Wednesday is governed by Mercury. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal.

Current Outlook

• Sign ~ Capricorn (strong, responsible, conscientious, practical, can be overly rigid); Pisces (Compassionate, intuitive, impractical, overly-sensitive, easily led)
• Elemental Influence ~ strong Earth energies foster efficiency and practicality today; however, with Fire weak, we may also experience a lack of motivation.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ although Earth energies are strong, it doesn’t follow that Fixed (stable) energies are the same. In fact, it seems to align more with Fire issues and the ability to follow through
