Sun conjunct Mercury

You may be surprised to discover that someone has been working very hard to contact you. Indeed this person has gone out of his or her way to return a lost object, get you a refund, or impart an important piece of information that others were trying to conceal from you. It’s remarkable that someone you don’t know would have sacrificed so much. Call it principle. Call it duty. Or maybe it’s just the simple fact that after weeks of running behind, Mercury – planet of communication – has finally caught up to the Sun. In any case it’s nice to know that people still care about others’ welfare and about doing the right thing. It’s something to keep in mind when you find yourself charged with a similar errand one day. Signs most affected: Gemini, Leo, Virgo, and Aquarius
