Mercury Opposes Your Sun: Say Less, Notice More

Mercury in Taurus sits directly across from the late degrees of Scorpio today, which means the gap between what you say and what someone hears is wider than usual. Not because you're unclear—because the other person is filtering through their own fixed lens.

This isn't the day to convince anyone of anything. It's the day to watch how quickly a conversation becomes two people talking past each other.

You might notice yourself repeating the same point three different ways, or hearing "I didn't say that" when you're certain you did. The opposition asks for distance, not volume.

Worth trying: write the text, then wait two hours before sending it. Not every thought needs to become a conversation today, and some of them will resolve themselves if you let the pressure drop first.

Today's mood: cautious
