It’s also a time for reflection and reviewing past situations, say astrologers.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Sign: Leo.
General Impact: Expect potential delays, miscommunications, and technological glitches.

Why I Quote the Google AI
I do not write articles with AI (As I state up above in the header). I do do a lot of research online – often using Google. Their new search results often start out with a “Google AI” description ahead of the usual search.
I THINK THEY ARE FUNNY.
Remember, AI = Artificial Intelligence. Their answers are aggregated from multiple sources to come up with an answers. They ALSO take into account the source of search. SO it is gleaning information from previous searched I have made (I do not hide a lot of my search practices behind a security wall of any kind).
In this case, we see the bias built into the Google AI. Mercury Retrograde is part of Astrology. They reference, of all sources, Cosmopolitan.
Astrology gets no respect – even from AI. Maybe I have so teaching to do!
