Take time to weigh your options

By Cassandra Tyndall

Just when you thought nothing more could shock or surprise you, this week will continue to add turbulence and confusion. The first of three links between communication planet, Mercury and radical Uranus happens on Wednesday.

This initial confrontation may unearth something hidden or toxic, highlighting the need for change. Whether it’s news from the White House or it happens in your personal life, this planetary action will be in play until November 17.

It will require a deep dive into what has become stuck or stagnant, demanding an alternative perspective. By contemplating a situation beyond your own standpoint, you offer yourself the chance to consider the “what ifs” in your life.

Often, when things change, the best thing to do is change everything. However, with Mercury on the go-slow in preparation for a retrograde, or reverse, phase next week, you’re better off researching available options for now.

By the weekend, if you’re feeling energetically spent, you may need to consider where you’re over-stretching yourself. Generosity is wonderful. However if you’ve taken on too much or your efforts aren’t being reciprocated, readjusting the scales of balance will be necessary. It may get a little tense, but it will be worth it in the end.
