Cosmic Gossip Column
Listen up, star children!
With Mercury doing its backspin in Cancer, we're all in our feelings and craving some alone time.
The Hermit card is serving us major 'I need space' vibes this week, and who can blame us? Between the Sun and Moon throwing shade at each other and Venus and Jupiter having a cosmic party in Gemini, it's like the universe is saying, 'Take a break, fam.'
Cosmic Hot Take #1: Mercury said what it said, and it's telling us to slow down and reflect. It's like that scene in every rom-com where the main character has a revelation while staring out a window. Time to channel our inner Hermit and embrace the solitude.
Cosmic Hot Take #2: Venus is serving main character energy with Jupiter, making us all want to indulge in some self-care and maybe a little retail therapy. But with Mars opposite Saturn, it's like trying to plan a spa day during a traffic jam. Patience, my friends.
Cosmic Hot Take #3: The Moon in Aquarius is giving us all the 'I'm not like other girls' energy, but with a twist of deep reflection. It's like that meme of the girl in the hoodie staring into the distance. Embrace your uniqueness, but don't forget to look within.
This week's celestial drama is giving us all the feels, but remember, it's okay to step back and recharge. The Hermit is our guide, reminding us that wisdom comes from within.
Weekend Vibe Check: Embrace your inner Hermit and find peace in solitude.
