Libra Monthly Career Horoscope

Don't be fooled by a slow start to the month, for the professional gods are getting ready to pull a bait and switch on you. While the month will begin with the Moon in your work sector and until leaving on 3rd August will be giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters. At the same time, while a friendly aspect to Mercury in your career sector as it moves through will get the month off to a positive start on the job and career fronts, it will be with a sense that things are winding down. By the time you move into the new month, it has only been five days since the North Node left your work sector, but with no planets here until early next year, all you have now is the sense of direction it left you with. At the same time, by this point Mercury, who will normally move through your career sector in 14 to 15 days, has been here for two months and is finally getting ready to leave on 10th August. While back in direct motion, a retrograde turn kept Mercury here during Jupiter's final four weeks in your career sector, throughout the Sun's month long visit and as Venus moved through, he is ready to leave. With the North Node gone and Mercury preparing to leave, you can be forgiven for thinking that the professional gods are packing up and going home. However, nothing could be further from the truth. While Mercury will end all planetary activity in your career sector when he leaves on 10th August, only for a few hours and he won't leave it empty, with the Moon moving through from 9th August to 11th August. As if waiting for the Moon to return before Mercury could leave, it will do the same, holding on and not leaving until just seven minutes after Mars returns on 11th August to give this professional year its second wind and open up a whole new chapter. At the same time, the North Node might have left your work sector, as a direct result of its time here, when the Moon returns on 28th August, it will be as an eclipsing Full Moon, energising things on the job front as well.
