Mercury will make a conjunction to Saturn today and if you’re a Gemini or a Virgo, you may be feeling a pressure to figure things out, make a commitment, and get clarity. Mercury is communication, movement, thinking, and learning. The mind is focused, sharp. Even if you’re neither of these signs, Saturn makes us feel a boundary. It’s a left or a right; we can’t keep going straight.

But for all of Saturn’s black and white thinking, Mercury will run up against Neptune tomorrow. What are we open to? Where can we be more compassionate? How can our thoughts and our words connect with people on a heart level? Additionally, if Saturn is a heavy dose of reality, Neptune is illusion. What is real? What can we believe?

We’re in an interesting week astrologically. We’ll have a Gemini Full Moon tomorrow at 3 degrees and this one will oppose Saturn and square Neptune. We have some major things to figure out and commit to — things that must be in alignment with our hearts, our souls, and our higher good. More on that tomorrow.
