Most people believe that life teaches us lessons but how many of us learn how to use them? Few planetary transits are as mind opening as a Mercury/Jupiter sextile. It’s probably because both planets are driven by curiosity and a sense of wonder along with a love of play and experimentation. You’re less likely to get down on yourself for not having known better and more into understanding recent experiences in terms of how they help you to grow as a person. Stick with the old mindset and you’ll just be parroting back answers; embrace the spirit of exploration and you’ll be deciphering the moral to the tale and acquiring the wisdom that goes along with it. Signs most affected: Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces.
