Mercury’s retrograde is never exactly smooth but on top of that there is the huge swing of energy between Venus and Neptune being blissed out in your sign on the 3rd followed by Mars and Saturn meeting  on the 10th which takes you to a reality check then another  dreamland union between Mars and Neptune on the 29th.   So hold as steady as possible even though the currents are swirling.  Change is in the air and you need to be fluid enough to handle what comes up in the moment whilst recognising some opportunities are of the once in a life-time variety.
