Mercury retrograde brings misunderstanding and chaos
Star signs impacted the most: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius can be better listeners.
The second Mercury retrograde of the year has begun. From now through late June, build in extra time, money, and attention to your plans. People can drop the ball and misunderstandings can happen, so creating some wiggle room will cut down on chaos. During this time, you can also gain fresh insights by reflecting on events in the recent past.
Time with family and community gives a sense of purpose
Star signs impacted the most: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces can have more fun.
Positive vibes flow midweek with Jupiter and Neptune making easy contact with other planets in water signs. Family time especially could be very harmonious. Community service could give you a higher sense of purpose. The Universe is supporting our efforts to give concrete form to what we imagine.

Avoid bottling up competitive impulses
Star signs impacted the most: Aries and Libra should focus on their strengths.
By the weekend, the energies of the warrior planet Mars and fearful Pluto oppose each other. The mood may become more intense or turn darker. We can find ourselves easily threatened by challenges. Try to honour any competitive impulses that come up without letting them get out of control or bottling it up.
