'what ifs' or 'if onlys'. While this may bring some wake up calls, with no planetary activity in either of your money houses and none until Venus reaches your income sector on the 25th April, these monthly visits from the Moon are crucial when it comes to keeping things on track. Listen to your instincts without over thinking or over analysing things, for that's when you run the risk of going off on a tangent. Your instincts will always tell you the truth.

As he does once a month, the Moon moves into your financial sector this week, arriving on Tuesday and leaving on Thursday. It's the Moon's alignment with Pluto on Tuesday that gives you a chance to hook into Pluto's energy, as he moves into his last month of direct motion in your financial sector. Due to turn retrograde on the 7th April, when he'll begin the process of retracing his steps and opening the door to second chances, Pluto is slowing down and calling for a more cautious approach. He knows that it's the things done in haste now that you'll have to go back and fix and repeat in just a few weeks time, so this usually impulsive planet is pulling his head in. Listen to your instincts, especially on Tuesday and if they're telling you no, then proceed with caution.

There is a major turning point on both the professional and financial fronts this week, with Venus' return to your career sector on Monday throwing Mars, in his final few days of retrograde motion in your income sector, a lifeline. Due to turn direct on Thursday, it's in Mars' final few days of retrograde motion, when things are likely to be most stuck, that you were in most danger of losing heart and becoming despondent. But it's Venus, planet of desire and money's move into your career sector that not only sees your professional desires and the laws of attraction kick in, but is likely to give you a real boost of confidence on the income front. This means that when Mars does turn direct on Thursday you'll be confident, inspired and ready to come out of your corner fighting.

It's on Monday that an auspicious 6 day period where the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus were working together as a team in your financial sector, for the first time in 83 years, comes to an end. It's on Monday that Venus leaves your financial sector, her job of inspiring the desires and triggering the laws of attraction that will keep things in motion long after she's gone, is now done. This is far from the end of the story and is really only the beginning, with Jupiter and Mercury aligning in your financial sector on Monday, the same day that Venus leaves in order to begin the process of turning desires into reality. It's now that the Sun and Mercury draw closer, with Mercury's intelligence aligning with the Sun's reality checks on Sunday, ahead of next Tuesday's New Moon.

Venus moves into your financial sector on Monday, beginning a short 3 ½ week visit, kick starting things on the financial front and also challenging you when it comes to your income situation. On her own until the Sun and Mercury reach your financial sector towards the end of next week, Venus is focused solely on your financial desires, which she'll be working to give a real boost to. As your financial desires kick in and start raising the bar this could create some pressure and by as early as Tuesday Venus will find herself in direct opposition with Saturn, now in his final month in your income sector, before retrograding back out on the 8th April. Yet where there is financial pressure it's a sign that the bar is being raised and neither Venus nor Saturn will let you settle for less.

On Monday, the same day that Venus leaves your work sector Jupiter and Mercury align, beginning the process of turning Venus' desires into reality. With Venus now just 3 ½ weeks away from your financial sector, her time in your work sector has had a very financial bias, with the planet of money directing your heart in the most lucrative direction. This makes it important to continue to follow your heart, for it's where the heart leads that the money will follow, especially when Venus is involved. For the next 3 ½ week's Venus' focus will be on your relationship sector, both personal and professional, but already she'll have her eye on your financial sector. When she arrives on the 1st April she'll bring the first planetary activity in either of your money houses this year.

The Moon's position at the start of the week is crucial, adding a third link to a transforming professional landscape. Having moved into your income sector over the weekend, it's not until Venus moves into your work sector on Monday that a triad of support links the Moon, Venus and Mars, now in his final days of retrograde motion in your career sector. This puts the Moon, Venus and Mars into a supportive alliance or coalition, linking your income, work and career sectors. While the Moon will be gone from your income sector by Tuesday morning, it's the burst of support this gives Venus in her first few days in your work sector and Mars in his final few days of retrograde motion in your career sector, that boosts and cements your financial and professional confidence.

Pluto, planet of change and revolution, is now in his last full month in direct motion in your income sector, turning retrograde on the 7th April. The planet that is usually a little trigger happy and prone to favour an impulsive approach is likely to be acting more cautiously. Not too hot on impulse control, Pluto is aware that the things he's too hasty with this month, whether it's encouraging you to spend or venture down the wrong income path, will be his responsibility to fix next month. Instead he's encouraging a wait and see approach, especially as Saturn is due to retrograde back to your career sector on the 8th April, just a day after Pluto turns retrograde. With both professional and income second chances opening up next month, Pluto will be encouraging you to sit on the fence.

It's Venus who saves the day on Monday, for as Mars moves into his final few days in retrograde motion in your financial sector and when you're at your most dangerous point of his retrograde period for losing heart, confidence and motivation, she steps in to offer her support. It's the supportive position between Venus and Mars on Monday that puts the planets of money and passion at an extremely positive angle. With Venus in your home and family sector, Mars is going to return the favour when he turns direct on Thursday, giving financial matters on the home, family or professional front a boost. Finding his confidence in his final few days of retrograde motion in your financial sector, your fighting spirit is kicking in, creating a real turning point as you claim your power back.

As the pressure from last week's Full Moon in your financial sector recedes, auspicious income forces are prevailing, so much so that Venus is happy to leave on Monday, her job of stimulating your desires and triggering the laws of attraction done. It's on Monday that Jupiter and Mercury align, immediately beginning the process of turning desires into reality, something that the Sun is also committed to. You've spent time establishing the 'what' and now it's time to work on the 'when, where and how'. The Sun and Mercury pool their resources this week, with the Sun's reality checks and Mercury's smart and intelligent approach drawing closer, until they align on Sunday. It's on Sunday that the Moon moves into your income sector, in preparation for Tuesday's New Moon.

There is a real turning point this week and it began before Venus moves into your income sector on Monday. It began over the weekend when the Moon moved into your career sector and still there on Monday when Venus moves into your income sector, this not only links your income and career sectors, but your work sector as well. From her new position in your income sector Venus is able to throw Mars, in his final few days in retrograde motion in your work sector a lifeline, in the form of a boost in motivation. Mars will repay the favour when he turns direct on Thursday, with Venus coming under pressure from Saturn, in his last month in your financial sector, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Financial pressure is a sign that the bar is being raised, financially and professionally.
