The conjunction between Mercury and Venus will be wonderful for new ideas and insights. But sometimes this conjunction can also supply additional tensions to the nervous system. However we can release this tension through connecting with the Earth.

She said: “Go for a walk outside and find somewhere green and natural.

“And if you cannot go outside then meditation can provide a similar solace.

“Either of these methods may help channel the potentially negative energy in a positive way.”

Mercury will also make a second aspect today – a semi-square with Neptune.
