It's a weird one.  I'm glad I've got an element of Gemini in my chart, bacause there are very mixed messages out there, with some people going even deeper to the point of acuteness and others beginning to dare to hope again.  And I can see it both.  But looking at client's readings I've done in the last nine months, the most common forecast was that of better personal economic and financial circumstances by the middle of October.  Now, as we approach that time, I have no idea how this is going to transpire.  I think a lot of people are cutting their cloth, so to speak.  But as I said to someone yesterday, it's Mercury retrograde, in a highly unusual position.  Imagine yourself windsurfing, but you're at the point where incoming and outgoing tides are twisting with each other, and with M Rx you can't 'go with the flow' because the flow is all over the place, in a hundred directions at once.  So concentrate on balancing, staying upright, twisting and turning at any given moment and metaphorically STAYING ALIVE when all around you there's decay and disorder.  Just under a week and Mercury stops going backward, and we should see some light by early October.  And - footnote - I see that the UK has decided to cut its nuclear submarines from four to three on the grounds of relaxed security.  Nothing to do with cost, then.  Scrap the lot I say, all this posturing is just so twentieth century.
