battles are worth fighting and where to conserve strength. Mercury retrograde asks for patience, but

or decisions. The lunar eclipse on the 3rd may highlight career shifts, and your natural boldness
allows you to face change without hesitation. Venus entering your sign on the 6th adds charm and
ease, helping you assert yourself gracefully.
