The week's sky 10/9: Venus moves into Scorpio today. 11/9: new moon at 4.27am, in Virgo. 11/9: Mercury moves into Libra today.

Fewer threads, more finished

Mercury spends most of the week in Virgo, which for you means detail arriving whether you sent for it or not: forms, dates, small print, the paragraph you skimmed. On Friday it moves on and so will you. The trick until then is to hold three things instead of nine, and to notice that the three get done while the nine get talked about.

Love

You are at your most charming and your least available, and somebody has noticed the second half. Pick one person this week and be properly present for an hour, phone in another room. Charm is cheap for you; attention is not, and attention is what is being asked for.

Work and money

Read it before you sign it. Somewhere this week there is a date, a rate or a renewal clause that will matter in October, and Wednesday is the day you would normally skim it. A short call clears more than a long thread, and you are better on the phone than you give yourself credit for.
