We get back from others what we give out. That tends to be something most people agree with.
Might that account for levels of recognition and respect you're gaining now? If you do not yet see evidence of either or both, then you will do shortly.
Of course, a noticeable increase in respect and admiration is going to have a knock-on effect to your confidence. When we're confident, there is always a knock-on effect to other areas of our lives and where your career or domestic situation will undoubtedly benefit, so too will your personal world.
The timing couldn't be better to establish or strengthen a relationship by including travel on the agenda. If there's someone you want to know better or get closer to, look into taking a short journey somewhere together. This can only increase a feel-good factor determined to make its way into your world.

Long ago, prisoners wore heavy iron balls attached to heavy chains. While none of us today must undergo such an unpleasant experience, we do carry psychological equivalents.

When we feel a need to protect ourselves, we sometimes grow used to restriction that exists. We justify it and believe that, because it has existed for so long, it must have done so for a good reason originally that we can no longer recall.

It's important that you accept the freedom you do possess. Someone doesn't have the level of control over you that you believe they do.

All you need to do to see evidence of this for yourself is believe you aren't stuck in ways someone wants you to be. Summon courage, and you can experience the joy of freedom in an area you have long wanted to experience it within.

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal MidHeaven

As our surroundings alter slightly or change dramatically, we adapt. Whether such changes affect our career or home, there is always a knock-on effect to other areas of our lives.

There is a curious connection between your personal world, particularly your social life, and what's transpiring on the career and/or domestic fronts. With change comes upheaval and with upheaval comes insecurity. With so much to focus your attention on personally, you can benefit from detaching yourself from career or home-related matters and truly let your hair down.

Don't succumb though to a tendency to be tetchy or intolerant of others. Your desire for perfection could get the better of you. If you're willing to relax and be receptive to social opportunities that await you, then you can be certain they will find you.

When we share anything, we involve others. What was uniquely ours can sometimes become someone else's, simply through our act of making it available to them. However, a need exists now for you to share something in your world and allow someone to benefit in some way from your doing so.

Rather than nurture resentment, look for the benefits that exist from someone else involving themselves with what you're making available to them. It seems that there are benefits to you although you might have to look a bit harder to see them.

As long as you remain firm, fair and committed to a plan, then there's no reason why someone else can't play a part in helping to make it happen.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 2nd to 4th February 2025. Exact 4th February

Back in medieval times, kings and queens had Court Jesters, individuals whose role involved entertaining the king, queen and all directly associated with them. It was in Jesters' best interests to ensure the king or queen laughed when they were supposed to. Otherwise, Jesters often met with an untimely end.

Think though, what might have happened if one poor Jester was sent to his death and the king or queen fell about laughing having 'got' a joke after it was too late? It's important that you make no assumption now about anyone understanding a point you're trying to convey.

Don't take the fact that they're nodding as acceptance or understanding. It seems there is a need for you to take time to ensure you're not being misunderstood. Take time to ensure you are.

Mercury transits your natal 8th house from 6th to 20th February 2025

Be aware of how your words carry considerable clout at this time. Your powerful self-expression can affect others profoundly, and you might wonder why people react so sensitively to what you say or convey. You know you're only stating the truth, but the truth can be hurtful at times, both intentionally and unintentionally. You curiosity surrounding what motivates others could be heightened, and you could have no issue with raising topics that head into mysterious, taboo, secretive, or psychological territory. Your ability to speak authoritatively is enhanced, but your strong persuasive powers should be used carefully at this time. It might be your fearless but mysterious qualities that someone finds particularly alluring!

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Pluto from 8th to 10th February 2025. Exact 9th February

We can be surrounded by many people yet feel alone. Feeling alone can be heightened enormously when we're struggling because support we need from one or two people not being forthcoming. This means you're having to tackle a certain issue singlehandedly and aren't exactly over the moon with having to do so.

The good news is, you are very capable of tackling on your own what needs to be tackled. It is the discovery of a certain piece of information that will boost your confidence.

Once done, you will feel confident enough to face certain issues or individuals you've feared facing. You'll be more inclined to bring out into the open what has been conveniently brushed under a proverbial carpet.

This new-found confidence, combined with real desire to bring about a significant change to a certain situation, will result in very positive and necessary transformation where you have long wanted to see it.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Neptune from 8th to 10th February 2025. Exact 9th February

Dreams and aspirations never really disappear if we don't achieve or attain them. Sometimes, newer ones take their place. Eventually, we discover that what mattered to us a long time ago remains important and become aware that we ought to give what once mattered our time and attention once again.

In your relationship world, something or someone that once mattered greatly to you is becoming a priority again in some way. An opportunity to focus once again on what - or whom - has never left the realms of your mind and heart is about to present itself.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Uranus from 10th to 12th February 2025. Exact 11th February

For us to 'fix' something, we need to identify in what way or ways it is broken. In the same way a doctor cannot give a diagnosis or prescription without being clear what remedy is needed, we can only fix what needs fixing if we understand what needs fixing and why.

In your relationship world, a drama is unfolding. It is through knowing how a certain situation can be adjusted or rearranged that offers the greatest and most effective way to improve it.

Ignore the desire to be somewhere else. Removing yourself is not an option or solution. The solution surrounds more meaning or depth given to a tired situation, and that's precisely what you can bring.

Have faith in the fact that you can make a situation better and time is on your side to achieve this.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mars from 19th to 20th February 2025. Exact 20th February

How we choose to convey ourselves or make a point is often dictated by our mood or attitude at the time. If we're feeling resentful, aggrieved or angry, then we sometimes use a proverbial sledgehammer to crack a proverbial walnut when a much simpler and less confrontational way would have been best.

It's important you bear that in mind now. Your impatience to make a certain point might be underpinned with more aggression than you intend. Be diplomatic and ensure sensitivity plays a big part in whatever it is you feel the need to say to a certain person now.

Mercury transits your natal 9th house from 20th February 2025 to 28th April 2025

Doing anything to avoid boredom could be a priority now. You might be prone to taking on too much at this time, but a workload overload might feel necessary to keep things interesting and boredom at bay. This could be a time when you flit from one idea to another, especially if a more appealing or inspiring one presents itself. A loved one or potential partner trying to keep up with your sporadic thought processes might need to prepare for this!

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Venus from 20th to 21st February 2025. Exact 21st February

We know how money can facilitate the pursuit of many opportunities. We know how much so much in our world is 'worth.' Let's push aside material 'worth' though and look at something much more valuable.

What do you believe yourself to be worth? If you're not already seeing how much you matter to a certain person or others, then coming events will do much to reassure you. On top of that, you're about to be reminded of how much you matter to yourself.

You are priceless, and you are precious. If you need reminding of that too, then a reminder is coming.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Neptune from 25th to 26th February 2025. Exact 26th February

If something's too good to be true, then we usually have at least one very good reason to doubt it. When something becomes available to us instantly or with little or no effort on our part, we first experience delight that gets replaced with suspicion.

Be wary now of such a situation presenting itself to you now and this probably surrounds a certain person in your world being economical with the truth.

Something in your world doesn't need 'fixing' in the way you're being led to believe, and neither does it need the level of complication that will undoubtedly arise though believing what you're being told now.

Stay focused on what you know works, makes you happy and is safe. Don't deviate from a plan just because a seemingly more attractive option is making itself available.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Ascendant from 26th to 28th February 2025. Exact 27th February

We tend to be very 'tuned in' to people who have a great deal to say but who don't appear to be able to back up what they're saying. Such people tend to simply regurgitate what they've been told and have never chosen to question the validity or relevance to what they're telling others.

However, some people appear to possess 'gift of the gab' and make sense when they speak. You can elevate your status in the eyes of certain people – or a certain person in particular – by speaking confidently and knowledgeably now.

You have something interesting and relevant to say. Don't feel otherwise.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Uranus from 27th February 2025 to 1st March 2025. Exact 28th February

Sometimes, we feel inclined to cause a stir or upheaval just to see what happens. We reach a point where we become bored with how predictable or devoid of opportunity a situation appears to have become and decide to shake things up a bit.

That's fine, provided we accept the consequences of doing so - and blame for it should fingers be pointed our direction! If you feel inclined to shake things up a bit in your relationship world, then feel free to do so.

