There seems to be a theme running throughout this current Mercury Retrograde phase: the flow of ideas. Ideas that seem particularly ripe for the picking and acting on. If you can, jot them down in a journal or somewhere else where you can refer to them later. They might not make sense in the moment, but that doesn’t mean they should be discarded. Sometimes we get brilliant ideas but don’t truly see their usefulness until later. If you don’t already have one, start an “idea book,” in order to keep them organized and together. You’ll be happy you did.

The Gemini sun softly connects with Jupiter in Aries this morning. This energy can make us feel larger than life, as well as put some pep in our step. When the sun and Jupiter unite, it adds a grandiose flavor to the daily vibe. The caution is that you might feel more important than you actually are.

However, this energy can also bring us a lot of positivity and luck throughout the day, which is beneficial considering that Mercury, the planetary ruler of Gemini, is retrograde. We can gain clarity on matters, which we haven’t been able to in a while due to Mercury’s moonwalk.

Tonight, Mercury retrograde in Taurus harmonizes with Mars in Pisces, and this energy can go either way. If we try to get along with others and don’t step out of line, we can see our relationships evolve and grow. But if there is a lot of resentment brewing inside, it could boil over.

It’s up to you to decide how you want to use this transit. Keep in mind that passive-aggressive tendencies could reach a peak in the middle of the day due to these transits, but when it comes to miscommunication, Mercury retrograde is the culprit.

DAILY ORACLE

The darker the skies, the more it seems the dawn will never appear, but Nightingale Spirit is here to remind you that the sun will shine again. You will soon feel the love and notice the abundance that surrounds you.

Sing now—put on some music or simply sing in the empty space, for finding the light within and giving it voice will give rise to hope and help you begin to hear the call of another who, like you, was beginning to fear the light would never come. Bring the light into the darkness with love from within.

Give it voice and know that daybreak will be here soon.
