Astrology today: Time to shift gears

Sunday March 17, 2013: The big astro-event of the day happens at 4:03 pm EDT when, after 3 weeks of being retrograde, Mercury comes to a halt and starts moving forward again.

The past few weeks have been a time to rethink ideas and revisit previously covered territory. And today you're definitely ready to shift focus and start implementing plans, plus your eagerness to get life back on track will be amplified by the Moon's shift into restless Gemini at 2:08 am EDT.

Just don't be too hasty to get the show on the road. Pay close attention to what you say or communicate in general for the next few days. Yes, details will slowly begin to start take care of themselves but it will be mid week before Mercury is back up to its normal speed and April 6, 2013 before Mercury leaves his shadow behind and you're thinking is perfectly clear, and until that time past issues, events or decisions might need to be revisited - yet again.
