The romantic static that’s been clouding your fifth house finally clears today as Mercury emerges from the retrograde that’s been stirring things up since June 29. A ghost from your past may have resurfaced at the worst possible moment, or someone you care about has felt frustratingly out of reach. People in general have been getting under your skin in ways you didn’t expect. With Mercury back on course, the path to repair—or a clean slate with someone more worth your time—opens back up. A healthier, more grounded chapter in your love life is closer than it’s been in weeks.
