\Tempo Picking Up/

A focus on home is likely on Monday until around noon Tuesday. Late Tuesday and Wednesday bring a more relaxed and playful mood.

For the whole period, annoying technical matters or matters of paperwork and the like are being resolved often in difficult ways but with possible success. I myself am shocked that in a supposedly sophisticated technological culture the high priests of technology, including programmers, are so sloppy, careless and seemingly malicious as to make doing the simplest things almost impossible. But I will not regale you with another tale of woe (you cannot log in with this information, you gave the wrong password, you must sign in to a different account before you sign into this account, call us [but nobody will answer], don't call us [nobody is here but a robot] and so on.) I have had it up to here with all that. I hope it is not that bad for you, but Mars in Virgo quincunx Uranus has made for technological mayhem for many.

Despite all that, the moon is in Virgo, a neat orderly sign. You want some order in your home, for the sake of peace of mind. You may want music. Singers get attention with Jupiter and the sun in Taurus, trined by the moon Tuesday evening.

Old friends may link with you in peculiar ways which make no logical sense but fulfill some need.

Quick changes in what could be love keep you a step ahead of yourself if you are not to stumble over yourself or someone.

Someone in your home or near it who fascinates you in some ways may serve you well.

There are two young people you might connect with or observe: One intellectual and harsh, all business, wanting system. The other unpredictable, independent, annoying. (Or these could be two facets of one.) Cooperating with either of them might be easier later Tuesday.

Order in your job or career is important, while you sort out what is necessary, some of it fateful, with a burden of the past which you are lifting to make it easier to carry. Research on difficult matters contains fascination as well as utility.

The more you attend to your work, the more secure you feel about finances.

There is so much you could do, you are pulled in many directions, but when you focus on one small thing at a time you make swift progress. Mars is speeding up in Virgo, so what has seemed a slow start to the Bright Hermetic Epoch (which began April 23) is becoming more convincing.

People are flibbertigibbet, coming and going quickly, dropping you, coming back, so that eventually you feel secure because you and they are like yo-yos on a string. They cannot get very far away. There is a bounce in relationships.

People who share a philosophy or teaching with you are solid companions.

Research & Development is soaring in many fields, with amazing inventiveness which has enough staying power to stick with its inventions until the kinks are worked out.

As Tuesday goes on, you become more of an opportunist, in business and love. Improbable and peculiar, though temporarily thrilling, attractions turn up, to be turned down. (Oh well.)

The v-of-c moon on Wednesday is no cause for alarm but you can let go of intense pushing perhaps, and do little things which are either routine or relaxing and refreshing.
