It’s a good time to seek some peace and calm your mind or meditate and work in relative solitude. Discretion may benefit you during this cycle. You can benefit from more contemplative activities, research, and reflection during this cycle.

Mercury has just entered a new sector of your solar chart, dear Leo, and will stick around there until July 11th. This cycle encourages inventive thinking, fresh ideas, and interesting connections. Your mind is open, and communications flow smoothly for the most. There can be a notable mental focus on your dreams, wishes, hopes, and happiness goals, as well as an increased interest in what others are doing, saying, and thinking. Networking activities increase and stand to offer some learning experiences. Collaboration brings rewards in the weeks ahead. You’re feeling quite generous on an emotional level and attracting supportive situations. With the Moon in your opposing sign most of the day, diplomacy wins.Virgo

There could be publicity now, or you’re giving more thought to career and business affairs. You communicate with more awareness of your audience and with more authority. You’re taking more interest in your life direction, reputation, and goals or ambitions. It’s a good time for communicating, planning, and sorting out important plans and projects. Today, you’re likely to feel particularly fulfilled when you feel needed. Helping out can be satisfying.Libra

You do less ruminating and more big-picture thinking. You’re not as preoccupied with your practical affairs, making it important to avoid glossing over important details. Still, it’s a great time to gain a new perspective on current problems and recent events. You are more courageous or simply spontaneous when expressing your opinions and sharing your ideas during this cycle. It’s a fine time to expand your mind and interests.

Mercury has just begun its transit of your solar eighth house, dear Scorpio, where it will stay until July 11th. During this cycle, your thinking is more strategic and analytical. Your inclination to research and explore topics in more depth can lead to especially well-developed ideas. Secret or hidden information can figure strongly. Mercury brings more logic and objectivity to your emotional world in the weeks ahead. While you tend to go deep and tune into subtle cues and hidden layers in general, this trait is even more pronounced than usual now. Today, you can find it particularly easy to enjoy domestic, quiet, or indoor comforts now.Sagittarius
Mercury has just begun its transit of your opposite sign, dear Sagittarius, and will influence this area of your solar chart until July 11th. It’s a more sociable move for Mercury — a period for sharing your ideas and plans more readily, particularly in one-on-one settings. You tend to do more thinking about your relationships or collaborating with a partner. During this cycle, you seem to need catalysts to jumpstart your own thinking, and you may crave more conversation, feedback, and input for this reason. Your interactions with others hold tremendous potential for fresh ideas and thinking. Today, you might particularly enjoy connecting and communicating. It’s also a good time for teaching, advising, and guiding–people are drawn to you and your ideas.Capricorn
Mercury has just begun its transit of your solar sixth house, dear Capricorn, and will stay until July 11th. You take more interest in details, work, health, and problem-solving. Small jobs and duties are in stronger focus. You may be dissecting problems, working on solving tricky matters, and finding solutions to practical problems. It’s a great time to tidy up your life in small but impactful ways, but it’s crucial to avoid overthinking and worrying, which can happen a little too easily under duress. You’re likely to discover useful information about work and health methods and arrive at new and improved ways of reorganizing your life. Today, you can benefit from a focus on your practical affairs and uncomplicated matters.Aquarius
The messenger planet, Mercury, has just moved into your playful, creative solar fifth house, dear Aquarius. Until July 11th, you gravitate to people who encourage and make it easy for you to express yourself. Positive communications and a receptive audience for your ideas and gestures figure strongly. Those areas of life associated with the fifth house can be more interesting, thought-worthy, or relevant to you now, including romance, children, and hobbies or creative pursuits. You may get the chance to shine or stand out from the crowd on a mental level, or this can be a time of clearer expression of your feelings, ideas, and personality. If you’ve had trouble verbalizing your affections, this is a time to get things out. Today, much of the day is very much about your needs, feelings, and desires. You’re looking ahead with more confidence and optimism.Pisces
Mercury has just begun its transit of your home and family sector, dear Pisces. While this is not the most expressive or communicative of Mercury cycles, it’s a good period for sorting out problems around the home and opening up the lines of communication with loved ones. Until July 11th, you have a lot to learn at home and through contact with loved ones, but you may not be as forthcoming with the outside world. This is a fine time for thinking about long-term security or endeavors that have long-lasting potential. Today, much is going on behind the scenes. The Moon spends most of the day in your privacy sector before emerging in your sign, and you’re likely to be preparing, building inner strength, and reflecting or enjoying more downtime.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
