Mercury and Venus Turn Direct: Horoscope offers signs lucky picks; revisit paused plans

Two planets finish their retrograde today. Mercury turns direct after three weeks of crossed messages. Venus does the same after a longer stretch that slowed down money and love matters. Don’t expect everything to fix itself by evening, since planets need a few days to pick up speed after changing direction. But the direction has changed. So bring out the plan you shelved in October and look at it again with what you know now.
