March 18 - March 24, 2024
On Tuesday Mercury will cross the lunar nodes, something that will see him align with the North Node in your work sector for the first time in 18 years but also oppose the South Node on the opposite side of the sky in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. The lunar nodes will continue to police how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off all year, but Mercury is the first of the faster planets to put this to the test and the timing couldn't be better. This not only happens during the Sun's last full day in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart but a day before he is due to join Mercury, something that on the March equinox will always see the solar spotlight shift from the playful to the busy side of life's fence. To go into this aware of when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off couldn't be more important. Especially with Venus in just her first full week in a playful and creative part of your chart and Mars returning over the weekend.
