As sure as the Sun rises each morn, a fresh Mercury retrograde period will eventually come ’round again. And ladies and gentlemen, here it is. Can you say déjà vu all over again? Unresolved issues resurface for a second shot, and old flames come out of the woodworks. Life takes on a slightly surreal tone, forcing you to get your bearings in even the most familiar terrain. It’s like a three-week long version of Groundhog Day.
But you know, we’re given second chances whenever the Cosmic Trickster does his backstroke. Is there someone you long to re-establish a connection with? Provided you come with an open heart and a minimal ego, this may be the time. Easier said than done, mind you. After all, Mercury has chosen identity-conscious Aries for his long look back. While this is necessarily a time to consider your personality and how you come across, the idea is to go further and see yourself as part of an eternal continuum. If you’re convinced that you and an ex have a shot at working things out, proceed gently and honestly.
Meanwhile, Venus has teamed up with Chiron and Pluto to give all flagging relationships the equivalent of a spa retreat. But you can’t just sit there and wish upon a star. Though the cosmic energy is available, you’ve got to work it, not wait for it to work you. Now, get with the one you love and remember all the reasons you were drawn to them in the first place!
