There’s often a feeling of regret when Mercury forms a closing square to Uranus (February 24th). Chances are you’re wishing you knew then what you know now because if you did then you would never have made the choices you did. But getting a genie back into its bottle is as futile as closing the gate after the horse has gone. There’s no way a situation is going to revert to what it used to be which means that you have no choice but to move on. Acceptance may feel like cold comfort, but with acceptance comes insight and enlightenment. Mercury is a clever planet (it rules the mind after all) and now that it doesn’t have to waste time and energy mulling over what’s been lost, it’s free to assess what you have to work with and to come up with a whole new game plan. Mercury is its most inventive when it’s traveling through the zodiac sign of Aquarius.
