If you’re into astrology, you’ll know that your ruler Mercury is retrograde, or in reverse movement, until the 22nd. While this triggers confusion, often what’s learnt in the process of untangling those issues more than justifies the effort required. The challenge? Being patient enough to allow answers to surface when they must.
