With Mercury in Virgo, this week intensifies your communication style. You may find yourself engaging in deep conversations about trust, intimacy, and joint finances. This is a favorable time for negotiation, research, and expressing your needs and boundaries in close relationships. Be honest with your shadow side. If you’ve been repressing painful memories or vulnerable experiences, release them through words. Speak your mind! Find an outlet for your thoughts. Because Mercury begins its retrograde journey soon, be mindful of excessive self-criticism or overthinking. When it comes to deep-seated thought patterns, it’s important to distinguish logic from anxiety. Remember: discovering the root of your problem isn’t the same as actually feeling your feelings.
