Wednesday is governed by Mercury. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal.

Current Outlook

• Lunar position ~ 1st Hs/Cancer – career or profession may change during this time and self-nurturing or nurturing from others may be necessary.

• Elemental Influence ~ Earth and Water energies provide the strongest influence suggesting flexibility in routine; however; with Fire and Air so weak, motivation and objectivity may suffer.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Fixed energies are increasing so when we initiate something, follow-through may be easier
