As Mercury Floats into Pisces
If a wish goes ungranted for a very long time, maybe there's a good reason. Perhaps it's not really your wish. Maybe it belongs to a parent or authority figure or to society at large. As Mercury drifts into the wistful sign of Pisces, true, specific and personal wishes haunt our dreams. We become magnetized on a deep level and more willing to pay the price.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're trying to be realistic about a relationship, but the fact is that you don't have enough data to make a prediction. Risk a little more of your time, energy, ego and heart, and what you learn will be a lot.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Playmates are not just for children. It's OK to admit you long for the playfulness born of good chemistry and well-matched intelligence. It's a surge to your vitality, a boon to your health and worth making a priority.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success creates expectations, constraints and ongoing responsibilities without necessarily giving you more options or freedoms. So before you embark on the journey, make sure the goal is really worth it. Make sure you really like the kind of success it is.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who only hear what they want to hear communicate in a small bubble of their own delusion, cannot learn and will not know the world. The truth is only available to those open to hearing what they don't want to hear.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your relationship with yourself is the longest, most consistent and rock-solid one you have. Many people never achieve that, even with partners, families and social abundance. It's the reason you can be so honest now and make changes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In our solar system, one star holds 99% of the mass. Alpha Centauri, our closest stellar neighbor, has three stars, and it spins perfectly. Today reminds you there's more than one way to run things. Yours works, and theirs does too.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Truly mutual, awake, bonded relationships are rare -- not mythically rare, but statistically rare. But this is what you're looking for. You'll find it. It's not a fantasy. It's out there for you and you won't confuse substitutes for the real thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No need to rush to resolution. Let silence work for you. Let distance reorganize perception. The mind keeps answering after you stop pushing. Once that happens, the next step becomes obvious on its own.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's something you're disgruntled about. You're not bargaining with the universe or shaking your fist at it. You're describing a problem as you've observed it, over time. You've approached with discernment, pattern recognition and honesty. All will be addressed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Given the size of your interior world, the breadth of your talent and the range of your appetite for beauty, it would be a shame to waste all that potential on tedious maintenance. Cut the boring tasks short. Go do something generative.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your boundaries are like a skilled conductor's baton. They set tempo and rhythm. Interactions will unfold within your parameters. People work together in harmony, and powerful chords accompany your experience.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone needs a little change-up now and then. You feel driven to break up the monotony, but only to a certain degree. Too much novelty is destabilizing. So change one variable at a time and see how it feels.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 6). Welcome to your Year of Magical Guidance, when illumination is whimsical in tone, but dependable, consistently arriving whenever you ask. Matters of love and timing are sorted out on demand, which makes you relax and enjoy your relationships. More highlights: Because you read situations accurately and act with grace, you'll often be hired and invited. Wise choices compound over time. Memorable, festive hosting and visiting. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 13, 1, 40 and 5.
