Your essential guide to the week ahead from Citizen Femme’s resident astrologer, Zana Wilberforce.
Mercury retrograde finally comes to an end this week, though a ‘shadow period’ will linger until 7 July. Think of the shadow period as the ‘dregs’ of Mercury’s three-week planetary backspin, causing typical retrograde delays and tech mishaps. A full moon in Capricorn on 24 June is all about embracing back-to-nature weekends and harnessing Capricorn’s admirable wisdom.
