While Mercury is conjunct Pluto, which dredges up one’s deep hopes and fears, in combination with the Moon being sextile Mercury, these reveries are impacted by Mars being square Mercury, which tends to provoke one into expending a great deal of effort in achieving no definitive resolution. It’s best to not expect one to present itself today. Magically, a day for banishings rather than attempting toto anything proactive.
