One, obviously, is to find the right partner. The other one is to make a conscious effort to work with the planetary energies that are available at the time. Right now we are still in the middle of <b>Venus square Mars<\/b>. As I pointed out last week, neither <b>Venus in Scorpio (still retrograde)<\/b> nor <b>Mars in Aquarius<\/b> are noted for always making the best or wisest decisions about where to invest their love and\/or sexual energies. That sort of thing takes logic and discernment, and for the most part this will be a good week for that.<\/p>\n<p>It is fortunate that this week sees a number of strong aspects forming to Mercury, and most of them are good and stable ones. <b>Mercury is currently in Scorpio<\/b>, and yes &#8212; in the simplest possible interpretation, that means sex could be on people&#8217;s minds more than usual. But more importantly than that, Mercury in Scorpio has a certain depth of logic to it that most other Mercury placements can&#8217;t match&#8230; and you may need that depth this week.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest influence early in the week is <b>Mercury conjunct Venus<\/b>, which is exact on Monday. This is an excellent aspect for expressing yourself in a creative manner. You should be able to find the words and expressions to both convey your depth of feeling and yet hopefully do so without scaring anyone off&#8230; you may have noticed that Scorpio does &#8220;intense&#8221; particularly well, so be cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you use those words of yours wisely in the first part of the week, because things could get a little trickier with your expressions of affection on the weekend. Two aspects to Mercury are exact on Friday. One of them is <b>Mercury trine Neptune<\/b>. That&#8217;s a wonderful placement for writing poetry or a love letter, or possibly for putting out a new personal ad, but frankly it&#8217;s not that great at being logical. At least these two planets are connected by the trine aspects, which should make having overly romantic and unrealistic expressions of a Mercury-Neptune aspect a little more useful and practical.<\/p>\n<p>Friday also brings us <b>Mercury square Mars<\/b>. This can make for some great ideas and it can give you the strength to speak the words that you have been avoiding for so long with someone. It&#8217;s also a little like that guy at the end of the bar who&#8217;s been quietly drinking by himself who then suddenly feels the urge to stand up and start shouting his opinions at you. Please, literally or figuratively, when you are dealing with a loved one or a stranger&#8230; do not be that guy this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can Mercury in Scorpio out-think Venus retrograde?<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/?p=93835\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[650],"class_list":["post-93835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-forecast"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pekXVE-opt","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93835"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93847,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93835\/revisions\/93847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
