Clarifying Communication as Mercury Turns Direct<\/h4>\n

After a three-week retrograde period<\/strong><\/a>, Mercury resumes direct motion on July 20, ushering in what should be smoother sailing. However, as the planet of communication remains in the sensitive sign of Cancer until August 8, tact is still of the utmost importance if you want to achieve your goals smoothly. How can you ensure success when it comes to what you say? Read on to find out!<\/p>\n

Be Honest, But be Kind<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the course of the retrograde, you\u2019re likely to have realized some things about yourself. These realizations may be pressing you to make changes and those changes may need to start with revealing yourself to a person or some people in your life. That\u2019s fantastic news! The catch is to temper how you share your revelations. It would be easy to spit out \u201cYou\u2019re driving me crazy and this isn\u2019t working.\u201d However, a measured approach will get you a lot further. There\u2019s no need to sugar coat your feelings.<\/strong><\/a> In fact, the only thing worse would be to remain saccharine and phony. Remember the old adage: You\u2019ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On that note, while you\u2019re being kind about your truth<\/strong><\/a>, remember to still\u2026<\/p>\n

Be Assertive, Not Passive Aggressive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing will annoy people more (particularly on the heels of three weeks of upheaval) than a nonsense, half-cocked approach. If you want or need something, say it. Ask nicely. Insist upon it even, but never, ever, drop not-so-subtle hints or worse, say nothing and inflict your anger on people who have no clue why you\u2019re mad! You can\u2019t expect people to read your mind or your signals. You have only your word to go on when it comes to getting what you need or want. Use it!<\/p>\n

“Communication is the key to confidence. \u00a0Know yourself, find your voice, speak up and be decisive.” \u2013\u00a0Psychic Deejay ext. 5435<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be Sensitive, But Not Emotional<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, while you\u2019ll want to take people\u2019s feelings into account (including your own) in making the transition back to Mercury Direct, you want to avoid coming off as unhinged or overly emotive. Be calm and concise when you express yourself, even if you have to practice all alone in the mirror first. It\u2019s easy to get riled up when you\u2019re discussing revelations or situations that require amending. Better that you say very little and stay focused (aware there will be another occasion to finish the conversation) than squeeze out everything you want to say so angrily or teary-eyed that no one can actually hear it. People hear tone as much as content when you communicate. Remember that now and always!<\/p>\n
