Mercury retrograde ends today! Mercury, the sign of communication, goes retrograde three to four times a year. When this happens, it asks us to reconsider and rethink our lives. This time around, it was retrograde in Libra, the sign of balance, justice, and relationships. Did you change your mind about some decision you made in the past? Did you reconnect with a friend? Today, the Moon's in Virgo, an analytical, down-to-earth sign. This is good news, because it will help inspire us to be realistic about our choices and actions now that Mercury is direct and allowing us to think more clearly about the present and future.