Be aware though that action will always cause a reaction and you will need to accept responsibility for change you instigate. Be sure you want change before you take the action you're considering taking now.

What would make you happier? Everyone has a list of sorts that contains what would make us feel more comfortable or at ease with life. Would more money be on your list? What about an improvement in your personal and emotional or romantic life?

It seems that good news is winging its way to you that is bound to bring more than just a smile on your face. To receive it, all you must do is show some effort to embrace it. Where your relationships are concerned, your newly-found 'feel good factor' might be infectious!

Transiting Saturn Squares your natal Neptune

As people, we change, but sometimes, we forget to tell others, particularly those closest to us.

Human beings are complex creatures, so how can we possibly expect our relationships with each other to be straightforward? Bear this in mind where at least one complex relationship or arrangement in your world is concerned. Change might be noticeable and what's altering can't be ignored. Neither should it be a cause for consolation.

Your attitude toward certain people and possibly one person in particular needs retuning. To progress or strengthen your relationships will require you to be more willing to take other people as they really are and not who you would ideally like them to be.

Don't resent what is shifting between you and anyone close to you. You needn't fear losing anyone or anything you're keen to cling to. You will, however, have to accept a dynamic is shifting and resisting this will only complicate matters further.

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Moon from 5th to 7th March 2025. Exact 6th March

We're told it is better to say nothing and let the world suspect we're a fool than open our mouths and confirm any suspicions. Nobody is implying you are a fool.

However, a risk exists now that, through saying more than you ought to, you are putting yourself in a situation that could leave you red-faced or with a face covered with proverbial egg.

Confusion reigns supreme now, and while you have a valid point to make to you-know-who, you could find your jaw dropping in amazement at how they misinterpret what you're saying. There are times when we must speak up. There are also times when it wisest to say nothing. Now is such a time.

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Jupiter from 6th to 9th March 2025. Exact 8th March

We're sometimes told to be 'careful what we wish for.' Rarely do any of us make wishes flippantly or without some level of consideration. If we believe something is worth wishing for, then it gets added to the list because we have at least one reason to believe we want it.

In your relationship world now, you are easily influenced but what you're expecting is likely to happen – so expect the best! Don't allow yourself to be influenced negatively.

It is important though that your expectations are reasonable. Don't get carried away with too many ideas about what you want or what might make your world vastly better. Focus on what you know you want, need and why you want and need it. That message alone will help to ensure you attain it.

There's no future in archaeology. Archaeologists aren't concerned about the future; it's the past they want to know more about. Neither do archaeologists have any interest in altering history, but they are keen to help with altering the future through what can be learned about the past.

There is a curious link between your past, present, and future now. Something from your past is playing a key role in what is happening to you presently and influencing your attitude toward the future in some way.

You're likely feeling under pressure of sorts and could be inclined to be a bit argumentative with a certain individual.

Also, you may even be inclined to be a bit too quick to bend or even break a rule that you have adhered to for a long time, just to see what the result might be or in the hope it accelerates a plan close to your heart.

Don't be impatient. Look closely at how similar what happened previously is to what is happening now – and how you can truly influence the future based on your knowledge of both.

Transiting Saturn Trines your natal Ascendant

Relationships always involve 'give and take.' When we give, it puts someone else in a position to take. Provided the balance between the two is correct and both sides are happy with how much giving and taking is being done, then all is usually fine.

It is the balance of giving and taking in an area of your personal world that needs assessing now, particularly how willing you might be to take on more than your fair share.

It could be possible someone has grown very used to you giving and putting your foot down and explaining why you're not inclined to give as much in future could cause you to appear selfish or unreasonable. You're not selfish or unreasonable. The cold, harsh fact is, someone might have grown a bit too accustomed to your willingness to give or placate them.

A sensible, calm and mature conversation needs to be had. If you can make your point sensitively and diplomatically, then a new precedent can be set, and a new and understood way forward can be agreed.

From time to time, we all experience Eureka Moments. When this happens, we tend to discover that a mental obstacle has been removed and replaced with clarity.

In an area of your personal world, you can expect such a development likely to comprise strong and solid thinking and where difficult decisions can be made swiftly and accurately. This is a time to apply self-control and perseverance but, if you can muster both, then you'll find yourself superbly placed to find an original - and even innovative – solution to an ongoing problem.

Be receptive to clarity trying to make its way to you now and it will arrive. When it does, you will know precisely what your next move should be.

Sometimes, we view mistakes as something to be avoided at all costs. We go out of our way to ensure they don't happen because we see them as the ultimate setback. However, we should see mistakes as essential steps in a learning process and stepping stones to progress we yearn to make.

The progress you yearn to make now within your relationship world is important to you. It deserves respect you're keen to give it and also deserves the success you want to achieve. Whether or not you achieve either or both depends entirely on how seriously you want either or both.

Aim at nothing, and you're guaranteed to hit it. Give what matters most to you time, attention and effort, and you stand to be both amazed and delighted by what you achieve.

In medieval times, royal announcements were made with a flourish of trumpets. This not only served to ensure the attention of all royal subjects was received but gave the announcement a certain level of prestige.

The indications are of many eyes being upon you in some way now and willingness on the part of others to hear what you have to say or announce. Trust that you don't need to make a grand entrance or gesture to gain attention now. Say what you want and need to say in the knowledge that your audience is a very receptive one.

The word 'passion' has several uses and connotations. We also know when the time is right to invest energy in a plan or pursuit and it is the need to give your all to something combined with impatience or urgency that could be boosting passion in some way now.

Ideas, suggestions, and situations could be coming thick and fast now which may not be helping matters. Where your relationship with a certain person is concerned, you're likely to need to show restraint to avoid a confrontation or making an ill-thought-through proposal or suggestion.

Slow down and assess if what you're planning is deserving of energy you're inclined to give it. If it is, then give it your all and don't look back. If you have reservations, then trust they exist for a good reason.

Mercury transits your natal 10th house from 28th April 2025 to 20th May 2025

You might have noticeably enhanced authoritative qualities now and communicating or negotiating with anyone in authority could be a breeze. However, a sense of restlessness could urge you to keep changing settings or activities to keep your mind stimulated and challenged. You want to bring fresh energy to conversations or possibly within the workplace because you enjoy the stimulation that comes from doing so. You might have no issue with communicating your professional ambitions, and the confidence in which you do so could leave others in no doubt about your passion and conviction. Might someone connected with your career find this to be very attractive? Absolutely!

The word 'worry' is, interestingly, derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'weirgan' which means 'to strangulate.' We all know how worrying about something is counterproductive yet somehow manage to continue doing it.

In your relationship world, you could be identifying a reason to worry or feel a sense of panic. It's possible a fear is being nurtured. Even if you feel such feelings are justified and very real, circumstances are encouraging you now to accept that an issue needs to be faced and dealt with confidently.

It requires action, not fed with fear. You can tackle what needs tackling and, provided you're willing to bring the issue out into the light where it can be seen clearly and put in place a strategy to resolve it, then success is assured.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Neptune from 4th to 6th May 2025. Exact 5th May

Every day and within every situation we encounter, there is beauty and magic to be seen. It can take strength and courage to see what is less beautiful or magical sometimes and you have recently had to summon strength and courage to accept something in your world.

Your outlook, particularly where your world of relationships is concerned, is one of clarity, understanding, and positivity.

You are in a much better position now to make a choice than you were recently and, through being better informed now than you were, can expect to have your spirits lifted enormously. That doesn't mean every answer you seek to a confusing or difficult situation will become available, but you will gain enough information shortly to be able to proceed confidently and feel more reassured.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Ascendant from 5th to 7th May 2025. Exact 6th May

It's amazing how simply leaving one word out of a sentence can change it dramatically. When we're trying to make a point or convey ideas to others, then doing so successfully relies entirely upon others grasping and fully understanding the point we're making.

We know, from experience, that people don't always understand what we're trying to tell them despite our efforts to do all we can to ensure they do. If what you're trying to convey to a certain person – or group of people – appears to be hard work, then you need to rethink how you're conveying it. Remove all assumption from the equation.

