With Mercury retrograde stirring up confusion and clashing with the Moon, words could hit harder than intended today.
The best advice is to take a breath before jumping to conclusions, as misunderstandings and hidden tensions could test your patience — Taurus,Gemini, Cancer and Scorpio in particular.
Listen carefully, keep your cool and remember that not every comment is meant to provoke you.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Yesterday’s Full Moon created intensity, and it’s not at an end. However, the smart thing today, if you’re still feeling the effects, is not to dig your heels in. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make a point and be firm, but completely refusing to lean into what is being discussed could prove counterproductive. Be firm, but flexible where possible today.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
The good news, Taurus, is the Moon continues her journey in your sign, and she’s rather pleased about it. It’s just the grumpy celestial neighbours. Today Mercury goes face to face with the Moon. With Mercury still retrograde, a misunderstanding is possible, but only if you’re hasty. Slow down, listen carefully, and check what you’ve heard before responding.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
More stuff has been coming into the open over the last 24 hours, and more can do so today. You may believe, with some justification, that someone has been less than transparent. Even so, try not to be triggered. The more you don’t rise to the bait, the more you deny this person any power — and, in the process, keep your dignity. Rising above them can be powerful.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Emotions and words don’t always align. When people ask questions, we don’t always want to open up and share how we really feel — and rightly so. However, someone who knows you well might ask something which hits a nerve. You may need to be more obliging than usual today, Cancer. So, listen carefully before deciding how you should respond thoughtfully.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Be it at work or home, tension continues if you don’t feel the respect due to you is forthcoming. Yet today everyone can likely be more easily irritated by things we usually shrug off. What you can do, rather than react, is lead. This doesn’t mean giving orders and demanding respect, no, just lead by example, Leo. This can achieve much more today.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Your ruler Mercury is in a complex phase, retracing its steps in intense Scorpio. This has given you a chance to rethink or revise an ongoing plan, idea or interest, but in a more perceptive way. Don’t be deflected by what others say. While they may have a valid point, your viewpoint counts most, and know that you’re at your best when refining things.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may be reconsidering something you had felt certain about. Yet there is subtle encouragement to look beyond the obvious, and trust that something is gradually moving in a more helpful direction. Don’t force an answer today. Give yourself room to reflect, especially where a relationship, money matter or personal priority is concerned.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Today, with the Moon opposing Mercury in Scorpio, someone may say something which seems personal. Before responding, double-check what was actually meant. There is a difference between a comment touching a sensitive spot and someone deliberately trying to provoke you, Scorpio. A little patience will help you to decipher just what’s what today.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
You may be carrying more of a burden than is obvious. With Mercury retracing its steps through the most private area of your chart, something from the past can resurface, perhaps through a conversation or passing thought. You don’t have to resolve it immediately. Sometimes recognising why something still bothers you is the key, as today can show.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Yesterday’s Full Moon may have highlighted a situation involving friends, colleagues or your wider hopes for the future. Today, you may now see it from a different perspective. Someone’s reaction could tell you more than their words, particularly if there has been some uncertainty. Don’t rush to conclusions. Let things settle before deciding; this will serve you best.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Ambitions, responsibilities or the expectations others have of you may leave you feeling someone is making demands without appreciating what you already contribute and what is already on your plate. Rather than becoming defensive, explain your position clearly. Once the facts are out in the open, a workable compromise may be easier to find for everyone.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Your thoughts may wander – particularly towards something you once believed, studied or experienced. This kind of revisiting can be valuable, as you may have changed since first encountering it. Don’t dismiss something simply because your previous view no longer fits. Curiosity, reflection and allowing your perspective to evolve is a great theme and quality.
