The Stars This Week - "Movement -- Finally!" - January 28 - February 3, 2008

Movement -- Finally!

01/28/07 - 02/03/07 (sic)

Whenever more than one planet changes direction within days of each other, projects that have been stalled tend to receive a burst of energy. These times are event-filled, but make sure you don't move too fast. Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius on January 28, so you'll want to revisit some old ideas and conversations. Then, Mars turns direct on January 30 and you finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy the forward movement of your plans and projects!

January 28: Mercury turns retrograde

Mercury retrograde periods are famous for misunderstandings and glitches in communications and travel. Cars end up in the shop and travel arrangements go awry. This is not the best time to buy vehicles or media products. You can wait three weeks, can't you? Double check your travel reservations and bring something good to read in case you get delayed. This is a wonderful time to review various areas of your life. If you know your chart, look to see where Mercury is retrograding (this time in Aquarius) and see where it will benefit you to take care of unfinished business.

January 30: Mars turns direct

Whew! Warrior, action-packed Mars has been held in check since last November. Think of a small child who hasn't been able to go out and play for two-and-a-half months and, well, you get the idea. Once the door opens, all of that energy wants to release. Most plans and projects will move forward -- slowly at first, but then pick up momentum. Some situations will come to an end, and you're likely to feel that it's time move in a new direction -- and it is!

1. Mars direct! Mars direct! Mars direct! I'm getting champagne.

And I don't even drink.

2. Generally

I don't ever look at where these planets are transiting but I was called to do so this time. Looks like the Eighth House for Mercury Retrograde and the Eleventh House for Mars going Direct. Seems like a bit of opposition to me. At least this time I'll know what to be looking out for.

Thanks, Dream!
Edit to correct spelling!

3. Well, this is the week I find out about the script contest

that I placed in. The winners will be announced on Feb 1--Friday. It does seem to be an interesting week ahead.

Best to everyone:)

4. All Good luck to you! I am a screenwriter too

As yet undiscovered, but I went to AFI and now teach screenwriting at our local community college. I've had some luck in contests, and a couple of scripts optioned, but nothing produced.

Blue Roses, are you in SoCal? What contest did you enter? What kind of scripts do you write?

This is quite exciting for me. B-)

5. Hi guys. I'm new here,

and RATHER CONCERNED!

'misunderstandings and glitches in communications and travel' began my day today, and if they continue, well, I'm really up a creek! Traveling to Florida (from DC area) tomorrow to visit elderly parents in new community; will be there while other family issues simmer up north, and I drive back in gift of folks' used car.

Will be thinking of y'all!
PS, birthday Feb 4.('45, NY, NY.)
