Great news! After WEEKS of both Venus and Mercury in retrograde, today they both go direct.
What does this mean for us? Both planets affect our daily lives quite a bit. Mercury governs communication, so retrograde often brings havoc in our technological systems and everyday discourse. Even normal interactions with people at work can become strained and awkward while Mercury is in retrograde. There is also a tendency during this time to become nostalgic. Mercury Retrograde asks us to reflect on past periods of our lives in order to learn from them.
This Mercury Retrograde has been particularly intense, because Venus has also been retrograde since the beginning of October. Venus Retrograde asks us to re-evaluate our romantic attachments and how they might take us into the future. We spent the last several weeks, whether we always realized it or not, trying to make sure our love affairs met our high expectations. If they didnāt, they were either tested or ended. But, of course, some love affairs got stronger in the process.
All this to say, today is a chance to take a deep breath and enjoy the clear focus we will have in our daily exchanges and love lives. Or more simply put, now you can feel free to text your ex, sign that important contract, and otherwise relish in this fresh, active energy.
