Mercury sextile Jupiter: A Helpful Boost

We are greeted today by a helpful astrological aspect: Mercury in Libra becomes sextile Jupiter in Leo. While normally this aspect, although short in duration, would be extremely beneficial in nature, yet with Mercury still in retrograde, we might consider a day like today a bit differently. Mercury is the planet of communication and Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so you could feel a boost of optimism and confidence; yet because of Mercury being in retrograde motion (as it will be until the 25th) there could also be a certain degree of challenge in communicating your enthusiastic ideas, or in really putting them into motion. Your excitement and vigor might best be utilized right now to create order, balance, and renewed perspective for any existing plans or projects you may have. Overall this is a beneficial aspect, and could be just the dose of 'yay!' needed for any given Monday.
