No matter which part of the planet we're from, we've got lots in common. Humans share fundamental qualities. And our differences are what make life interesting and vibrant. As Mercury (ideas and communication) links to Jupiter (optimism and wisdom), the cosmos encourages us to celebrate diversity. People across Europe are holding street parties to celebrate VE Day today. But wherever you are, if you've got a chance to share food, enjoy conversations, and have a dance, go for it.
As Venus meets Neptune in a dreamy conjunction, recent stresses will begin to seem like a distant dream. It is the perfect time to take advantage of this very special 50% OFF ALL BIRTH CHARTS - SPECIAL OFFER!
ARIES
They say that 'ignorance is bliss', but is that true? Surely, there are times when not being aware of what's going on puts us in a state of vulnerability? When we're missing facts or lacking knowledge, how can we make accurate assessments and appropriate decisions? Plus, if we don't have all the data, we can miss opportunities. People who understand this sometimes choose to hide information to give themselves an advantage. It would be remiss to let someone have what rightfully belongs to you today. Stay focused.
TAURUS
Who's writing the narrative of your life? Who creates the plot developments; the twists and turns, and the ups and downs? Whoever it is, they've got a lot of power. That person is, in case you're wondering, you. But having so much power isn't easy. It comes along with a lot of responsibility. And sometimes, since that feels overwhelming, we choose to give our power away. Under today's positive cosmic climate, if you take the pen into your hand, you can begin writing a storyline that takes you towards the fulfillment of a dream.
GEMINI
Usually, if you find yourself standing at the top of a hill, you'd expect to be able to see a long way into the distance. But suppose, when you get to the top, the clouds are low and the spectacular vista you were hoping to see is hidden from view? If your visibility has been obscured recently, it's because you've been dealing with psychological fog. Today, as your ruler Mercury links to Jupiter, you get to see what's possible. Here comes a chance to acknowledge the ground you've covered and see where you're heading.
CANCER
Research shows that we've been making incorrect assumptions about some of our animal friends. Sheep, for example, aren't unintelligent; they're emotionally complex creatures who form strong bonds with the other members of their flock. Goldfish turn out to have surprisingly good memories. So, are we as intelligent as we think? Intellect is not the defining characteristic of our species; it's our ability to empathise and be self-aware that needs celebrating. Today, if you feel confused about what to do, follow your heart.
LEO
As a species, we're always discovering new information that changes our views about human history. Archaeological discoveries alter our ideas about previous civilisations. Evidence of interactions between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals has forced us to rethink our ancestral past. But does this new information make us panic? No! It's just added to our database of knowledge. Today, a new realisation might change your perspective and cause you to rethink your plans. But it doesn't invalidate what you're doing. It helps.
VIRGO
We're so inundated with information that it's hard to know what to focus on and who to believe. PR gurus sell illusions. Politicians sell policies. We're constantly exposed to people trying to convince us to see things their way. And the experts work subtly; they know that a quiet word here, a nudge there, is enough to sow the seed of an idea, which they reinforce over time. The link between your ruler and Jupiter allows you to revisit an idea. Once you remember where it originated, you'll be able to make an informed choice.
LIBRA
There are times when it's an advantage to have less knowledge than other people. If they know more than us, we can sit back and let them take responsibility for sorting out problems. But when we know something, we can't just delete it from our minds. Nor can we just ignore information that makes us feel uncomfortable, or obliges us to act. Although it's tempting to stick your head in the sand and avoid having to confront something today, in this cosmic climate, if you face up to a problem, you'll learn something valuable.
SCORPIO
We know that patience is a virtue. But we also know that virtuous people can be impatient. And that modelling extreme virtuousness doesn't necessitate attaining a state of complete inertia; what kind of life would that be? Existence on this ball of rock involves being able to adapt. There are times when impatience is appropriate. And there are times when it's best to do as little as possible. Be prepared to take a back seat today. Let things unfold, and trust that what's happening is for the best. You'll soon know what action to take.
SAGITTARIUS
With Mercury (planet of ideas) linking to your ruler, Jupiter, today, get ready for a ta-dah moment. A light bulb will turn itself on and set off a series of synapses that enable you to make connections between two topics which have, until now, appeared to be unconnected. At first, this realisation might not seem particularly mind-blowing. But as it sinks in, you'll realise that together, these seemingly disparate things hold the key to a new path forward. It's been waiting for you to discover it. Are you ready for an adventure?
CAPRICORN
These days, even washing machines are complicated. It's unlikely that many of us bother to work out all the different functions; we know what we need to know, and that's enough. It's the same with our phones/computers. We're surrounded by technology that's too complex to fully understand. As long as we can get it to do what we need it to do, we're happy. We don't care about the functions we're overlooking. You've been overlooking a 'switch' in your catalogue of skills. Flick it, and you can resolve a communication issue.
AQUARIUS
That problem you're dealing with? The one you're trying to avoid, which won't go away? Let's talk about that. Because it's decision-making time. Unless you prefer to let it rob you of another day of happiness, you can decide that enough is enough. The link between Mercury (ideas) and Jupiter (wisdom) brings the support you need to find the courage to face this challenge. Confronting it head on will enable you to see that it's far less problematic than you think. By taking one step at a time, you can sort this... and move on.
PISCES
To work out whether you've got what it takes to do something new, you've got to give it a go. There's no other option. If you're not prepared to stretch yourself, how will you know if something is within reach? Yes, this involves an element of risk; there's always a chance you could lean so far over that you lose balance and have to pick yourself up and start again. Yet, even if you end up on the floor, you'll be able to get back on your feet. Under today's cosmic climate, there's every chance you'll make the connection you need.
