Libra Weekly Career Horoscope

Week beginning Monday 20th July

Seven days after their alignment in your career sector peaked last Monday, the Sun and Mercury have not only moved in opposite directions and away from each other, with a different focus, agenda and timeframe. Until leaving on Thursday, as he does at this time each year, the Sun will keep the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options and on the road ahead. However, even though Venus and Jupiter have already left, missing is any urgency, with Mercury not only staying on, but is in retrograde motion and has the brakes on ahead of a direct turn on Friday, a day after the Sun leaves. As well as keeping your head in the game and until turning direct, with a chance to focus on what you can learn or gain from the past, this will keep him here until Mars returns next month to take over. Meanwhile, both the Sun and Mercury will be taking advantage of the North Node's last week in your work sector and on the sense of direction it has been giving work and job matters for the last 18 months.
