The planets are all loaded up on one side of the chart right now, which will have its ways of drawing certain elements of life to the forefront. Some things will be stable and can almost be left alone to run on autopilot, while others can turn into a source of stress and strain. It's important to note that with Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter all grouped up, there's going to be these underlying transformations occuring within people - these things have been going on for a while now, but this is a time where you might run into issues with them. Venus connects to the bunch as well, which lumps in the question of whether we're fulfilling our wants and needs.

This isn't the easiest energy to deal with, because often times the real problems we're facing here are those existential questions of purpose and our greater direction. You might have people asking themselves "Why are we even doing this?" much more often. And sometimes, there might not be a good answer. It's at those times where you need to say to yourself "Am I just moving straight ahead out of routine, rather than in the direction of some sort of goal?" If the answer to that is yes, then start looking to do things differently. With Mercury retro, it's a time to examine these paths and find the silly ways we've been doing things, acknowledge the lunacy in some of it, and make the necessary adjustments. We're all going to have unique answers to these questions, but the goal for everyone today is the same - find a path that takes you closer to the things you want to see happen. Best of luck.

Keeping things together is usually the way to roll, but right now the energy is pushing you towards cutting dead weight so you can operate more freely in the future. That might be some requirements you have to fully invest yourself in certain situations. It could also be the involvement of certain people who only serve to perpetually slow things down or submarine their efforts. A lot of the degree of difficulty you'll see here comes from an unwillingness to let things go. Try to keep the elements of your situations confined to things that will help.
