Every zodiac sign possesses unique characteristics and qualities that shape an individual’s personality. Imagine beginning your day with foresight into what lies ahead. Continue reading to discover if today holds favorable prospects for you.
Aries
There’s nothing wrong with projecting an air of confidence, Aries, but watch that today’s meetup of the Sun and Mercury retrograde in your sign doesn’t find you teetering on the edge of arrogance. What NOT to do? Overcompensate for insecurities with swagger. Avoid gloating, arguing for the sake of being right or just waiting for your turn to speak instead of deeply listening. True confidence comes from a sense of self-assuredness within—and that’s when you really shine with authenticity.
Taurus
Awkward vibes could disrupt your flow today as the Sun syncs up with Mercury retrograde, skewing your intuition. You’ll have an uncharacteristically hard time reading people, which could lead to a few embarrassing encounters. For example, you turn your head the wrong way, and a kiss meant for your cheek cold ends up on your lips. Or you get the wrong impression from someone you were flirting with who turns out to be married. While your highly personable sign makes friends easily, this planetary alignment could have you coming on a bit too strong. Take no offense and give people some space—they’ll join Team Taurus soon enough.
Gemini
Your edgy style attracts the renegade types like bees to honey—which can be exciting as long as it’s properly channeled. Under today’s feisty alignment of the Sun and Mercury retrograde, your rebellious streak could lead you down a questionable path. Be careful not to fall for someone’s impassioned speech and get swept up in a cause you don’t fully understand (let alone agree with). Take time to understand the full history behind this movement or struggle. In true Gemini fashion, you could wind up seeing both sides of the argument, making you glad you didn’t take sides too soon.
Cancer
Feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew? Today’s merger of the confident Sun and Mercury retrograde pumps the brakes. Yes, Cancer, you can handle anything that comes your way. But you need to stop and make a realistic project plan. You’ll work best alone under this starmap, so don’t be shy about asking for space so you can take care of business. Once you have everything mapped out and organized, you’ll be ready to delegate.
Leo
While we hate to tell an enthusiastic Leo to “rein it in,” today’s mashup of the Sun and Mercury retrograde is flashing a yellow light. Limitless expansion is the name of your game, but you want to make sure you’re broadening the RIGHT horizons. Take time to assess your recent growth. Do you want to keep pouring energy into these areas, or is it time to pivot in a different direction? You don’t have to throw away all your hard work, but get clear about how to build upon it in a way that works best for you.
Virgo
You’re a perfectionist by nature, Virgo, which can make you difficult to please. Not to mention you’re often focused on how people convey themselves—e.g., tracking facial expressions and body language like a hawk. Nevertheless, your incisive feedback can be helpful under today’s alignment of the Sun and Mercury retrograde. The trick is to offer a proactive solution instead of simply criticizing. People don’t want to hear what’s wrong—they need to hear how they could make things better.
Libra
If an old flame lights a (rent-free) bonfire in your head today, blame it on the one-day mashup of the Sun and Mercury retrograde. With this conjunction happening in Aries and your relationship zone, you could find yourself ruminating on the one that (thankfully) got away…and cost you hella money in therapy. No matter how much psychic heat you’re feeling, steel your willpower. It’s possible that they’re thinking about you too, but this would be an inopportune moment to invite them back in.
Scorpio
Being too indirect about your wishes could garner adverse reactions today. Under a one-day merger of the Sun and Mercury retrograde, communicate clearly—or prepare for pushback! Being squirrely about your intentions could arouse suspicion or make it seem like you’re pushing a hidden agenda. What is it that you actually want? Although you may fear rejection, there’s actually a good chance that people will see your idea as a breakthrough insight.
Sagittarius
When you get excited, you tend to put the cart before the horse. But that could spell trouble today as the Sun and Mercury retrograde meet up in your passionate fifth house. A promising lead—for romance or finance—could turn out to be smoke and mirrors rather than anything worth pursuing. Even credible people may not be the right fit for you now. Take time to play this out. Beyond their social cachet, can they actually offer you something of value? Don’t lose sight of your own power and worth!
Capricorn
Nostalgia is one thing, Capricorn, but are you hanging on too tightly to objects from your past? Those expensive boots you’ve worn once or that cocktail dress you will never don again could net you some pocket change if you sell them online. But not everything has to go. With the Sun and Mercury retrograde synced up for the day in your domestic fourth house, you may feel ready to pull a few treasured objects out of storage and bring them back for 2024!
Aquarius
Friction could ripple through your friend circle under today’s merger of the Sun and Mercury retrograde. Your job, Aquarius, is simple: Do NOT fan those flames! Mute the thread or let people know that you need a day to think things over. Then use this retrograde for its highest purpose by reconnecting with a beloved buddy from your past.
Pisces
Money stress could permeate your thought bubble today. As daydreamy as your sign can be, not all solutions can come from the depths of your ethereal mind. It’s too easy to plummet into a fear spiral under today’s merger of the Sun and Mercury retrograde. Move your body to move your energy. Hit the gym, go for a run or walk in the park to untangle your tumultuous thoughts. Turning your attention elsewhere—and getting out of your head—a problem can be revisited later with a fresh perspective.
