With Mercury’s direct motion, the celestial pathways open anew, inviting us to stride with renewed confidence as the cosmic airways clear and the channels of expression flow unobstructed.

Nevertheless, this juncture offers an exceptional opportunity for enriching our knowledge and insight. Simultaneously, it serves as a moment of release, allowing us to shed outdated notions that have proven unfruitful and to formulate fresh strategies for the path ahead.
