Mercury retrograde ends at 12:25 AM! Finally, miscommunications and delays will begin to clear up and things start to move forward. Jupiter and Neptune connect at 3:48 AM, inspiring creativity, boosting our intuition, and helping us manifest our biggest dreams. The Moon in Sagittarius connects with chatty Mercury at 11:13 AM and with sweet Venus at 1:13 PM, creating an easygoing and social afternoon—but watch out for a bit of post-retrograde confusion with Mercury as it clashes with the planet of fantasy, Neptune, at 7:13 PM.
