Mercury is your informative ruler, and when it sextiles expansive Jupiter on February 3, you think a lot about the future. Where do you want to be in one, five, or ten years? Your broad outlook helps you see beyond today’s limitations. When Mercury enters Pisces on the tenth, your words become passionate and sympathetic, and you inherently know the right thing to say to a friend who’s going through a difficult time. You’re much more tactful than usual, which is appreciated by all. A Mercury-Neptune conjunction on February 19 prompts you to seek out the unknown, so mysteries, secrets, and taboo topics are all equally appealing. Do you feel like someone isn’t telling you the whole truth? Find out what they’re hiding. The moon moves into mysterious Scorpio on the twenty-third, further increasing your need to know all. You thought your curiosity was piqued before? Wait until this inquisitive energy hits you! Your directness is highlighted during the sun-Mars sextile on February 27, so you aren’t likely to sugarcoat anything. You tell it like it is, no more, no less. Assertiveness works to your advantage in most cases, but make the call on a case-by-case basis.

Your quick-moving home planet Mercury forms a trine to experimental Uranus on January 4, opening the door to all kinds of new things and interesting options. You might not step over the threshold right away, but you’re curious. A relaxing Mercury-Neptune sextile on the fourteenth puts you at ease around someone you normally have a hard time talking to, and the conversation flows a lot easier than it normally does. It’s a great time for meeting new friends and making up with old ones, especially if you owe someone an apology. The sun-Uranus square on January 18 could cause general grumpiness and random outbursts, especially if your routine is interrupted or you feel unsure about what might happen next. This transit likes to shake things up, which goes against your “staying in your comfort zone” style. The Saturn-Neptune sextile on the thirty-first puts your dreams into focus, and you might find yourself in the position of helping someone else make their own dreams come true. This combination of fantasy-meets-reality can be the best or worst of both worlds. The outcome is up to you.

Your home planet Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio on December 1, making your interactions a lot more intense than usual. You’re disappointed when you can’t find the information you’re looking for right away, but giving up isn’t an option. Mercury goes direct on the sixth, putting to rest a lot of your worries about whether you said the right thing at the right time to the right person. You’ll still need to stay vigilant during the shadow period, but you can rest a little easier knowing Mercury’s retrograde reign is officially over. The moon spends time in eccentric Aquarius between December 10 and December 13, so you’ll be interested in breaking free of your usual routine. You feel like a rebel coloring outside the lines, but this is probably just a one-time thing. Enjoy being a maverick while it lasts! A lovely Venus-Neptune trine on the twenty-first gives you permission to daydream, but you aren’t always comfortable thinking about “what if.” What’s the worst that could happen if you dare to dream, Virgo? Powerful Mars is at home in ambitious Aries on December 31, so set some aggressive goals going into the new year. Your mindset is right to conquer the world!

You love routine, but why not branch out a bit in November? Uranus is retrograde when it enters powerful Aries on November 6, but that doesn’t slow down your progress too much. When you face an obstacle, look for the most unusual way around it. The direct approach isn’t always the most effective one during this strange transit. Aggressive Mars forms a complimentary sextile to Uranus retrograde on the fifteenth, increasing your need for fun and excitement. It’s out of character for you, but right now you’re drawn to unusual and innovative ways to solve problems, and taking an out-of-the-box approach works almost across the board. You’ll encounter lots of people who are put off by your newfound odd energy, but so what? Stick with whatever’s working for you, Virgo. A full moon in air sign Gemini on November 23 intensifies your curiosity and increases your mental activity. Reading, learning, and connecting with other intellectuals are your favorite full moon activities! Mercury is still retrograde when it forms a conjunction with expansive Jupiter (also retrograde) in Sagittarius on the twenty-seventh, which could put a slight damper on your efforts to learn something new. The desire is there, but so are the distractions. You’ll have to really focus to stay on topic.
