It's not every day that Mercury and Venus come out of retrograde at the same time (November 13th). Both planets play an important role in the way that people get along. For example, Jupiter, planet of goodwill, can have the best of intentions in mind, but it's the faster-moving planets like Mercury and Venus who translate those ideas into our day-to-day lives through conversation, humor, and a genuine curiosity about the way other people think and feel. There are no dictums with Mercury and Venus, just sitting down one-on-one and sharing things in confidence that would never be talked about in a group. The end result is people finding their way back to each other after weeks of discord and rancor. Mercury, the pathfinder, can help antagonists to walk back their ultimatums while Venus, ever the diplomat, can show them how to do this while saving face. Admittedly, there will still be spoilers who want their pound of flesh, but chances are they'll only look like sore losers crying over their sour grapes now that Mercury and Venus are moving forward in the sky again.
