It's an awkward moment when you realize that a friend has been truer to your friendship than you have. For weeks you thought this person didn't care, was being amazingly self-absorbed, or just plain negligent. In truth, she didn't know how to help you with your personal struggles, and after being rebuffed numerous times, decided to give you your space and wait for you to seek her out. Thankfully, Mercury comes out of retrograde on August 28th. This about-face in direction allows you to see how good she's been, and instead of feeling embarrassed, it might be a good idea to give her a hug.
