Although everything might seem copacetic today, the devil is in the details as retrograde Mercury mischievously takes center stage. Concentration is elusive as the fidgety Gemini Moon dynamically squares boundless Jupiter. We’re tempted to talk about anything and everything, but even our good intentions can’t erase what we shouldn’t say at all. A stern Moon-Saturn opposition reminds us that instant karma will get us if we wander too far off course.
Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
Your spontaneity can work against you when you rush off to the next activity before you finish the current one. Fortunately, you understand the advantage of moving methodically today and you’re able to see a task through to the end. Nevertheless, your restlessness is still a problem if the pace falls behind your expectations. Demonstrate your maturity by accepting delays as part of the process. Personal satisfaction will be your reward if you stick with the job at hand, even if you would prefer to be doing something new.
Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)
You’re in touch with the strength of your own convictions today and are positive you can handle anything that might test your resolve. But feeling confident isn’t enough to guarantee your success; you must be willing to reconsider your basic assumptions even if it means going back to the drawing board. Restarting a project now allows you to build a more solid foundation that can support whatever comes next. Make your move before this window of opportunity closes or you may regret it later on.
Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
You might believe that it’s more efficient to limit interpersonal communication to the safe realms of rational thinking while steering clear of illogical emotions. However, it’s difficult to hide your feelings now that the moody Moon is back in your sign. But taking an objective approach won’t enable you to cleverly charm your way around the hot spots in your path. Slow down and review a full range of alternative strategies before choosing a course of action. Ask your heart to point you in the right direction.
Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)
You are silly one moment yet serious the next as you remember some of the profound emotional transitions you’ve experienced over the last few years. You’re finally ready to move on, but still may be overly sensitive to your past if there are leftover feelings weighing heavily on your heart. Revisiting childhood memories unlocks the key to resolving an old issue. Reframing your own history in a healthier light frees you to do something brilliant in the present moment.
Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
Interpersonal interactions could run into a few unexpected snags today. A recent disappointment might seem like a big deal, but Mercury retrograde in your 10th House of Public Life tells a slightly different story. You are being given time to review the details that led to the present predicament and to examine how the blockages are symbolic of your own feelings now. Awareness is power; once you fully understand your role in creating the current drama you can steadily push on through to the other side.
Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
It seems as if the public spotlight has found you now, but you might prefer to hide from view, anyhow. You’re more likely to withdraw socially in order to manage your new responsibilities. If control issues are part of your problem you may try to proceed as a solo act, but your ambitious strategy could backfire today. Acknowledge that you need to be a part of a larger group, tribe or family. You don’t have to do everything on your own; a sense of community is integral to your success.
Libra (September 23rd – October 21st)
You take your philosophy of life quite seriously now and may need to make choices that put you in an emotionally vulnerable position. Although there are many beautiful people in your life, you might wish that they would join you on your spiritual quest. However, there’s nothing wrong with having lots of acquaintances as long as you don’t let your fears stand in the way of transforming a casual relationship into something more meaningful. Live by the Golden Rule and be the kind of friend you wish you had.
Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)
You don’t know whether to tell someone how you feel or let your concerns pass without saying anything at all. It’s useful to examine what your past patterns have to do with your current eagerness to help others — even if they haven’t asked for it. Compassion is a lovely gift, but codependency is not a viable path to happiness. Your job isn’t to fix anyone else; just work on being the best possible version of you.
Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)
Stand up and spread your wings; it’s time to claim your power. However, if you find yourself entangled in an unexpected struggle for control now, step back and take responsibility only for what is yours. You don’t have to win an argument today because the price can be too great. Turn a challenge into an opportunity to learn something about yourself as you handle the resistance with courage and grace.
Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)
The weekend brings relaxation for many people, but not so much for you ambitious Goats. You are buzzing like a worker bee with the Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Service. There are just too many separate things that demand your attention around the hive today. It might even feel like a day of judgment and, of course, you want it called in your favor. Apply yourself diligently but avoid self-criticism. Continue to work as hard as possible while remembering that you’re in it for the long haul.
Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)
It might appear as if your relationship life is improving, but you’re still fearful of losing control and crashing into a wall. Try not to doubt your ability to succeed if you must clean up a mess that originated from a simple miscommunication. An unnecessary conflict with a loved one can gobble up valuable time if you take it as a sign of defeat. But you should be able to accomplish whatever is necessary once you realize that the current events are clues about the work you have yet to do when it comes to love
Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)
This weekend is optimal for cooling off your emotions and reevaluating what you want from your closest relationships. You may be more analytical than usual now and less emotionally attached to the outcome. It’s not that you are ready to throw in the towel; it’s just that you’re able to see the futility of trying to change someone else’s feelings. The only thing you can control is the honesty of your own response which, hopefully, inspires others to follow your example.
