SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

As Mercury stations retrograde, it’s time to preempt future misunderstandings by opening the door to dialogue. You might not untangle all crossed lines but, just by trying to bridge the gap, you’ll build trust and rapport with your person. Whether it’s an offhand remark or your expired casseroles in the fridge, you won’t know what’s bothering your friend or true blue until you hash it out. As ever, jokes and ample self-compassion will ease this process. By naming the elephant in the room, you’ll avoid a stampede later.
