Confusion is possible when Mercury squares Neptune. With Neptune slowing down and preparing to station retrograde next week, it could feel like a fog is just starting to creep in. This cloudy clash between the planet of communication and the planet of dreams makes for blurry boundaries and misunderstandings. Introspection is favored now. We can also be deceived under this transit- avoid negotiations or important decision making.

Confusion is likely as messenger Mercury makes a tense 90º square to Neptune at the very end of its four-month retrograde, forcing us to do a final review of our beliefs and thought processes. At the same time, a supportive connection between Venus and Saturn helps us lean into the lessons we’ve been learning about relationships and finances. The first quarter moon in Pisces emphasizes the cloudy energy to start the day. But we can sense the sunshine through the fog as the moon meets up with optimistic Jupiter this evening. Hope is our superpower today.

Fact over fiction. We are focused on serious thoughts and practical matters as Mercury and Saturn connect on Saturday morning. But by the afternoon, Neptune joins the mix too, bringing doubt and confusion. With both Saturn and Neptune retrograde, we could find ourselves questioning what’s real. The Leo moon makes our emotions feel grand.
