Horoscopes

The vibe could be off in your social network today. As the volatile Moon meets intense Pluto in your 11th House of Community, perhaps only one person in the group is really upset, but their bad mood has an outsize effect on everyone else. Understandably, you might prefer to avoid making things worse -- but how much should you be asked to sacrifice? It's possible to live in line with your values without airing every issue you have. Act with discretion.

You can currently serve as a capable spokesperson for a community or organization you represent. Knowing when to stop could be the hard part! While the sensitive Moon unites with shady Pluto in your public 10th house, you might be tempted to throw in a serving of emotional manipulation as long as you have the floor. Be wary -- this has the potential to stir resentment against you. Keep in mind that there are different ways of telling the same true story.

Your climb toward power is continuing today. When strategic Mercury in your secretive 12th house aligns with steady Saturn in your ambition zone, you're able to gain a clear view of your situation and its major players. Your main obstacle at this point could be your emotional attachment to the idea that circumstances need to be fair and follow the rules. That doesn't always happen, no matter how much anyone thinks it should. Pay attention to the facts on the ground instead.

The ongoing emotional intensity in a relationship of yours could overwhelm you. Even if the other person is totally up in your business, perhaps you're still not sure exactly what they want from you. As inquisitive Mercury in your community zone supports logical Saturn in your 9th House of Beliefs, you might find it helpful to learn about your peers' experiences with similar situations. True, you'll ultimately need to make your own decisions, but knowing what's common can at least give you a useful benchmark.

A display of big emotions could shake up one of your close relationships now. This might seem like a normal part of getting closer to another person -- and sometimes it is. That said, that's not all there is to building intimacy. While articulate Mercury in your authority zone bolsters structured Saturn in your sharing sector, you can use your leadership to thoughtfully bring back containment. Messes can't always be suppressed, but they also need to be cleaned up when they happen.

Burying yourself in your work could currently seem like a clever way to avoid a relationship problem you don't want to deal with. That type of practical focus is probably exactly what the connection in question needs, though. As mental Mercury in your intellectual 9th house collaborates with reliable Saturn in your partnership sector, you might be more comfortable if you know what to consistently expect from the other person. Asking for that won't necessarily be easy, but ultimately, it should be rewarding.

Your pursuit of pleasure runs the risk of turning compulsive. Ask yourself if you unconsciously feel like you must seize all the fun you can, whenever you can, in order to compensate for a situation where you're endlessly overworked. Thankfully, as communication planet Mercury in your 8th House of Shared Responsibilities negotiates with rigid Saturn in your productivity zone, you might have a realistic chance to address your underlying problem. To prepare for that, try to identify specific changes that would help you.

A recent relationship issue might have a surprising root cause. While the vulnerable Moon merges with domineering Pluto in your 4th House of Nurturing, you've potentially got it in your head that you must parent the other person -- even if they're chronologically your peer! Dialing this back and talking to your companion in a more age-appropriate way can provide the reset you both need. Your pursuit of pleasure may have been suppressed by your unbalanced dynamic, but it can recover given the opportunity.

Coming on too strong is a risk right now. As the manipulative Moon conjoins powerful Pluto in your communication zone, your words pack a punch. Think back on any past experiences that have led you to believe that people won't listen to you if you share your grievances in a direct and neutral way. If there's a simple practical problem to solve, though, you might as well start there and assume the best. Don't make things more complicated than they need to be.

Telling someone else what's on your mind can ease your worries. While verbal Mercury in your 5th House of Self-Expression draws out reserved Saturn in your conversation sector, putting a seemingly complicated concern into words might contain it and make it seem manageable. There could be a component of your problem that involves money, and addressing that is likely the easiest place to start. You can at least see what's left once you get the most obvious issue out of the picture.

Figuring out what makes you feel secure could be a high priority at this time. While creative Mercury in your nourishing 4th house reassures anxious Saturn in your finance zone, it may be true that you don't have as much money as you'd like. Even so, knowing that you're already using the resources realistically available to you in the most effective way possible might reassure you. No matter what happens, you still have your wits and strength on your side.

Keeping an eye on your mouth might serve you well today. Perhaps you're aware of some wildly dramatic stuff going on behind the scenes. Watch out, because relaying that news to the wrong audience could cause the situation to spiral out of control. As chatty Mercury in your 3rd House of Communication looks to controlled Saturn in your sign, go into any conversation with a clear idea of what your companion truly needs to know. Don't tell them any more than that.
