Aries
March 21 to April 20
Mercury is the winged messenger in mythology, and very much to do with communication, and messages. However, Mercury also rules the sign of precision and practicality, Virgo, and moves to join the Sun in that sign today. This is an excellent opportunity to sharpen your focus onto practical strands or to look to find all sorts of meaningful efficiencies.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
You may find yourself feeling a bit lighter and perhaps even more mischievous. If life has seemed more reflective, now you can be more minded to connect to others and be social. If this doesn’t call out to you, what can, is working on pet projects but feeling more in the mood to showcase your talents with others. Either way, you have entered a brighter phase, now

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Thinking comes easily to you, and the planets are asking you to direct your ideas towards home, family or property considerations. Long considered working from home or converting a hobby into a small enterprise? This can gain traction too. However, when it comes for conversations with people close to you, look to stay in touch with your feelings, not just logic.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The people you encounter daily, locally or online, can bring a spark to your world. This could because of a meet up, a group or shared interest, but you can bring an effervescent quality to these connections, and a spark of excitement. Still, your attention span can be a little lower, so to ward off losing interest, you may find yourself juggling several strands, all out at once.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Recent weeks have been enriched, by a whole series of planetary influences, encouraging you to focus and the plans and people dear to your heart. With the zippy Mercury moving into the practical Virgo, today is an excellent opportunity to appraise how some of those strands are developing. Don’t be self-critical about what’s not gained traction, but recognise what has, Leo.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You may have found yourself experiencing a lot of fated encounters, worldly-wise of late, but if your social scene has taken the celestial back seat, now’s a fine time to rekindle meaningful friendships, or to step up your social connections. Lots of fine ideas can be exchanged and these can help you to think your longer-term direction, and deciphering what truly moves you.

December 22 to January 21
Mercury’s move into fellow Earth sign Virgo can help you make sense of ideas or plans that have been gathering momentum.

January 22 to February 19
If recent events have encouraged you to think more deeply about financial or emotional commitments, Mercury’s move into Virgo can help you to slice through to the nub of these. Whether discussing shared resources, or clarifying responsibilities, whilst your instincts can be strong, let them be guided by careful and precise fact finding. Not all maybe as it seems.

February 20 to March 20
Mercury joins the Sun in your opposite sign of Virgo, putting relationships very much in the spotlight. Whether in your personal life or professionally, clear communication can help smooth strengthen important bonds. But here’s the thing, the more you sharpen up your listening skills, the more all this will flow more smoothly, but try not to expect perfection.
