Sunday, AUGUST 18

Retrograde Mercury forms a square to Uranus this morning and aligns with the Sun tonight. We can be scattered in our communications and thoughts early today. However, the inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun gives us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. It’s a good time to process recent events and ideas. At this midway point in the retrograde Mercury cycle, we begin looking at problems or issues from a fresh perspective and a new understanding.

Significant new ideas are born now and will likely have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or worse!

However, we may not have all the facts we need to reach a definite conclusion, and we might have to revise plans or decisions later. Tomorrow’s Full Moon and tense Venus aspects also remind us that emotions are running high and important decisions should wait.
