Make sure you have back-up plan

OVERVIEW: Mercury resumes forward motion allowing things to get going again. Advance to the next or final stage. We also have the new moon helping out with a fresh start in the maverick sign of aries that likes action. Make good use of all this spring energy. Be careful not to push those who are not ready. Excitement can cause some to ignore the costs or practicalities of what they want. Seek outside funding if this becomes necessary. Relationships grow under this energy as well. Some take the plunge or make the call. Choices can be life changing so weigh the odds. Have a way out or back-up plan for any risks taken. Be security conscious on more than one level.