Start again if you feel you must do so. You can save considerable hassle and frustration by doing both if you sense it is necessary.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mercury from 12th to 13th May 2025. Exact 13th May

We often resent having no options available to us. Then, we resent having too many. We like having a choice, but not too much choice.

It is through having a bit too much choice in your relationship world now that is causing you to make what can only be described as a controversial decision – and making that is likely to bring about a controversial result!

Avoid giving time and attention to whatever or whoever isn't as worthy of it. With little effort, you can identify what or whom is worthy of your attention and, from there, you can make a decision that is less likely to cause tongues wagging.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mars from 15th to 17th May 2025. Exact 16th May

We tend to regret what we don't do in life. Even when we're in the throes of worry or confusion about a decision we've made, rarely do we focus our concern on the decision itself.

It is what we fear the result will be or our belief that we've made a wrong choice that causes the most problems. Where your relationship with a certain person is concerned, you have taken action in some way and could feel a mistake has been made.

It's time for you to summon self-discipline, discrimination, and determination combined with a healthy dose of faith in the fact that what you have instigated can only be beneficial.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Sun from 15th to 17th May 2025. Exact 16th May

Do you turn the other cheek? Do you ignore provocation? Doing either will require much self-control. It will also require faith on your part because the act of ignoring such a bothersome factor is one that is unlikely be done easily. If you want to involve yourself in a pointless debate now, then you can.

However, all the indications are, where tension exists between you and a certain person, you ought to avoid a drama that is better left alone. Something more constructive needs your time and attention. Look closely at what is far more simple, sweet and clearer and focus on that.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Venus from 16th to 17th May 2025. Exact 17th May

Does the word 'genius' get used more today than at other times throughout history? Think about how fantastic inventions were many years ago that have become accepted and taken for granted today.

Surely, something created by someone else that stands the test of time through acceptance by so many people is worthy of the accolade 'genius'? It is how you are likely to apply ingenuity now that put you in a wonderfully strong position.

It seems that comfort is winging its way to you and most likely in a material or financial sense. But real, long-lasting comfort is likely to come from you devising a clever plan and pursuing a wonderful idea and doing either or both will, undoubtedly, enhance your relationship with someone else, or present you with one that could arguably be heaven sent.

Mercury transits your natal 11th house from 20th May 2025 to 5th June 2025

You could be increasingly turned-on by the spirit of collaboration. You're keen to encourage the constant sharing of ideas and see no sense in concealing any idea or vision because, regardless of how impractical or nonsensical they might appear initially, ideas deserve to be shared. You could excel at brainstorming now, and although you could speak your mind freely in group situations, it's important to ensure you're not the one doing all the talking. With your ability to express yourself in ways that encourage and facilitate teamwork, you could excel at networking or making social connections. That little bit more cheeky charm you possess might be enough to attract one person's attention, too!

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Uranus from 22nd to 24th May 2025. Exact 23rd May

We often hear people speak of something called 'Murphy's Law.' This old saying applies to whatever can go wrong, going wrong. Such situations usually take us by surprise, and such a surprise is not usually one we welcome.

You can, if you wish, become despondent or resentful about a certain development but, before you do, look at how it is unlikely to have been prevented. You know something wasn't 'right' or needed improving so look closely at how a setback is spurring you on in some way.

You have no reason to feel depressed, defeated or desperate. It is time to let go of an old expectation and focus on numerous benefits attached to starting afresh in some way.

You're in the throes of reassessing and re-evaluating what - and whom - matters most to you and will soon see how gloriously bright your future is.

If one person takes on board or has faith in what we're telling them, then that bodes well for others doing similarly. If, in a group situation, we find that something we're suggesting or proposing is met with receptiveness and approval, then there's clearly relevance to what we're saying.

You can make real progress now by conveying to more than one person in your world something you feel is important and needs to be said. If you've had reservations about speaking up previously for any reason, then abandon them now.

You have a point to make, can make it confidently and expect it to be met with agreement if you're willing to try.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Moon from 26th to 28th May 2025. Exact 27th May

We're all blessed with instincts. We use them from time to time and, when we do, find that they provide us with interesting and, at times, valuable insight. If you're willing to use yours now, then you stand to gain insight into a situation that you may feel you're kidding yourself about.

You're not deceiving yourself, and your assessment of a situation and someone's involvement with it (or their motivation) is likely to be accurate. You and a certain person need to have an exchange of sorts, and this is likely to involve a tense and possibly emotional conversation.

But even if verbal dialogue isn't forthcoming, there is much you're able to learn now through subtle signs and signals. Provided you're willing to be open and share tactfully and sensitively what you can share, then someone else is likely to do the same.

Most leading fairy tale characters tend to live 'happily ever after.' Whether or not they did is something we will never know. All that we know is, one chapter in their respective worlds ended and another began and, in your world now, something awkward or tense has ended, and something better is beginning.

If you're not already seeing evidence that life is becoming sweeter, noticeably more sensible and logical, then you will soon enough. This can only have a very positive knock-on effect to your relationships and with one person in particular.

Positive and encouraging news is on its way to you, and this should help you to strike a deal or implement an arrangement of agreement that has needed discussion for some time. All you need to do is be receptive to making the positive change.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mercury from 27th to 28th May 2025. Exact 28th May

We're sometimes accused of 'kidding ourselves.' We often have good reason to resent such a comment. After all, why would someone else be so quick to draw a conclusion about how they feel we've drawn an incorrect or inaccurate conclusion? Where your relationship world is concerned, you have a very good reason to believe you know the truth about something someone else is inclined to think you've grasped the wrong end of the proverbial stick about.

Stick with what you know to be right and real. The truth deserves respect now, and you're in a perfect position to support it, based on what your intuition is telling you.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Saturn from 27th to 28th May 2025. Exact 28th May

You feel much more positive than you have of late. It is though, a case of striking while the proverbial iron is hot.

There is something you need to learn about yourself and, through doing so and learning something valuable, you will be in an excellent position to move a plan forward that involves a project – or person – close to your heart.

Prepare to see evidence of how loved and respected you are in the eyes of certain people and one person in particular. It's time to address something you've chosen to ignore and once you take a brave step forward, life will, in many ways, become noticeably easier and sweeter.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Venus from 30th May 2025 to 1st June 2025. Exact 31st May

A relationship needs to be redefined now, but you might be surprised at what relationship you're expected to redefine. It is your relationship with life that needs to be assessed.

It is also your relationship with bits of paper and metal we use to purchase things with that needs new perspective put upon it. What is it you're expected to do? Well, that's easy. All you need to do where life and money are concerned is not take either so seriously.

That's not to say you don't have issues surrounding both that do need addressing. You're being encouraged to address what cannot be ignored – but you're also being encouraged to accept that, one action has been taken, worrying is an exercise in futility.

Face what needs facing. Sort what needs sorting, and life will undoubtedly become noticeably sweeter and less tense.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Sun from 30th to 31st May 2025. Exact 31st May

People often speak about being 'stuck in ruts.' It's interesting how many people are willing to accept that's how things must be. They convince themselves that a rut they find themselves in will require more effort than they're prepared to give to remove themselves from it, or they fear change that will come as a result of doing so.

You are being presented with an opportunity to instigate a change that will get you out of a rut that you may feel you're stuck in.

It's possible you can remove yourself from a tedious drama and, where your relationship with someone is concerned, introduce life where tedium is all too present. You have more choices than you thought you did and that's precisely what needs to be understood now.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 30th to 31st May 2025. Exact 31st May

Back in medieval times, kings and queens had Court Jesters, individuals whose role involved entertaining the king, queen and all directly associated with them. It was in Jesters' best interests to ensure the king or queen laughed when they were supposed to. Otherwise, Jesters often met with an untimely end.

Think though, what might have happened if one poor Jester was sent to his death and the king or queen fell about laughing having 'got' a joke after it was too late? It's important that you make no assumption now about anyone understanding a point you're trying to convey.

Don't take the fact that they're nodding as acceptance or understanding. It seems there is a need for you to take time to ensure you're not being misunderstood. Take time to ensure you are.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Pluto from 3rd to 5th June 2025. Exact 4th June

We can be surrounded by many people yet feel alone. Feeling alone can be heightened enormously when we're struggling because support we need from one or two people not being forthcoming. This means you're having to tackle a certain issue singlehandedly and aren't exactly over the moon with having to do so.

