Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Facing a roadblock can be a clear signal to slow down. If challenges keep mounting, it might be wise to acknowledge them and revise your plans. Even so, with Mars’ dynamic connection to Jupiter sparking your zest for new projects, you may find yourself tempted by an exciting opportunity. Give yourself a day or two to fully assess the situation before making any decisions.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Having a spontaneous gift-giving moment? Something you intensely dislike could be the exact thing your friend has been pining for, or that they didn’t know they needed but will adore. Your intuitive decision could delight them, reinforcing your reputation as a thoughtful and perceptive friend. Don’t spoil the effect by being too honest about why you’re giving it away though.

An impulsive decision might not pan out as expected. In the current climate, your intuition is your ally, whispering warnings you’ll ignore at your peril. See this as a lesson in the art of balancing your analytical abilities with instinctual wisdom. Not all who wander are lost, but in your case, a moment of reflection and inner enquiry could save you from a big mistake.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
As Mercury retrograde aligns unpredictably with Uranus, tread lightly in social settings. Your desire to connect and engage might lead you to say more than intended. Whether it’s a casual party or a relaxed gathering, be mindful of this. Keep some of your secrets back, if you can. Creating an aura of mystery not only protects your interests but may enhance your allure.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Your usual ability to read between the lines might backfire, leading you to misinterpret someone’s intentions. With Mercury’s electric angle towards Uranus, wires may become crossed, and you could be suspicious for no solid reason. Someone close could be genuinely looking out for your best interests. Don’t immediately assume the worst, as you’ll be the one to lose out.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
As Mercury retrograde playfully interacts with edgy Uranus, your love for spontaneity could lead you astray. A sudden decision made on a whim might throw a proverbial spanner into your plans, disrupting key tasks or pushing a deadline further into the future. Consider how this will affect your reputation, Archer. Sometimes, your wild spirit takes over when it’s best to knuckle down.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
You could be in too much of a hurry, especially around decisions that can have key consequences. Today’s awkward influences urge you to slow down, as being too quick off the mark might set you on a path filled with unforeseen challenges. Resist the urge to make snap judgments or rush through the small print. Think each decision through and you may gain rather than lose out.

January 22 to February 19
The people you connect with may be firing idea after idea at you, as the air is alive with brilliant concepts and innovative schemes. You might be excited by what’s on offer and tempted to get a piece of the action. Give these options some thought, as with some patient negotiation and tweaking, you could become involved in something that brings out the best in you, Aquarius.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
The Mercury/Uranus angle warns against becoming trapped in commitments that end up leaving you trapped. This blend of energies may cloud your judgment, making it easier to overlook any red flags. It suggests you’ll want a certain outcome so fast, that you might forget to check that all is in order. On the plus side, a fresh perspective on a lingering issue can also be very welcome.
