The Mischief of Mercury’s Cat

Mercury appears in Leo as the cat in the hat, intent on banishing doldrums and granting wishes in a carefree, albeit random, way. Luckily, it also reduces the tendency to fret and worry about life damage, which is usually cleared up at the end anyway. Alternatively, these can also be seen as telltale signs that pleasure has occurred.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Most addictions are, in one way or another, a comfort addiction. Once you accept the discomfort, you are free to break the patterns and open up your options.

LEO (July 23-August 22). Lucky results arise wherever you focus your creativity. You are an artist who falls in love with your masterpiece. Creative expression reveals your deepest thoughts and feelings and invites you to discover new aspects of yourself.

VIRGIN (August 23-September 22). So many short-term pleasures offer a high followed by a crash. Finding healthy things to crave is a challenge in a world of artificial flavors of all kinds. Today offers a guilt-free gift: what’s good for you is also exciting.

BALANCE (Sep 23-Oct 23). You’ll pack a bag, study for an upcoming test, or otherwise carefully prepare to face the unknown. Where there is preparation, there will be no regret. Tonight, you will enjoy making people laugh.

SCORPIO (24 Oct-21 Nov). Does science come from poetry or does poetry come from science? Either way, a pleasant and satisfying fusion of the two is occurring in your world, giving the sense that everything is coming together for a higher purpose.

SAGITTARIUS (22 Nov-21 Dec). People who know each other very well will find it difficult to listen well because they assume they already know the drill. Avoid problems by double and triple checking the communication.

CAPRICORN (22 Dec-19 Jan). It’s strange to think that there was a time when your favorite people were completely unknown to you. It’s just another reason to be friendly with strangers.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18). Lucky moves include cleaning, organizing, and inventory. Remembering what you have will make you feel grateful and avoid accidentally buying things you don’t really need.

PISCES (February 19-March 20). What if the most important job of the day was figuring out how to have fun? It doesn’t seem like it should be a difficult thing to set up, and yet, since every individual is different, the fun takes a tailored effort.

RAM (March 21-April 19). You don’t consider yourself remarkably unique, but you live differently from those around you. You turn conventions into a lifestyle that makes you smile. Celebrate and nurture that nonconformist part of yourself.

BULL (April 20-May 20). The secrets of success aren’t so secret after all. A Google search reveals just about everything you need to know. It’s not the information but what you do with it that counts. Use it as sunscreen. Apply a little each day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Socializing is always a risk, even with people you know well, and that’s what makes it fun. You can never really tell how people will react. Although you do not seek or expect to delight others today, you will.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (11 July). Instinct takes over and you won’t be able to explain your certainty, but it pushes you to take bold action. First you strive with great passion, then life rises to meet your pursuit. More highlights: Funding arrives, then some, an abundance of good times and overflowing love, and overdue and very satisfying accounts. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 4, 19, 16 and 3.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: To celebrate the first anniversary of her album “In the Meantime”, Alessia Cara made a self-edited documentary with the footage collected during the writing process. The Cancer singer-songwriter was born when the Sun and Mercury were both in moving Cancer, revealing a preference for being at home. Three Gemini luminaires speak of sharp minds and intelligent communication.
