> STARS:

The lines of communication are still open, making the day a great time for following up on important emails, messages and paperwork. Of course, as Mercury is still retrograde and stirring up confusion, mistakes and misunderstandings, we’ll want to make sure we take the extra time to dot our i’s and cross our t’s. Presentations and meetings also can be successful if we give more attention to planning and preparation. Meanwhile, with the start of the weekend kicking off come later this evening, the mood is just right for winding down and relaxing or getting into something fun.
