If you’re inclined toward people-pleasing, you might take a step back and ask what you want rather than what someone else wants. This includes being cautious of trying to impress anyone or show them that you’re of some value in order to get their approval. You’re currently under bold influences that are guiding you to stand your ground and claim your own ideas and way of life.
Aspects by Mercury may be describing the importance of truth, which in our times is being somewhat challenged. Stoke your passion for truth today. Watch your communications — and those of others — and make a point of fostering your skeptical sense. If you find yourself tempted to conceal or obfuscate anything, consider your reasons.
It may seem that one particular individual has the power to come at you with great force while stirring up a frightening inner tempest that leaves you wide open to their unwholesome designs or manipulations. And for you who so value keeping at least a loose grip on your reality, this could be very disconcerting.
The line where feeling meets fact is probably not agreed upon by many at a time. Some suggest we should treat anything not strictly evidence-based with deep suspicion. A certain amount of skepticism is healthy. Yet there is more to instincts and feelings than meets the eye, especially in day-to-day existence.
It is possible that what you write today could have significant emotional impact. Indeed, it might seem to equalize a field that might otherwise be difficult to be heard amongst. Retrograde Mercury in Aries today squares Varuna in Cancer. Mercury’s inward-looking or backward-looking influence could mean that the impact your words have is primarily on yourself.
