## Resource

Some things to avoid during this Mercury retrograde: don't make major commitments based solely on enthusiasm, don't assume everyone shares your truth, don't use honesty as an excuse for unkindness, don't force conversations before processing emotions, don't resist necessary endings, and don't rush the integration process. Do you trust the process? Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways: Avoid major commitments driven by pure enthusiasm and resist forcing conversations before emotions have been properly processed. Honesty shouldn't become an excuse for unkindness — and necessary endings shouldn't be resisted or rushed through.
