There’s a lot of conflicting energy surrounding you. Communication is vital in trying to solve problems. However, during a retrograde, misunderstandings can arise even with the best intentions to convey clarity. If you feel it can’t wait, proceed with caution. If you still can’t find a mutual resolution, try again after Mercury retrograde ends.

Gemini: Free Your Mind
Nine of Swords
Stress and anxiety abound when the Nine of Swords rears its ugly head—sleepless nights or overthinking worst-case scenarios. This is not the time to fall into a mental Mercury retrograde rabbit hole. Instead, restore yourself through meditation, exercise, or hobbies. Wait until things calm down before addressing the situations weighing heavy on your mind.
