Venus moves on from its intense clinch with Pluto on Tuesday gliding into the sign of friendship Aquarius and forges a quite gorgeous link to Jupiter in Aries which peaks on Wednesday. This can trigger some fortune. But what type? Well, a conversation with a friend or associate could be uplifting, and provide a shot of confidence. Thinking outside the celestial box is also favoured this week. With Mercury asking us to rethink some of our worldly approaches, as it retraces its steps, its link with Neptune suggests we should not ignore our instincts.
