Mercury has been in retrograde for the past few weeks and perhaps created a lot of issues and problems. Today, healing centaur Chiron shares a minor aspect with Mercury retrograde in Gemini, allowing us to heal issues and mend our hearts. This cosmic connection gives us a chance to apologize to others whether they want to hear it or not. It also gives others a chance to make amends with us. This is a time in which we can move past issues, but only if we’re willing to do so.
You also might hear from an ex or someone else from your past who is reaching out to gain clarity and closure. You don’t have to respond if you don’t want to. Assess the situation and make sure that you’re ready to engage with them.
Mars in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn also connect today. They’re giving us the strength to deal with problems that have been weighing on our minds for some time. Be forewarned that this is a belligerent aspect. It could create tension between you and others, so choose your battles wisely.
