Communication is extremely important. Not just the willingness and ability TO communicate but the HOW you communicate. It isn’t just about whether you are heard. It is in the tone with which you speak. Tone, even indirectly, speaks to an intent and it is the intent that people ‘hear’. People 'hear' the dismissive or minimizing tones.
During this Mercury Retrograde cycle, be mindful of your tone. It can be a trigger to those on the receiving end. While tempers tend to flare there IS a gift in all of this. It offers the receiver an opportunity to REview, REvisit and REconsider old wounds–and an opportunity to heal them.
There is always a positive if one can move through their knee-jerk reactions.
