Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of November in your career sector, this is always an important point in any professional year, though with a lot more going on that is going to both promote this beyond its normal boundaries and help to keep life balanced. By the time the Sun returned to your career sector on 23rd October, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your career and professional situation, matters and options, Venus had already been here for six weeks and Mercury for three weeks, with heart and mind already in the game. Considering Venus will normally move through in 24 days and Mercury in just 14 to 15 days, this wasn't the norm. Both that they had already been here that long and that they had returned that far ahead of the Sun, something that will have implications for the rest of the year. Returning this early in the year has forced Venus and Mercury to slow down and turn retrograde. Venus will turn retrograde here every eight years and Mercury every six to seven years, but the last time it was at the same time was in 1986. It was during the Sun's first and Venus' last full day before retrograding back out that Mercury's retrograde turn will keep him here until 6th December, keeping the seat warm for when Venus returns on 4th December to end the year in your career sector. In the meantime, helping to keep things balanced is that two days after the Sun left your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery last month and over six weeks after leaving, Venus retrograded back in for a do over. This will see Venus reunite with Uranus, who since they parted ways in September, has turned retrograde in a playful and creative part of your chart. While this is an unexpected boost for the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence and will help to balance what is happening professionally, until Venus turns direct on 14th November, they will both be holding the doors open to the past and second chances. Meanwhile, this is going to be a powerful month on the communication and relationship fronts.
