Actions will truly speak louder than words over the next 3 1/2 weeks as we experience our first Mercury Retrograde of 2024...here we go again! Typically, Mercury Retrogrades are designated periods of ‘pause and reflection’ in order for us to reframe our style of communication and ideation. However, this one will have a greater significance than the ones we’re used to, as it’ll start at the exact mid-point of our Eclipse Season.
