Expect a lot of mental activity- Mercury is making moves this Monday! The planet of communication transitions into Taurus to begin the week, giving us the ability to slow our thoughts and reflect on our values. There’s a natural determination that comes along with this transit, especially today as Mercury squares Pluto at 0 degrees. This cosmic clash forces us to dig deep into our psyche and see what’s been hiding in the shadows. Obsession and manipulation are possible side effects, but there’s great potential to see a new perspective if we’re willing to tolerate the discomfort of truth.

Messenger Mercury makes a dramatic exit from Aries, forming a harsh 90º angle to Pluto, then a supportive angle to Lilith. If there was ever a time to watch your words, this is it. But when Mercury enters the grounded sign of Taurus for the next three weeks, we can expect a slower pace.
