Saturday, APRIL 18

Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto today, improving our ability to see multitudes of layers of a situation. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided.

It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and from looking beyond the surface. Conversations are probing, investigative, and meaningful, and we may gain a deeper psychological understanding of our lives. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound or stuck in a difficult position.

Mercury also harmonizes with Juno, and we want to learn, reason things out, and gain knowledge to empower ourselves. It’s an excellent time to collaborate with someone to generate ideas or solve problems and enjoy mental rapport. Feelings might develop for someone due to what is said or a mental connection made.

It’s also a good time to sense trends and interpret dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings as the day advances and we approach a Mercury-Neptune parallel. This transit stirs themes of daydreaming, visualization, and prophecy. We can come up with unusual but helpful theories. It’s possible to heal and inspire through our words.
