Today at 08:21 PT, Mercury forms a conjunction with Neptune, creating a beautiful cosmic alignment that enhances our intuition and spiritual connection. During this transit, the practical mind (Mercury) merges with the dreamy, intuitive energy of Neptune, making it easier to tap into your subconscious, access your imagination, and connect with your deepest intuition. It's a perfect day for meditation, journaling, creative writing, or any activity that helps you connect with your inner wisdom.

With this powerful Mercury-Neptune conjunction happening today, it's actually the perfect time to dive into your birth chart. The heightened intuitive energy helps you see patterns and connections you might normally miss, allowing for deeper insights into your astrological blueprint. Plus, Mercury rules communication and analysis, so combined with Neptune's spiritual awareness, you can truly understand the cosmic forces that have shaped your journey and what they reveal about your authentic path forward.

You know, I've been thinking a lot lately about how most of my unmarried friends seem to be on this perpetual quest to find "the one." I've been there too, on and off throughout my life. But now, as a divorced woman, I sometimes find myself just... giving up on that search. Maybe it's because I'm still carrying wounds from when things didn't work out as I expected. That example of what I thought was real love didn't last as long as I wanted it to, and that's left its mark.

But there's something else I've been realizing , the truth that keeps revealing itself to me is that the person we're actually spending our entire lives with isn't family, friends, or partners: it's ourselves. We wake up with ourselves, go to sleep with ourselves, and experience every moment of our lives through our own consciousness. Yet somehow, we often put the least effort into nurturing that relationship.

In order to truly choose ourselves, we need to build ourselves: our confidence, our boundaries, our self-compassion, our interests, our dreams. We need to become the kind of person we'd want to spend forever with. That means treating ourselves with the same kindness, patience, and forgiveness we'd offer a beloved partner. It means celebrating our achievements and comforting ourselves in our failures. It means becoming our own best friend.

This Mercury-Neptune conjunction seems perfectly timed to inspire this kind of self-connection. As Mercury helps us articulate our thoughts and Neptune dissolves the boundaries between our conscious and subconscious minds, we're invited to see ourselves more clearly and love ourselves more completely.

The transit reminds us that true connection – whether with others or with ourselves – begins with honesty, compassion, and the courage to see beyond illusions to what is real and lasting. Maybe the greatest love story isn't one we find outside ourselves, but the one we cultivate within.
