**[Sky]** The Sun and Mercury retrograde both sit in your 11th house this Wednesday — the realm of friends, collective work, and the dreams you hold for the long arc. Conversations circle back, old collaborators reappear in the group chat, and a plan you thought was settled may ask for one more revision. Mars in your 10th keeps the professional engine warm, but with Mercury backstepping, the day rewards the editor more than the announcer. Review the proposal. Reread the contract. Let the group text breathe before you reply. The Moon in Aries moves through your 8th — shared money, intimacy, what you owe and are owed — so a financial detail or an emotional reckoning may surface by midday. Name it plainly; don't let it fester in the margins. **[Growth edge]** Venus and Jupiter both rest in Leo in your 12th house — the hidden room, the place of solitude and the dreams that don't yet have language. This is not a day for performance. The richest work happens offstage: the journal entry, the walk without your phone, the conversation with yourself that no one else needs to hear. Saturn and Neptune in your 8th ask you to hold the tension between what you're building with others and what you must release to build it cleanly. If a boundary needs stating around money or emotional labor, state it. The ancestors remind us: clarity is kindness, even when it costs comfort. **[Practice]** Before bed, pour a small glass of water and set it on the sill. Speak one thing you're ready to let go of — a resentment, a pattern, a debt you've carried too long. Let the water hold it overnight.
