Mercury is still retrograde, and still fouling up communication, as you might have noticed. Today, there's some other stuff going on, and knowing about it might help you get through it with less stress and trauma.

The quincunx aspect, 150 degrees, is considered a "minor" one, but can be challenging, tending to throw us off-course. Today's Sun in Gemini quincunx Jupiter in Capricorn could have us wasting energy or misdirecting our efforts, and Sun quintile (72 degrees) Saturn can help us get back on task to finish the job. Take interruptions in stride.

The asteroid Ceres is opposite Pluto, and the asteroid Juno is opposite Venus today. These aspects can shake things up in families or domestic relations. Maybe things needed to be shaken up. Make it a learning experience. Moon in Libra all day helps us smooth over the rough spots, and Ceres in Cancer brings out nurturing instincts.

Chiron trined Venus last night and trines the Sun today, in air signs, energizing healing and helping us sort out some of the confusion from Mercury retrograde.

Tonight, Venus in Gemini square Uranus in Pisces can disrupt close relationships and put stress on partnerships. Try to stay calm and be kind