The good news is, you are very capable of tackling on your own what needs to be tackled. It is the discovery of a certain piece of information that will boost your confidence.

Once done, you will feel confident enough to face certain issues or individuals you've feared facing. You'll be more inclined to bring out into the open what has been conveniently brushed under a proverbial carpet.

This new-found confidence, combined with real desire to bring about a significant change to a certain situation, will result in very positive and necessary transformation where you have long wanted to see it.

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Neptune from 3rd to 5th June 2025. Exact 4th June

Will a little bit of what you fancy do you good? That depends on how certain you are about repercussions or consequences of pursuing or accepting it.

Even if someone is less than honest with you, it is important you are honest with yourself now. Even if someone is being very persuasive and encouraging you to reconsider your options in some way, be 'live' to the possibility that you could end up kidding yourself.

Desire could overthrow logic, but the final choice is yours. Make a decision based on what you know to be real, solid and safe and ensure wisdom plays a very big part as well.

Mercury transits your natal 12th house from 5th to 22nd June 2025

You might not feel very communicative at this time and possibly feel unsure of your abilities to express yourself clearly. However, you could be an excellent confidante and can encourage others or one person, in particular, to connect with your discreet qualities. You might also feel more trusting toward what your instincts tell you as opposed to relying on facts. You're intrigued by ideas that are presented visually, emotionally, and imaginatively. Conversations could also surround spiritual-based topics, and ethereal discussions could enter very deep territory if you allow them to.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Moon from 9th to 11th June 2025. Exact 11th June

If you're aware of a distinct feeling of confusion, then welcome it. It is uncertainty you're feeling that is likely to encourage you to question one or two areas or aspects of your world that could do with being questioned. Be careful though, of how much time and effort you give toward questioning whatever – or whoever – it is.

You could be at risk of making a bigger issue out of something than is justified. To you, an issue is big. To someone else, it's likely to be less important, so by all means, ask questions to get to the bottom of a certain matter, but be alert to when might be a good time to stop.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Saturn from 10th to 12th June 2025. Exact 11th June

What makes someone an 'expert' at something? Is it the authoritative way in which they speak? Is it because their appearance reassures us that they know what they're talking about? If they tell themselves something enough times, then they start believing it.

If we're told something enough times, then we start believing it, too – especially if what's being told to us is being told BY us! What matters now is your ability to draw a conclusion based on personal, previous experience – not what someone else is trying to convince you of.

Something from your past needs revisiting and re-examining now. To make a very positive change, all you need to do is accept that there is something you don't know or know enough about.

Whatever happened previously will help you identify this and, once you identify it, you will begin to ask questions about something from your past that has confused you that will then lead to a very valuable discovery.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Jupiter from 10th to 12th June 2025. Exact 12th June

If you're not seeing eye-to-eye with a certain person or are aware that tension is escalating between you and someone else, then coming developments are going to do much to help.

That doesn't necessarily mean that such help won't bring with it further tension because a certain situation might need to worsen slightly before it can be improved. Think of the saying about the need to break eggs sometimes!

There appears to be uncertainty between you and someone else about an arrangement and where this goes from here. You are not as trapped as you might believe you are though.

If you're willing to make progress and improve an arrangement that may no longer be valid and in need of updating, then a superb opportunity exists to do so now. The key to achieving this lies with you not seeing an issue as being bigger or more daunting than it really is.

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Mars from 13th to 15th June 2025. Exact 14th June

How are you supposed to gauge a certain person's mood or attitude now? It's difficult because people rarely say what they really mean. Someone's words are either coated in sugar or protected to a point where deciphering their message is difficult if not impossible.

They are either noticeably sweeter, or their words contain an unmistakable hint of aggression, and it might even be more than a hint at times. Believe that you're not kidding yourself or seeing or hearing something that doesn't exist.

Summon the courage to ask someone to make clearer what they're saying, and you will remove the mystery with less effort than you thought would be required.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal MidHeaven from 13th to 15th June 2025. Exact 14th June

Some television commercials can be extremely annoying. Companies who make commercials and those whose products or services they represent are unconcerned about this.

As far as they're concerned, they have a valid point to make and will make as often as they see fit until they're reassured an advertising campaign has been successful or budgets have run out.

They often fail to understand that their incessant intrusion does little more than discourage many of us from buying their products or services. Bear this in mind with a point you want to make now.

You might believe making a point repeatedly will result in the person or people you wish to influence succumbing, but this plan can backfire if you're not careful. You'll gain much support if you make your point sensibly, succinctly and sensitively.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Venus from 14th to 16th June 2025. Exact 15th June

People employed in the financial world often tell us that the past should not be a guideline for the future when investing. Anyone shrewd enough to consider investing in such companies is usually aware of that fact.

Money, they say makes the world go around and if we decide we need money or more of it, then there are options available to us or steps we can take that investment of effort will change.

What about love though? Can we bring about love or more love in our world by making a similar effort? There's enough money in the world for anyone who wants some or more of it but is there a finite amount of love available to us during our lifetimes? Prepare to discover how no such limit exists through being very aware of how loved you are.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Pluto from 19th to 21st June 2025. Exact 20th June

Beauty, we know, is skin deep. However, particularly in society today, such emphasis is put on making what we see so appealing. In the same way we know we shouldn't judge books by covers, you may be placing too much emphasis on a quality or factor which is not as valuable or as relevant as it seems.

If you want to achieve or attain something that is truly and deeply satisfying, then you need to care less about something that doesn't deserve the levels of attention you appear keen to give it.

To bring about a much-needed change in this respect, a tense or potentially difficult conversation needs to be had. You might even discover you possess the courage to say a few things you've been afraid to say or chose, for reasons known best to yourself, to keep hidden.

Provided you're willing to see an unsatisfactory or disguised situation for what it is, be resolute toward improving it in whatever way you deem fit and say what you know needs to be said from the depths of your heart, then you can be assured you will have nothing whatsoever to be apologetic or regretful about.

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Ascendant from 21st to 23rd June 2025. Exact 22nd June

If someone is to agree with what we're proposing, then it helps if they're in a positive and receptive frame of mind. Children learn from a young age when to time their requests with adults and you're encouraged to believe in a perfect position to do similarly now.

You're urged to put forth a suggestion, proposal or to simply convey your thoughts or ideas to a certain person where conditions previously may have made doing so difficult.

Choose your words, say what you need to say, and you'll likely find your words not only flow but are received in a much more positive way than you expected.

Mercury transits your natal 1st house from 22nd June 2025 to 25th August 2025

Your youthful and potentially mischievous charm could be extra-alluring at this time. However, you might need to dial back any sense of restlessness or tendency to move from one conversational topic to another randomly. You're blessed with an enhanced ability to convey yourself clearly, but others might appreciate a bit more willingness on your part to listen, too. You could emit infectious energy when sharing ideas, plans or projects that inspire you. There could also be something alluring about your keenness to take the lead with pursuing any idea or plan that captures your - and possibly someone else's - imagination.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Uranus from 22nd to 24th June 2025. Exact 23rd June

Sometimes, we feel inclined to cause a stir or upheaval just to see what happens. We reach a point where we become bored with how predictable or devoid of opportunity a situation appears to have become and decide to shake things up a bit.

That's fine, provided we accept the consequences of doing so - and blame for it should fingers be pointed our direction! If you feel inclined to shake things up a bit in your relationship world, then feel free to do so.

Be aware though that action will always cause a reaction and you will need to accept responsibility for change you instigate. Be sure you want change before you take the action you're considering taking now.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Moon from 28th June 2025 to 1st July 2025. Exact 30th June

When can you last recall words flowing freely to the point where you surprised yourself with how easily you said them?

You should find making your point or conveying your feelings, at least with words, considerably easier now.

If there's something you've wanted to say to a certain person in any way, then if you're willing to make an effort to do so now, you're likely to find that words and emotions flow.

Are you familiar with the phrase 'Eureka Moment'? We all experience them from time to time and usually rejoice in the fact that a moment of clarity has brought about a much-needed revelation or insight.

