If the Mercury retrograde has made it difficult to work with others, today provides us with an opportunity to get on the same page. The current cosmic weather supports teamwork, negotiations and compromise. The Mercury retrograde can be especially useful for revisiting discussions and clearing up confusion. However, because of the retrograde, progress will most likely move at a snail’s pace, so we should be mindful of expecting a quick turnaround or immediate results.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
You’re outspoken and self-assured. If there’s a problem or conflict, you address it head-on. While you prefer to take the lead and run the show thanks to your iron will and enterprising spirit, be mindful of commandeering projects and refusing help from others. You’re a star, but making space for others to shine won’t steal your glow; it can actually make it brighter. In a sea of overly self-involved people, you can stand out by being the exception. This year, prioritize connection and camaraderie over a “lone wolf” mindset.
