Hey astrology nerds! Are you ready to talk moon signs? While your sun sign (aka your regular zodiac sign you’re probably most familiar with) indicates more or less who you are and how you function in the world, the moon sign is the second most important part of your zodiac chart. It describes how you feel and how you navigate your emotional life. The sun sign is your outer world, the moon sign is your inner world. Furthermore, a moon sign takes around 2-3 days to change, so while you may be an Aries, it makes a difference what day you were born and at what time because you’re likely to have a different moon sign than someone born a week after you. Get it? Good!
Well, there’s no better way to test your emotional inner life by putting you through some seriously hellish Mercury in retrograde! Don’t know what that is? It’s when Mercury appears as if it’s moving backwards in it’s orbit, away from the Earth. It controls all things communication and when it’s out of wack, it can seriously mess up your life. Think you can handle it? Let’s get going!

Yes! It’s a legitimate excuse, it’s basically science.
