Mercury Alters the Deal
Mercury’s cross into Aries gives a different energy to communication and commerce. In weeks past, we came to understandings and deals by feeling around for the value of things and being sensitive to signals about what people were willing to pay to solve problems. Now the costs are changing; deals are communicated with directness and precision.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The best things in life aren’t free; they’re earned through dedication, loyalty, passion and respect. Meaningful connections and opportunities will be bartered using these emotional currencies today in exchanges that deepen your sense of purpose.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve a talent for connection. You’ll keep things light and skim the surface of topics until you find the one that rings. That’s when you’ll go deeper, but only slightly… just enough to get the rapport that starts a relationship rolling.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a bit of a tangle today: ambition, responsibilities, reconciling certain aspects of a relationship with your self-image — it’s all a lot, but that’s the thing about tangles. One snip of the scissors can free up the whole thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll strike an excellent balance in relationships, helping but not imposing or enabling. Your presence, care and effort matter, but true connection isn’t about carrying the full weight; it’s about walking alongside each other, offering support without taking over.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The biggest barrier to progress? Certainty. Check your assumptions. The willingness to change one’s mind is a sign of intellectual humility, showing openness to growth and to learning from others, our experiences and our mistakes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being wrong isn’t fun, but it’s definitely inevitable, as no one is right 100% of the time. People who know they are flawed are less flawed than the ones who believe they are beyond reproach.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some memories are like insects caught in amber, perfectly preserved — untouched by time, unchanged by retelling. You’ll revisit such a moment, and your recollection is accurate, but the facts will mean something different to you now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s always nice when the kind words and the true words are one in the same. You’ll also stumble across truths that have the potential to land badly, and in that case, you’ll apply your famous finesse and save the day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life has shaped a certain kind of longing, and that longing latched onto something that seemed to promise excitement and tenderness. Now comes the big question. If you close in on this, will the reality be as beautiful as the dream?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Expand your vision beyond what just one source can provide. For instance, instead of waiting for one person to be the answer, put the question out wider. There are many who will want to show up for you and they won’t need to be lured with incentives.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While one part of you craves intellectual growth, physical excellence and spiritual enlightenment, another just wants to binge a good streaming series. The good news? These desires don’t have to compete. Inspiration and renewal come from unexpected places.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is kind to test the light of awareness. You’re dancing around a truth today and not sure how much of it to bring into the light. James Thurber said, “There are two kinds of light — the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.”
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 3). This is the year your vitality surges, fueling bold moves and exhilarating adventures. More highlights: A stroke of good fortune transforms a relationship into something deeper and more rewarding. Your natural magnetism draws in people who uplift and delight you. A creative pursuit brings unexpected acclaim, and you’ll revel in the joy of being truly seen. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 12, 29, 38 and 44.