You're being helped to see a certain way forward where a situation between you and someone else is concerned and what should happen next. Interestingly though, the more insight and understanding you gain, the more questions you feel inclined to ask. Try to keep these at bay, at least for the time being.

There are implications surrounding what you're discovering now but don't underestimate how powerful your powers of persuasive communication are. You won't struggle to share what intrigues and fascinates you.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Saturn from 29th June 2025 to 2nd July 2025. Exact 1st July

Sometimes, for an easier life, we can be a bit too quick to simply agree with someone else because we don't believe we have the energy, inclination or ability to disagree with them. Because enthusiasm can be infectious, we sometimes believe it to be easier to latch on to someone else's enthusiasm for something rather than find our own reasons for being fired up about pursuing something.

Before you allow yourself to be influenced by someone's enthusiasm for a plan or arrangement, consider what your inner voice is telling you.

You don't need to follow in ways you believe you must. You can take the lead and are right to trust your own judgment about something. Take a moment to step back and make a decision on your own without pressure coming from you-know-who.

Experienced magicians can impress others because of countless hours of practicing. The same can be said about musicians. To do something impressive usually takes considerable time to perfect. How frustrating it must be for them when some people overlook how much time and effort has been invested to perfect their talent or skill.

In your relationship world now, you can not only make something wonderful happen but can also impress more than one person with how you do it. You're about to make a decision that alters an unsatisfactory situation beyond recognition. The process though is not as instant as it may appear.

You've had to go through an intense trial and error period, but now that you have perfected, in your mind, a way forward, you cannot fail to impress others - including yourself!

There have been many popular songs that have focused on difference of opinion. One person says or believes one thing. Another person says or believes something else. Interestingly, such songs have only highlighted the problem without proposing a solution.

Where you and a certain person in your relationship world are potentially locking horns now, might this be due to a clash of opinion? The key to resolving this lies with continued and open communication. You're both closer to reaching a compromise than you believe.

It's fine, natural and acceptable for someone to adopt a contrary position but if success you want to see happen relies on them supporting your ideas or proposals, then with gentle persuasion and reiterating benefits to them of what you're proposing, you can achieve it.

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Sun from 6th to 9th July 2025. Exact 8th July

Something has become complicated. It has probably been complex for some time but what you're about to discover is how uncomplicated it really is. This is due to two things happening.

The first surrounds you applying imagination and determination to get to the bottom of whatever-it-is or at least be prepared to look at it and explore it in ways you may have been unwilling to do of late. The second involves your confidence rising as a result and a clear mind attained as a result of that.

Where your relationship with a certain person is involved or how you would like it to be, clarity on a new and much-needed level is coming and so too is an opportunity to make something wonderful happen.

Your ability to think quickly or come up with rapid, clever solutions is heightened wonderfully now, and this can boost your self-esteem. However, your desire for mental stimulation could be seen as intense to those you share ideas or visions with. Just because someone doesn't connect instantly with your intellectual vibe doesn't mean they won't do so if you try to dial back your fervent communicative approach. Anyone wanting financial advice, or ideas related to making or saving money could benefit from your input. You're one very smooth negotiator now, and this can be an ability that someone in your world could find very reassuring – and attractive!

There is much to be said about adopting a 'right here, right now' attitude now. As keen as you might be to ensure something is put in place now that will facilitate a much happier and brighter tomorrow, it is what's happening here and now, particularly where your relationship world is concerned, that needs the most attention.

Don't succumb to the need to hasten a process that is unfolding in its own way and time. Despite how results and progress you wish were more encouraging or visible appear somewhere in the far-off distance, it's important you trust that you are in the throes of a very positive and transformative process. Soon, your current situation will appear vastly different.

That, however, is going to be the result of the process working on your behalf that cannot be rushed. Focus instead on here and now in the knowledge that change you yearn for is coming, and very soon.

Every day and within every situation we encounter, there is beauty and magic to be seen. It can take strength and courage to see what is less beautiful or magical sometimes and you have recently had to summon strength and courage to accept something in your world.

Your outlook, particularly where your world of relationships is concerned, is one of clarity, understanding, and positivity.

You are in a much better position now to make a choice than you were recently and, through being better informed now than you were, can expect to have your spirits lifted enormously. That doesn't mean every answer you seek to a confusing or difficult situation will become available, but you will gain enough information shortly to be able to proceed confidently and feel more reassured.

For us to 'fix' something, we need to identify in what way or ways it is broken. In the same way a doctor cannot give a diagnosis or prescription without being clear what remedy is needed, we can only fix what needs fixing if we understand what needs fixing and why.

In your relationship world, a drama is unfolding. It is through knowing how a certain situation can be adjusted or rearranged that offers the greatest and most effective way to improve it.

Ignore the desire to be somewhere else. Removing yourself is not an option or solution. The solution surrounds more meaning or depth given to a tired situation, and that's precisely what you can bring.

Have faith in the fact that you can make a situation better and time is on your side to achieve this.

Negotiation should always be a two-way process. If done properly, negotiation should result in both sides believing they have gained and reached a mutually satisfactory result.

Some people believe that negotiation must involve one side 'getting one over' the other or hoodwinking them in some way.

Where you and someone else are concerned, there is something to be negotiated, and an agreement needs to be reached. If what is discussed is discussed fairly, then both you and someone else could benefit – or profit – enormously from the process.

We tend to regret what we don't do in life. Even when we're in the throes of worry or confusion about a decision we've made, rarely do we focus our concern on the decision itself.

It is what we fear the result will be or our belief that we've made a wrong choice that causes the most problems. Where your relationship with a certain person is concerned, you have taken action in some way and could feel a mistake has been made.

It's time for you to summon self-discipline, discrimination, and determination combined with a healthy dose of faith in the fact that what you have instigated can only be beneficial.

Mercury transits your natal 3rd house from 8th to 25th September 2025

Your ability to absorb and process information could make you a perfect student or an ideal teacher in some way. This can also make you a superb 'sounding board' for anyone who is struggling to come up with an answer or solution in their world. You bring a strong logic to thought processes now and your ability to see the different sides of any situation or story not only makes you interesting, but it also draws others to you. Your interest in local surroundings or your community might increase as well. Interacting with others who either live locally or who share your community-based interests could result in a meeting of like-minds!

If something's too good to be true, then we usually have at least one very good reason to doubt it. When something becomes available to us instantly or with little or no effort on our part, we first experience delight that gets replaced with suspicion.

Be wary now of such a situation presenting itself to you now and this probably surrounds a certain person in your world being economical with the truth.

Something in your world doesn't need 'fixing' in the way you're being led to believe, and neither does it need the level of complication that will undoubtedly arise though believing what you're being told now.

Stay focused on what you know works, makes you happy and is safe. Don't deviate from a plan just because a seemingly more attractive option is making itself available.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 13th to 15th September 2025. Exact 15th September

If one person takes on board or has faith in what we're telling them, then that bodes well for others doing similarly. If, in a group situation, we find that something we're suggesting or proposing is met with receptiveness and approval, then there's clearly relevance to what we're saying.

You can make real progress now by conveying to more than one person in your world something you feel is important and needs to be said. If you've had reservations about speaking up previously for any reason, then abandon them now.

You have a point to make, can make it confidently and expect it to be met with agreement if you're willing to try.

Grass often appears greener on the other side of fences. Much often appears preferable in another place – or time! Is there something you wish you could turn the clock back now to do differently than you did way back when? In the same way it is unhelpful to be pondering the past, and what you could have done differently, it is equally unhelpful to be in too much of a rush to alter the future.

It is what's happening here, and now that needs your attention and deserves to be enjoyed and celebrated, despite how a situation may appear.

You're on the brink of a very valuable and helpful discovery where your relationship world or with a certain person is concerned. Let what's unfolding continue to do so in the knowledge that you will soon have something to be very glad of.

We often hear people talk about 'bottling emotions.' Does this pictorial analogy hold any relevance for you now? There appears to be an emotion you need to express. It also appears that you have some concerns about whether anyone – or one person in particular – will acknowledge or listen to whatever it is you need to make clear.

Making your feelings clear will not only make you feel better, but it will also bring a revelation. You'll gain valuable insight into a situation that has confused you and will understand something that you've possibly struggled to understand previously.

