Mercury is currently retrograde - this shadow period runs through July 23rd (24 days remaining). Communication, intellect, and awareness are all within Mercury's domain, as are logic and reasoning, our manner of thinking, and how we create and express our thought processes. Remain flexible, allow extra time for travel, and avoid signing contracts until Mercury is direct again.
