Before the sun rises, Mercury in virgo opposes Neptune retrograde in pisces, creating an atmosphere of frustration. Mercury in virgo can activate our fault-finding tendencies while Neptune brings emotional fog. Mercury-Neptune together in the sky can lead to disillusionment or deception at it's worst, or encourage imagination and fantasy at its best. Since this energy can be disorienting, it's not the best time to make important decisions. Through relaxing the mind, peace and creativity can be channeled and embraced.
It’s a quiet day in the cosmos until the evening when Mercury in virgo trines Pluto retrograde in capricorn, providing support. If you were contemplating healing and transformation throughout the day, the Mercury-Pluto meetup arrives to empower you in your process. The opportunity to heal insecurities around perfectionism and communication (Mercury in virgo) blends perfectly with Pluto's powers of regeneration. Forgiveness could be offered or received and a powerful conversation could take place.
