In case you were asleep, we entered the shadow period on November 7 and already up to our eyeballs in messy human business.

Expect Loving Changes as Messenger Mercury stations (appears to change direction) and prepares to retrace his path over the same territory he crossed in these past three weeks. Station occurs May 14, 2023 at 8:16 PM PDT.
