Hey everyone! I’m running a bit late today—thank you for your patience. It’s been one of those Mercury retrograde mornings with a few unexpected hiccups along the way (classic Mercury, right?).
Today’s cosmic energy asks us to slow down, stay flexible, and focus on what truly matters. Mercury retrograde may stir up delays and communication challenges, but the Capricorn Moon provides grounding energy, encouraging steady progress—even if things feel a little chaotic.
As you navigate the day, remember that no matter what’s happening around you, your worth isn’t determined by other people’s actions or opinions. You are special, important, and capable of handling whatever comes your way. Let today be a reminder to lean into your confidence and practice self-love—you’ve got this!
Let’s dive into what the stars have in store for each zodiac and find some helpful tips to navigate the day with clarity, patience, and positivity.
