It’s a happy Monday in a lot of ways, because today, your daily horoscope delivers one of the big-ticket items you’ve wanted since March. Mercury retrograde officially ends at 7:08 am ET, when the messenger planet finally stations direct. Mercury is in charge of our technology, travel, and communication, and since it first stationed retrograde March 15, things have been a bit bonkers on all these fronts. If you’ve been dealing with dropped calls, misunderstood texts, and frustrating scheduling snafus, everything should get a lot better, starting now. But over the next few days, we’re feeling what astrologers call the “planetary bump”—the days around the direct station are sometimes particularly jarring. Take care to go slow, be mindful of your surroundings, and recalibrate without pushing too hard, too fast. The closing shadow of this retrograde ends on April 26, so any loose ends should be tied up in a pretty bow by then.
