At 03:41 AM: Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius
In the pre-dawn hours, Mercury stations retrograde in Aquarius, beginning its first backwards trek of the year. An Aquarian spin on Mercury retrograde communication gaffes can mean that attempting to explain ourselves feels a bit like speaking in wingdings. Be especially mindful of the potential for technological snafus or crashes to outdated software. You might accidentally delete that e-mail, or worse, send it to someone it was not intended for! Naturally, misunderstandings show us how to be more intentional with the words we use, especially digitally. The tone is difficult to convey over text. Inappropriate humor may hit a sore spot for someone whose lived experiences are different from your own. The key to navigating this time is to listen to others instead of talking to hear our own voices.

At 01:21 PM: Ceres stations direct
In the early afternoon, Ceres stations direct in Taurus, having been in retrograde motion since October 8. The pitfalls of Ceres in Taurus lie in over-nurturing those who we care about. Undue protection can actually paralyze their development and rob them of their agency. Care is a complicated idea, and it means different things to different people. During Ceres’ retrograde cycle, we were encouraged to evaluate the help we are providing. Now that Ceres is direct, our bonded relationships flow easier. We can offer support without being heavy-handed out of a fear that if others are self-sufficient, they will not need us anymore. This allows us to really be there for others when it counts.
