People are stressed with their work and families. The media conspires to keep us ginned up as much as possible, over things we can't do anything about. It's not good for us, but stress sells!
Gemini and Virgo continue to be impacted by Neptune in Pisces. This clash creates a lot of mental anxiety. It's like a cloud that comes upon you.
Mercury will turn retrograde later this month. You'd think this would make things worse, but I don't think that will be the case if you're aware of what's happening. I can't recall ever looking forward to a Mercury retrograde period, but this one is unique. It presents an opportunity to change your life by changing your thinking.
That may sound like some kind of platitude - it is not! Let's say you have a default way of thinking about something. A mental trigger. If you remove that trip wire, it will no longer be there to trip you up!
