This week invites you to slow down before you move forward. Neptune begins its five-month retrograde, asking you to separate intuition from illusion, while Mercury Retrograde reaches its powerful Inferior Conjunction, bringing fresh insights and a chance to rewrite the story you've been telling yourself.

Join me as we unpack the astrology, the psychology behind the transits, and the practical ways you can work with this week's energy.