So, don't hold back. It's in your and someone else's best interests that you release what needs to be released now.

When in restaurants, some people don't bother to read menus. They know what they want, possibly because they've had it before and what satisfied them previously is likely to do so again. You're now presented with an opportunity to alter an aspect of your relationship with a certain person. Before you can do so, you need to see what the celestial menu includes.

If you're willing to look beyond the obvious, then you'll see how it is possible to put in place a plan that can change more than what you believe is worthy of your attention. You have options, and that's what's being made clear – or clearer – now.

Before you take action that you're being encouraged to take, take time to review all of the options on the menu because you're bound to see something you like that you probably hadn't considered!

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mercury from 20th to 21st September 2025. Exact 21st September

We're sometimes accused of 'kidding ourselves.' We often have good reason to resent such a comment. After all, why would someone else be so quick to draw a conclusion about how they feel we've drawn an incorrect or inaccurate conclusion? Where your relationship world is concerned, you have a very good reason to believe you know the truth about something someone else is inclined to think you've grasped the wrong end of the proverbial stick about.

Stick with what you know to be right and real. The truth deserves respect now, and you're in a perfect position to support it, based on what your intuition is telling you.

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Saturn from 20th to 21st September 2025. Exact 21st September

Scriptwriters often create characters who have something called a 'wound.' This is not usually a physical injury; it is something that happened to the character, often before the story began, that hurt them.

Through this, they learned much about life, how it works and their place within it. As the story progresses, the character must return a situation they have dreaded ever experiencing again, and this involves confronting their fear about what hurt them previously. Somewhere in your world, you have to do the same now.

There is something you must learn through revisiting something from your past. See this as an essential step forward toward a fine future, not a backward step. What you discover now through whatever happened previously will prove invaluable from this point onward.

The word 'passion' has several uses and connotations. We also know when the time is right to invest energy in a plan or pursuit and it is the need to give your all to something combined with impatience or urgency that could be boosting passion in some way now.

Ideas, suggestions, and situations could be coming thick and fast now which may not be helping matters. Where your relationship with a certain person is concerned, you're likely to need to show restraint to avoid a confrontation or making an ill-thought-through proposal or suggestion.

Slow down and assess if what you're planning is deserving of energy you're inclined to give it. If it is, then give it your all and don't look back. If you have reservations, then trust they exist for a good reason.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Sun from 23rd to 25th September 2025. Exact 25th September

People often speak about being 'stuck in ruts.' It's interesting how many people are willing to accept that's how things must be. They convince themselves that a rut they find themselves in will require more effort than they're prepared to give to remove themselves from it, or they fear change that will come as a result of doing so.

You are being presented with an opportunity to instigate a change that will get you out of a rut that you may feel you're stuck in.

It's possible you can remove yourself from a tedious drama and, where your relationship with someone is concerned, introduce life where tedium is all too present. You have more choices than you thought you did and that's precisely what needs to be understood now.

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal MidHeaven from 23rd to 25th September 2025. Exact 25th September

Nowadays, it can be more difficult than it used to be to speak with individuals in companies. Many have voice mail or answer machines they use to screen calls.

There seems to be a noticeable increase in gatekeeper-style secretaries and receptionists who diligently assess each call and interrogate callers about the purpose of their call.

To make progress sometimes, imagination is required to get past such obstacles. So too, is sensitivity and courtesy. To make a point you wish to make, you're going to have to apply imagination. Someone is likely to be receptive to what you're proposing, but they just don't know it yet.

That's why it's your job to convey yourself in a way you'd probably want someone to convey themselves to you.

Mercury transits your natal 4th house from 25th September 2025 to 19th October 2025

The mental stimulation you need could have a curious connection with your home or possibly family members. You could feel especially keen to encourage communication within the family circle but might find your efforts to do so aren't reciprocated in ways you hoped. This could also be a time when your mind is cast to the past, perhaps to memorable people or previous episodes in your life. There's something very traditional about your thought processes now, and your sentimental qualities could be seen as very attractive by someone who appreciates the value you place on your home and family.

A moment of clarity is imminent. So too is a breath-taking transformation. With change imminent, you are understandably feeling some level of apprehension and, if you want to experience less, then it's essential you look closely at what – or whom – you're so anxious to retain control of. A situation in your relationship world needs reassessing and re-evaluating. This process will, undoubtedly, result in a revelation and a less than desirable situation becoming very different in a positive way once this revelation occurs.

This won't happen on its own though. It will require you to take action in a way you've possibly been reluctant to take previously. Don't fear what is unfolding now.

Don't fear a need to ask for help where you need it, either. What's happening is necessary and extremely positive. Once your apprehension and uncertainty clear, you will not need reminding of this.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Neptune from 30th September 2025 to 2nd October 2025. Exact 1st October

Dreams and aspirations never really disappear if we don't achieve or attain them. Sometimes, newer ones take their place. Eventually, we discover that what mattered to us a long time ago remains important and become aware that we ought to give what once mattered our time and attention once again.

In your relationship world, something or someone that once mattered greatly to you is becoming a priority again in some way. An opportunity to focus once again on what - or whom - has never left the realms of your mind and heart is about to present itself.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Ascendant from 1st to 3rd October 2025. Exact 2nd October

It's amazing how simply leaving one word out of a sentence can change it dramatically. When we're trying to make a point or convey ideas to others, then doing so successfully relies entirely upon others grasping and fully understanding the point we're making.

We know, from experience, that people don't always understand what we're trying to tell them despite our efforts to do all we can to ensure they do. If what you're trying to convey to a certain person – or group of people – appears to be hard work, then you need to rethink how you're conveying it. Remove all assumption from the equation.

Start again if you feel you must do so. You can save considerable hassle and frustration by doing both if you sense it is necessary.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mercury from 8th to 10th October 2025. Exact 10th October

We often resent having no options available to us. Then, we resent having too many. We like having a choice, but not too much choice.

It is through having a bit too much choice in your relationship world now that is causing you to make what can only be described as a controversial decision – and making that is likely to bring about a controversial result!

Avoid giving time and attention to whatever or whoever isn't as worthy of it. With little effort, you can identify what or whom is worthy of your attention and, from there, you can make a decision that is less likely to cause tongues wagging.

Transiting Saturn Trines your natal Uranus

From time to time, we all experience Eureka Moments. When this happens, we tend to discover that a mental obstacle has been removed and replaced with clarity.

In an area of your personal world, you can expect such a development likely to comprise strong and solid thinking and where difficult decisions can be made swiftly and accurately. This is a time to apply self-control and perseverance but, if you can muster both, then you'll find yourself superbly placed to find an original - and even innovative – solution to an ongoing problem.

Be receptive to clarity trying to make its way to you now and it will arrive. When it does, you will know precisely what your next move should be.

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mars from 12th to 14th October 2025. Exact 14th October

How we choose to convey ourselves or make a point is often dictated by our mood or attitude at the time. If we're feeling resentful, aggrieved or angry, then we sometimes use a proverbial sledgehammer to crack a proverbial walnut when a much simpler and less confrontational way would have been best.

It's important you bear that in mind now. Your impatience to make a certain point might be underpinned with more aggression than you intend. Be diplomatic and ensure sensitivity plays a big part in whatever it is you feel the need to say to a certain person now.

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Sun from 13th to 15th October 2025. Exact 14th October

Do you turn the other cheek? Do you ignore provocation? Doing either will require much self-control. It will also require faith on your part because the act of ignoring such a bothersome factor is one that is unlikely be done easily. If you want to involve yourself in a pointless debate now, then you can.

However, all the indications are, where tension exists between you and a certain person, you ought to avoid a drama that is better left alone. Something more constructive needs your time and attention. Look closely at what is far more simple, sweet and clearer and focus on that.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Venus from 14th to 16th October 2025. Exact 15th October

People employed in the financial world often tell us that the past should not be a guideline for the future when investing. Anyone shrewd enough to consider investing in such companies is usually aware of that fact.

Money, they say makes the world go around and if we decide we need money or more of it, then there are options available to us or steps we can take that investment of effort will change.

What about love though? Can we bring about love or more love in our world by making a similar effort? There's enough money in the world for anyone who wants some or more of it but is there a finite amount of love available to us during our lifetimes? Prepare to discover how no such limit exists through being very aware of how loved you are.

