Mercury went retrograde last week in Virgo, aligning with the potent 8/8 Lion's Gate and a New Moon, which amplified the energy. Mercury is changing signs this week, entering Leo, which adds more drama to our lives. Right now, it's easier to lose our cool. 

When Mercury Retrograde moves into Leo, it brings back memories, exes and estranged friends, and long-forgotten dreams. 

This week's main event is the Mars and Jupiter conjunction, which happens early on the 14th. When Mars, the planet of motivation, action, and energy, and Jupiter, the planet that makes everything bigger, meet up in Gemini, we get fired up and feel a surge of go-getter energy.

A conjunction is when two planets are at the same spot in the zodiac, boosting each other’s energies.  In this case, Mars, the planet that encourages us to take initiative is meeting up with Jupiter, who inspires us to claim more out of life. This is one of the best energies for taking action and getting shit done. 

But with all this powerful energy there could be some delays and setbacks because also this week Mars and Jupiter are forming a square with Saturn. Squares often cause friction, obstacles, and the need to adjust our plan.

Mars and Jupiter ignite our passion and inspire us. Saturn's role is to ground this energy into something tangible, lasting, and fulfilling.

Even though it may seem like things are moving slowly at times, we are still making progress. Keep working hard and pushing forward. We’re making big long-lasting changes right now. Keep at it.
