The area where Mercury retrograde is likely to affect you the most is within your friendships. There may be drama. There may be criticism. There may even be temper tantrums. From Monday, the energy is, well, wonky. Nevertheless, this gives you a very valuable opportunity to reflect on your connections. Are they really serving you? Do things need to be said? Do you need to gain some closure on a past connection? Try not to make any major decisions right away. Take some time. After about three weeks, everything will be much clearer. Wednesday gives you the perfect opportunity to speak what’s in your heart.
