Mercury is retrograde. The Moon is in Virgo. Your flighty twin has been hijacked by your quieter, more-grounded one.

The one place you aren’t being resisted is in your love of the exotic, the unorthodox and the different. Go there.

Stay loose and relaxed. Don’t hook into ideas that are rigid or fixed. Celebration is your nature. Give it room to move.
