Mercury is racing ahead of the Sun, about to go retrograde, and this is going to impact our communications with others. It's one of those periods where making sure all your facts and details are ironed out, and to make sure that everyone you're dealing with is on the same page. If you leave things up to assumptions, things have a way of coming back and biting you in the ass. So even if you have to be mildly annoying, press people for definite answers and make sure you know what's going on around you.

At the same time, Venus conflicts with the Node today, and this is the sort of thing that can cause a bit of conflict between our needs and the path we've set out to come across them. In many ways, it's kind of like "wishing from afar". Having all the hopes in the world only gets you so far when you need everything to magically line up in the cosmos for you. So use today's events as a reminder that you actually have to take actions that might get you closer to the goals you've set for yourself. If your path isn't one taking you towards those goals, you have to alter course and do something different. This might be uncomfortable, and you might totally be melodramatic about it throughout the process, but as long as your actions directly influence something about achieving your goals, you're going to be way better off. The rest of the energy isn't too rough to deal with right now, so bear down and focus on getting the things you need. Best of luck.

The lust for knowledge can be strong within you today, but it's easy to get lost in how far you have to go to get to the level you want to be at. Every journey begins with a single step as they say, and you'd be wise to look towards taking yours towards some of the goals you've set. A huge obstacle you might face mentally is that you are undeserving of pursuing certain goals, or that others might be more entitled to something than you are. You have to dismiss those concerns and try to push ahead - you have a right to chase what makes you happy.
