There’s an awful lot of Mercury afoot. Mostly our ability to communicate effectively is enhanced this week. But external influences may cause a shift in how we communicate. In other words, you might get pissed off and your mouth may let them know about it. In this case, your tongue can be a pretty sharp sword. Sometimes that’s a good thing. But be careful how and with whom you express yourself.
Relationships may feel a little wonky and slightly out of sync. It will pass. Another reason to keep your words in check.
Overall it isn’t the most sunshiney, rainbows and unicorns week. It’s not awful either.
In the HBO series Chernobyl, one of the characters is measuring ionizing radiation. The following quote has made its way onto t-shirts and other merch, and aptly describes the snapshot of this week: “3.6 Roentgen Not great, Not terrible”
This week’s scopes are written with “mitigation of bullshit” and “survival of fuckery” in mind.

ARIES - Watch out for a tendency to be overly optimistic, or too trusting, You may be too focused on the details and need to back up to see the big picture. You have a lot more personal power in this situation (whatever came to mind when you read that) than you think. Like...a lot more. Don’t misuse it, but don’t give it away to anyone else either. Play your hand in a way that benefits you but doesn’t harm the other party.
TAURUS - Vulnerability is great, but it must be matched with a certain amount of strength. Don’t over give in this situation (the one you just thought about when you read that). You should feel free to tap in to your badass side and throw your hat into the ring. Let your competitive side show up to the party.
GEMINI - This could be a watery week for you. And for an air sign, too much emotional stuff can be very confusing. Your artistic and intuitive drives are in high gear, and you have the ability to solve almost anything at the moment. Stay open to the many possibilities, and try not to have expectations with too many details involved. Keep your manifesting and your communications open ended.
CANCER - You a poised to have a very productive week, with the cooperation of others on your side, but beware of having too many cooks in the kitchen. Don’t give away control of your brilliant ideas until you’re sure you have the team in place to really support you. When this gets off the ground, you will feel very satisfied and rewarded, so keep at it!
LEO - You can have stability and abundance, but it is an artform to achieve the balance. You may feel frustrated right now about the seeming lack of progress on your personal projects or desires. There is progress happening, but consider the idea that maybe you’re playing it too safe. Risk and reward are 2 halves of the same coin.
VIRGO - You’re restless, bored, and ready for some things to happen, damnit. They will. But try to keep your restless energy in check. If you don’t, you may be overly harsh with people who don’t deserve it. You have every reason to believe that a breakthrough is right around the corner. New opportunities and big progress on your path are not too far off!
LIBRA - Disappointment is really hard for you. Sometimes other people’s disappointment weighs on you just as much as your own. When things don’t go the way we want, we can get really irritated and frustrated, but in the grand scheme, the Universe does have our backs! “All things work together for good”
SCORPIO - Your healthy innate sense of paranoia works to your benefit this week. You don’t need to be paranoid, actually. But your bullshit detector will be in fine shape. Some kind of fuckery or deceit could be at play. It's nothing to be afraid of, not that you would be...ust something to be aware of this week. You won’t need to create or even respond to any drama, as you can be stealthy and prevail.
SAGITTARIUS - You may be suffering from analysis paralysis this week. You are a powerful manifester, but you may be lost in the weeds. Don’t fret about the details, let the Universe sort that out. Be clear on your goal, but don’t attach yourself to a particular person, place or thing. Focus on the feeling of having what you want, period.
CAPRICORN - Sometimes our strengths can work against us a bit...as is the case with you and your ability to withstand all kinds of bullshit. People sometimes take for granted that you will be fine, because you always are, and you rarely ask for help. However, success comes when we surround ourselves with the right people to support and help us. Look at your team and see if this is true for you. If not, make adjustments and ask for help for fucks sake!
AQUARIUS - I’m tellin’ you...victory is at hand! You may not see it at the moment, but you’re real close to your goal or dream. Don’t let your idealism get in the way...progress over perfection. Get your ducks in a row, make your plans, and attempt to be organized as if the thing you’ve been manifesting is eminent...cuz it is. Woot!
PISCES - When you start to feel the pressure this week, don’t panic. Don’t run. Don’t avoid. You don’t necessarily need to lean in and cause a bigger fuss either. Try to be neutral, flexible without bending too much, and confident. The Universe has your back on this...trust that any conflict you feel this week, will ultimately benefit you.
