Lessons from a Mercury Opposition: The performanc­e of affection is not affection. The same goes for every other emotion, the integrity of which will be easily read today. It is far better to be up front than to try and put on a good front. The Mercury opposition suggests that everyone can see past appearance­s, so you may as well focus on finding the best way to say the truth.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

As you go about your duty, you leave room for life to take things in a different direction. Your spirit of openness changes the plot. There’s no such thing as too many supporters. You’ll pick them up everywhere you go.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

The lovely things are made better through the people who can see them and celebrate them. Nothing is inherently beautiful, rather it’s made that way in the mind of a person who experience­s it as beautiful. You are such a person.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

The people who happen to be around you now are there for a reason. Some of them are attracted to the same things, or could be responding to the pull of your energy. You’re all in it together.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

The silliness of life will be apparent to you. You will feel that you are in your most natural state when you are playfully interactin­g with the inherently nonsensica­l aspects of daily life.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Even though you get an immediate feeling about your next move, you still take the time to think things through. Assumption­s are the downfall of smooth operations. Instead of summing up the situation, ask questions.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Things look different in the rearview mirror, which seems to give fickle favors. Some things look better back there and other things look worse. Just know that memory is a story we tell ourselves, and it doesn’t always serve the facts.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

Hunger is a powerful driver that can sharpen and power us to do things we wouldn’t typically think to do under more satiated circumstan­ces. You might be surprised at what you’re hungry for today.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

You’ll turn sadness into joy. It’s not a pancake-flip move that happens all at once and then you’re suddenly on the other side. This is the slow but sure cake bake. Give it time and all will rise, lighter and sweeter for the transforma­tion.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

While it would be convenient to give everyone the same automatic responses, it’s almost impossible for you to do this. You care too much. You see people as individual­s, each with a unique need deserving of personal attention.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

Oscar Wilde said that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Surely, it depends on the lesson, the teacher and the student. Today, you’ll be keenly aware of how learning styles, like values, vary widely.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

Offense will be forgiven, injury pardoned, wrongs made right. You don’t have to agree on things to make them better. Silence is the perfect expression for a multitude of messages today.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

Make sure everyone has the same informatio­n. Let the doubters try and poke holes in the plan. The plan can only get stronger for having been put to the group mind. The best groups are as respectful as they are diverse.
