Creative writing, music, art, and any form of imaginative expression are strongly favored. Meditation and spiritual contemplation also benefit from this dissolving mental energy.

This transit lasts about 1 to 2 days. If Mercury is retrograde, this conjunction can recur over several weeks, extending a period of mental fogginess and heightened imagination.

If something sounds too good to be true in a conversation, it probably is. Trust your intuition for creative matters but verify all facts.
