Friday, NOVEMBER 13

Both Mercury and Venus turn direct today. Venus began its retrograde on October 3rd in the sign of Scorpio, and today it turns direct in Libra.

Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Venus (including love, pleasure, comfort, and money) should move forward more straightforwardly. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds, and warmth and affection are easier to express openly and directly. Tact and diplomacy re-emerge, and more clarity is likely to come to our love and social relationships.

While the shift occurs today, we may feel confused or disoriented. It’s important to be patient and take time to process our feelings.

This is especially the case with Mercury stationing and also turning direct today. As the shifts from direct to retrograde occur, problems can be magnified, and it can be harder to understand directions or one another.

Mercury has been retrograde since October 24th. With Mercury now direct, recent problems with communication and decision-making should start to improve over the coming weeks. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. Plans or projects that have stalled might now resume.

However, we may be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during today’s shift, so impactful decision-making might be avoided for the time being, as our thinking can be temporarily skewed.

All in all, it’s a better day to take in rather than take action.
