Retrograde Mercury comes together with Mars in the sign of Pisces today, and thankfully this is a more sensitive and passive energy. There will still be those who lash out, restless and irritable, willing to do battle with anyone who crosses their path. Being aware, especially of those who appear to love conflict, can help you to avoid any unnecessary fights. You do not need to attend every skirmish to which you are invited. You will be thankful you walked away and did not engage, for you will come out the winner in the end.

The 5 of Swords is a card of winning at all costs, not engaging in the battle, it is lonely at the top. Before throwing your hat in the ring, ask yourself if the outcome is worth the expense. For earliest possible access to my Tarot Card of the Day, download the free PodBean app from your AppStore, or follow me across your favorite podcast platforms.