Mercury transits your natal 5th house from 19th October 2025 to 28th December 2025

You might enjoy being guided by unpredictable thought processes, and these could play a part in you expressing yourself in intelligent and witty ways. Superficial chitchat is unlikely to interest you now as you prefer conversations or exchanges that truly stimulate the mind or are based around something genuinely interesting. Communication, whether written or spoken, acts as an outlet for creative self-expression. Your communicative style could be powerfully engaging – and delightfully romantic! This could be a time when you seek an audience, whether this involves allowing any entertaining talents to shine or applying your enhanced creativity to make learning a fun and enjoyable experience for others.

We tend to be very 'tuned in' to people who have a great deal to say but who don't appear to be able to back up what they're saying. Such people tend to simply regurgitate what they've been told and have never chosen to question the validity or relevance to what they're telling others.

However, some people appear to possess 'gift of the gab' and make sense when they speak. You can elevate your status in the eyes of certain people – or a certain person in particular – by speaking confidently and knowledgeably now.

You have something interesting and relevant to say. Don't feel otherwise.

Computers will always do as they're told. They can't think for themselves, even if it appears they can. Any decisions they make on our behalf are made according to a program. If 'X' occurs, then the computer knows to implement 'Y.'

With that in mind, consider certain conclusions you're reaching now. Are they being made in such a cold and calculated way? There's nothing wrong will applying logic to what needs sorting now.

However, logic needs to be mixed with what your heart is telling you and therein lies the reason for potential conflict. Your heart needs to play a bigger part in a decision you're making now.

Allow it more room to do so and the balance between what it is saying and what logic is saying will be restored. In your personal life now, that's precisely the balance that you need.

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Saturn from 3rd to 14th November 2025. Exact 5th November

Sometimes, for an easier life, we can be a bit too quick to simply agree with someone else because we don't believe we have the energy, inclination or ability to disagree with them. Because enthusiasm can be infectious, we sometimes believe it to be easier to latch on to someone else's enthusiasm for something rather than find our own reasons for being fired up about pursuing something.

Before you allow yourself to be influenced by someone's enthusiasm for a plan or arrangement, consider what your inner voice is telling you.

You don't need to follow in ways you believe you must. You can take the lead and are right to trust your own judgment about something. Take a moment to step back and make a decision on your own without pressure coming from you-know-who.

How frustrating it must be for them when some people overlook how much time and effort has been invested to perfect their talent or skill.

In your relationship world now, you can not only make something wonderful happen but can also impress more than one person with how you do it. You're about to make a decision that alters an unsatisfactory situation beyond recognition. The process though is not as instant as it may appear.

You've had to go through an intense trial and error period, but now that you have perfected, in your mind, a way forward, you cannot fail to impress others - including yourself!

Creating balance between giving and taking

Transiting Saturn Retrograde Trines your natal Ascendant

Relationships always involve 'give and take.' When we give, it puts someone else in a position to take. Provided the balance between the two is correct and both sides are happy with how much giving and taking is being done, then all is usually fine.

It is the balance of giving and taking in an area of your personal world that needs assessing now, particularly how willing you might be to take on more than your fair share.

It could be possible someone has grown very used to you giving and putting your foot down and explaining why you're not inclined to give as much in future could cause you to appear selfish or unreasonable. You're not selfish or unreasonable. The cold, harsh fact is, someone might have grown a bit too accustomed to your willingness to give or placate them.

A sensible, calm and mature conversation needs to be had. If you can make your point sensitively and diplomatically, then a new precedent can be set, and a new and understood way forward can be agreed.

A relationship needs to be redefined now, but you might be surprised at what relationship you're expected to redefine. It is your relationship with life that needs to be assessed.

It is also your relationship with bits of paper and metal we use to purchase things with that needs new perspective put upon it. What is it you're expected to do? Well, that's easy. All you need to do where life and money are concerned is not take either so seriously.

That's not to say you don't have issues surrounding both that do need addressing. You're being encouraged to address what cannot be ignored – but you're also being encouraged to accept that, one action has been taken, worrying is an exercise in futility.

Face what needs facing. Sort what needs sorting, and life will undoubtedly become noticeably sweeter and less tense.

Sometimes, we view mistakes as something to be avoided at all costs. We go out of our way to ensure they don't happen because we see them as the ultimate setback. However, we should see mistakes as essential steps in a learning process and stepping stones to progress we yearn to make.

The progress you yearn to make now within your relationship world is important to you. It deserves respect you're keen to give it and also deserves the success you want to achieve. Whether or not you achieve either or both depends entirely on how seriously you want either or both.

Aim at nothing, and you're guaranteed to hit it. Give what matters most to you time, attention and effort, and you stand to be both amazed and delighted by what you achieve.

There have been many popular songs that have focused on difference of opinion. One person says or believes one thing. Another person says or believes something else. Interestingly, such songs have only highlighted the problem without proposing a solution.

Where you and a certain person in your relationship world are potentially locking horns now, might this be due to a clash of opinion? The key to resolving this lies with continued and open communication. You're both closer to reaching a compromise than you believe.

It's fine, natural and acceptable for someone to adopt a contrary position but if success you want to see happen relies on them supporting your ideas or proposals, then with gentle persuasion and reiterating benefits to them of what you're proposing, you can achieve it.

As keen as you might be to ensure something is put in place now that will facilitate a much happier and brighter tomorrow, it is what's happening here and now, particularly where your relationship world is concerned, that needs the most attention.

Don't succumb to the need to hasten a process that is unfolding in its own way and time. Despite how results and progress you wish were more encouraging or visible appear somewhere in the far-off distance, it's important you trust that you are in the throes of a very positive and transformative process. Soon, your current situation will appear vastly different.

That, however, is going to be the result of the process working on your behalf that cannot be rushed. Focus instead on here and now in the knowledge that change you yearn for is coming, and very soon.

There's a saying about trying and trying again, if, at first, we don't succeed. There's another related saying that involves taking time to read instructions.

Trying and trying again is fine and can bring the desired result, but if we're struggling, does it not make sense to stop and assess where we're going wrong? Perhaps, much depends on how badly we really want to make something happen

It's time to consider how and why a dream or fantasy close to your heart doesn't seem any closer to manifesting despite your efforts. It's also time to consider if what you're pursuing is being done more out of habit than real, burning desire to achieve or attain it.

What was a priority once upon a time might not be as important to you now. Pursuing it might be done more out of determination or stubbornness than from within your heart.

This is a time of reassessment and reflection, but the process promises to be helpful, valuable, enlightening and eventually reassuring.

If anyone wants to learn to master the art of multi-tasking or juggling tasks and chores impressively, then they could learn much from you at this time. Your thought processes could be far more advanced than others when it comes to identifying the most logical way of completing something or devising clever methodologies. Mental stimulation or learning are cures for boredom that comes from day-to-day routines. However, you could be inclined to put others' needs above your own, and this unselfish quality is unlikely to go unnoticed or unappreciated by others, or one person in particular.

If you're aware of a distinct feeling of confusion, then welcome it. It is uncertainty you're feeling that is likely to encourage you to question one or two areas or aspects of your world that could do with being questioned. Be careful though, of how much time and effort you give toward questioning whatever – or whoever – it is.

You could be at risk of making a bigger issue out of something than is justified. To you, an issue is big. To someone else, it's likely to be less important, so by all means, ask questions to get to the bottom of a certain matter, but be alert to when might be a good time to stop.

If you're not seeing eye-to-eye with a certain person or are aware that tension is escalating between you and someone else, then coming developments are going to do much to help.

That doesn't necessarily mean that such help won't bring with it further tension because a certain situation might need to worsen slightly before it can be improved. Think of the saying about the need to break eggs sometimes!

There appears to be uncertainty between you and someone else about an arrangement and where this goes from here. You are not as trapped as you might believe you are though.

If you're willing to make progress and improve an arrangement that may no longer be valid and in need of updating, then a superb opportunity exists to do so now. The key to achieving this lies with you not seeing an issue as being bigger or more daunting than it really is.

What makes someone an 'expert' at something? Is it the authoritative way in which they speak? Is it because their appearance reassures us that they know what they're talking about? If they tell themselves something enough times, then they start believing it.

