Mercury moves into Cancer, squaring Uranus and triggering all sorts of outbursts, mostly tempests in teapots, but Jupiter softens the square, offering practical wisdom that might be gleaned from those brainstorms and arguments. Mercury will also aspect Neptune and Pluto, drawing ideas and conversations to bizarre extremes; deep and inspiring perhaps, but be pragmatic!
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Bold moves can prove extremely profitable, but keep your eyes forward. The difference between "bold" and reckless is the difference between success and disaster. Even your best instincts should be double-checked when possible.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Loquacious urges can reveal much more than you intended. That could be advantageous, relieving the pressure of needless secrets. For those you do need to keep quiet, have a chat with someone you trust.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): In financial matters, family is more reliable than friends. Evaluate advice without giving away what you actually plan to do, unless you're consulting an expert. Listen to your partner's opinion respectfully, whether or not you agree.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Opening up a bit can be good for you, but be careful. Friendly and conversational is good; you don't need to reveal everything! What you do say could affect your professional reputation, even if you only intend to confide in friends.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Dazzling your friends is too easy. Challenge yourself to be more truly creative and don't worry who notices. You need some downtime to balance private desires and public expression. Consider what sacrifices are necessary to meet your goals.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Rising to economic challenges will help you go far. Your partner and friends may exaggerate your talents, but they're not entirely wrong. Modesty includes acknowledging simply the range of your talents.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Start talking up your ambitions and accomplishments. If you don't take the lead on that topic, others will! Count on colleagues to support you. Your partner's good intentions in that regard could do more harm than good.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): A sudden burst of outspokenness can get you in trouble with your colleagues. Watch your tongue at work, but don't be shy with your partner or friends. In the right time and place your ribald wit could be brilliant.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Exploring new sexual techniques can unlock new avenues of creativity – or vice versa. Exciting as that is, watch what you discuss and where. Digging up family secrets can help keep you out of trouble and deepen that creative spurt.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Opening up about your feelings can cause some domestic havoc, but it is necessary to keep or find a lasting love. To solve problems at home, be clear and firm on your own behalf and creatively generous without compromising yourself.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): You are becoming in the longer run even more outspoken and innovative. For now that can include seriously disruptive outbursts, distractions and accidents. Give yourself a safe outlet to be as outrageous as you like. Elsewhere, think ahead and cool it!
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Feeling lost is the first step toward finding yourself. For now, expressing the questions is more important than finding the answers. There's little if any logic to this quest. Find your way through art and mysticism. Let friends provide grounding.
