It’s a busy week amongst the planets. The world is changing, anything is possible, and we’ll see the evidence. Mercury retrogrades turns our thoughts inwards for a review of the past, but also squares urgent, chaotic Uranus and can help us change gears, change our minds, and switch things up.

But change can leave us uncertain, this line up can wear on already frayed nerves, worrying those facing the potential for a difficult change and possibly increasing our resistance. It can even rumble the ground under our feet. We can chafe at the bit in a hurry to get on with it.

We still have to take some basic Mercury retrograde cautions: thoughtfully practice extra safety care, be careful to say what one means, check any strange thing we hear, confirm appointments, and schedule in time for delays. In the process- listen to what people say because a slip of the tongue may reveal truth hidden before.

It can steady us to also reminisce about the good days, wherever we thought those were, as Mercury retrogrades and Venus in Virgo opposes history-loving Saturn and they both square Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Gemini. Along with the stories may come memories of our trust issues, poking us to ask what we trust and where we should fact check. It will be important to bring our attention to what is true, solid, and there for us.