If we're told something enough times, then we start believing it, too – especially if what's being told to us is being told BY us! What matters now is your ability to draw a conclusion based on personal, previous experience – not what someone else is trying to convince you of.

Something from your past needs revisiting and re-examining now. To make a very positive change, all you need to do is accept that there is something you don't know or know enough about.

Whatever happened previously will help you identify this and, once you identify it, you will begin to ask questions about something from your past that has confused you that will then lead to a very valuable discovery.

Tense situations tend to escalate. They do so if we don't want them to. They certainly do so if we encourage them to. Somewhere in your world, an intense debate is either brewing or happening. In same way various animals lock horns, it appears you and a certain person are doing similar. There is a way you can seriously reduce or eliminate altogether the amount of stress involved in this scenario.

The key to doing so surrounds your determination to retain control over something you really ought to be less concerned about. Rather than invest time in waiting for an ideal outcome to present itself and invest even more time and energy into a heated discussion, stand back and smile.

This drama won't last long, and you can be instrumental in it having a happy ending.

Does the word 'genius' get used more today than at other times throughout history? Think about how fantastic inventions were many years ago that have become accepted and taken for granted today.

Surely, something created by someone else that stands the test of time through acceptance by so many people is worthy of the accolade 'genius'? It is how you are likely to apply ingenuity now that put you in a wonderfully strong position.

It seems that comfort is winging its way to you and most likely in a material or financial sense. But real, long-lasting comfort is likely to come from you devising a clever plan and pursuing a wonderful idea and doing either or both will, undoubtedly, enhance your relationship with someone else, or present you with one that could arguably be heaven sent.

Some television commercials can be extremely annoying. Companies who make commercials and those whose products or services they represent are unconcerned about this.

As far as they're concerned, they have a valid point to make and will make as often as they see fit until they're reassured an advertising campaign has been successful or budgets have run out.

They often fail to understand that their incessant intrusion does little more than discourage many of us from buying their products or services. Bear this in mind with a point you want to make now.

You might believe making a point repeatedly will result in the person or people you wish to influence succumbing, but this plan can backfire if you're not careful. You'll gain much support if you make your point sensibly, succinctly and sensitively.

Beauty, we know, is skin deep. However, particularly in society today, such emphasis is put on making what we see so appealing. In the same way we know we shouldn't judge books by covers, you may be placing too much emphasis on a quality or factor which is not as valuable or as relevant as it seems.

If you want to achieve or attain something that is truly and deeply satisfying, then you need to care less about something that doesn't deserve the levels of attention you appear keen to give it.

To bring about a much-needed change in this respect, a tense or potentially difficult conversation needs to be had. You might even discover you possess the courage to say a few things you've been afraid to say or chose, for reasons known best to yourself, to keep hidden.

Provided you're willing to see an unsatisfactory or disguised situation for what it is, be resolute toward improving it in whatever way you deem fit and say what you know needs to be said from the depths of your heart, then you can be assured you will have nothing whatsoever to be apologetic or regretful about.

Many forms of communication technology have something called 'spell checkers' installed. The fact that many of us receive messages and correspondence that clearly should have been spell checked before sending indicates this facility isn't used as often as it should be. Then, there is the tiny issue surrounding pressing a button to send a message that really ought not to have been sent or received by a particular recipient.

You can save yourself considerable frustration and potential embarrassment by ensuring whatever you're communicating has been thought through properly or checked thoroughly. You might not get a second chance to make a first impression.

Grass often appears greener on the other side of fences. Much often appears preferable in another place – or time! Is there something you wish you could turn the clock back now to do differently than you did way back when? In the same way it is unhelpful to be pondering the past, and what you could have done differently, it is equally unhelpful to be in too much of a rush to alter the future.

It is what's happening here, and now that needs your attention and deserves to be enjoyed and celebrated, despite how a situation may appear.

You're on the brink of a very valuable and helpful discovery where your relationship world or with a certain person is concerned. Let what's unfolding continue to do so in the knowledge that you will soon have something to be very glad of.

Even if you don't normally struggle with finding new and interesting ways to stimulate your mind, you could feel a partner offers the most helpful ways to keep your mind occupied. However, you're embracing the true spirit of partnership by encouraging the shared creation of ideas and bouncing them off each other until you and they come up with a definitive solution or approach. You're keen to experience a two-way exchange of ideas and observations. It's also possible others - or a potential partner - won't be able to predict what you'll say next, but that's a quality that keeps things interesting, exciting and boosts your attractiveness immensely!

Truth, we are told, tends to 'stare us in the face.' We know it does this and sometimes choose to ignore it or pretend we can't see what it's doing. In your relationship world now, there is something truthful that you shouldn't be ignoring.

It requires you to face it – and to know whether it is wise to walk away from a source of antagonism. Facing a certain fact needn't be confrontational because the fact isn't likely to be as 'big' as you or someone else insists it is.

Face what needs to be faced and accept it. Once done, you'll be in a much better place to decide where you go from there.

You feel much more positive than you have of late. It is though, a case of striking while the proverbial iron is hot.

There is something you need to learn about yourself and, through doing so and learning something valuable, you will be in an excellent position to move a plan forward that involves a project – or person – close to your heart.

Prepare to see evidence of how loved and respected you are in the eyes of certain people and one person in particular. It's time to address something you've chosen to ignore and once you take a brave step forward, life will, in many ways, become noticeably easier and sweeter.

We're all blessed with instincts. We use them from time to time and, when we do, find that they provide us with interesting and, at times, valuable insight. If you're willing to use yours now, then you stand to gain insight into a situation that you may feel you're kidding yourself about.

You're not deceiving yourself, and your assessment of a situation and someone's involvement with it (or their motivation) is likely to be accurate. You and a certain person need to have an exchange of sorts, and this is likely to involve a tense and possibly emotional conversation.

But even if verbal dialogue isn't forthcoming, there is much you're able to learn now through subtle signs and signals. Provided you're willing to be open and share tactfully and sensitively what you can share, then someone else is likely to do the same.

Most leading fairy tale characters tend to live 'happily ever after.' Whether or not they did is something we will never know. All that we know is, one chapter in their respective worlds ended and another began and, in your world now, something awkward or tense has ended, and something better is beginning.

If you're not already seeing evidence that life is becoming sweeter, noticeably more sensible and logical, then you will soon enough. This can only have a very positive knock-on effect to your relationships and with one person in particular.

Positive and encouraging news is on its way to you, and this should help you to strike a deal or implement an arrangement of agreement that has needed discussion for some time. All you need to do is be receptive to making the positive change.

When we share anything, we involve others. What was uniquely ours can sometimes become someone else's, simply through our act of making it available to them. However, a need exists now for you to share something in your world and allow someone to benefit in some way from your doing so.

Rather than nurture resentment, look for the benefits that exist from someone else involving themselves with what you're making available to them. It seems that there are benefits to you although you might have to look a bit harder to see them.

As long as you remain firm, fair and committed to a plan, then there's no reason why someone else can't play a part in helping to make it happen.

Back in medieval times, kings and queens had Court Jesters, individuals whose role involved entertaining the king, queen and all directly associated with them. It was in Jesters' best interests to ensure the king or queen laughed when they were supposed to. Otherwise, Jesters often met with an untimely end.

Think though, what might have happened if one poor Jester was sent to his death and the king or queen fell about laughing having 'got' a joke after it was too late? It's important that you make no assumption now about anyone understanding a point you're trying to convey.

Don't take the fact that they're nodding as acceptance or understanding. It seems there is a need for you to take time to ensure you're not being misunderstood. Take time to ensure you are.

Be aware of how your words carry considerable clout at this time. Your powerful self-expression can affect others profoundly, and you might wonder why people react so sensitively to what you say or convey. You know you're only stating the truth, but the truth can be hurtful at times, both intentionally and unintentionally. You curiosity surrounding what motivates others could be heightened, and you could have no issue with raising topics that head into mysterious, taboo, secretive, or psychological territory. Your ability to speak authoritatively is enhanced, but your strong persuasive powers should be used carefully at this time. It might be your fearless but mysterious qualities that someone finds particularly alluring!
