The new moon in energetic Gemini on June 3 puts you in an amazingly curious mood. Now is the time to learn new things and meet new people. Anything that expands your mind gets a big yes! Your power planet Mercury enters caring Cancer on the fourth, switching your inner dialog from facts to feelings. This isn’t a combination you’re always comfortable with, but it might be nice to get some things out in the open that have been buried for some time. The sun enters Cancer’s sensitive sign on June 21, giving you a whole month to explore your deepest feelings. You aren’t used to making decisions based on your emotions, but being practical and logical won’t always work for the situations you encounter in the month ahead. Ask for advice when you need it. By the time Mercury enters outgoing Leo on the twenty-sixth, you’ll be ready to express yourself loudly and clearly. The Lion’s influence gives you the confidence to do just that. Shout it to the world, Virgo. It’s about time you got a standing ovation.

Are you ready for the intense thinking you’ll probably be doing during the Mercury-Pluto retrograde square on May 2? You can’t prepare for some of the advanced concepts that accompany this transit, so you’ll just have to wing it. Your communicative home planet Mercury visits grounded Taurus on the sixth, so your ideas and words will have solid foundations before you attempt to build on them. Share your best ideas only with your closest friends and co-workers. It’s a good time to apply for patents and trademarks. A relaxing Mercury-Neptune sextile on May 15 helps the creativity flow, and you’re in the mood to make art, music, and love. Chance encounters can result in long-lasting friendships or romance now, but only if you let the relationship progress organically. The powerful sun enters knowledge-seeking Gemini on the twenty-first, making education one of your main objectives for the next month. Sign up for a class or inquire about teaching one yourself. If it has to do with learning, you’re in! A sun-Mercury conjunction in stable Taurus on that same day helps you steady your thoughts, so it’s a good time to take care of details like paying bills and returning e-mails. Not the most exciting stuff in the world, but it’s got to get done sometime, right?!?

Your talkative home planet Mercury sextiles structured Saturn on April 7, bringing discipline to your verbal game. You give excellent speeches, presentations, and lectures now, and your word choice is concise yet meaningful. It’s also a good time to catch up on blogs or social media posts. Mercury enters driven Aries on the sixteenth, so you aren’t as good a listener as you are a talker. When you have plenty to say but not a lot of time to say it, it can result in rapid speech that’s hard to understand. Slow down. Let your mouth catch up to your mind. Lovely Venus enters enthusiastic Aries on April 20, speeding up your love life and creating a sense of urgency. Is there really a rush or just a perceived one? Evaluate the situation as much as possible before reacting (or overreacting) to it. Goal-oriented Saturn enters a retrograde cycle on the twenty-ninth, causing you to question your ability to get the job done. Do you have enough resources to do it on your own or do you need some help? This isn’t the time to be hard on yourself, Virgo. Ask for what you need.

When your home planet Mercury goes retrograde on March 5, things get messy. And you hate mess. Staying calm and coming up with alternate solutions to the problems this transit creates is your best line of defense against it, Virgo. Mercury retrograde squares off with expansive Jupiter on the fifteenth, so while you might try to express far-reaching ideas and reach lofty goals, you could fall just short of them. It will be frustrating, but don’t give up. Mercury is still retrograde when it forms a sextile to powerful Mars on March 17, so while things will feel like they’re speeding up, you might struggle to maintain a steady speed. The will is there, so it can be annoying when your efforts don’t quite measure up. Venus enters Pisces on the twenty-sixth, which puts you in la-la land at times when it comes to what’s happening around you. Daydreaming as an occasional escape is okay, Virgo, but you must face reality eventually. Mercury finally goes direct on March 28, ending almost a month of misfires and malfunctions. Get things back up and in working order so you’re ready to face what April has in store!
