Mercury Goes Direct

By Holiday Mathis

March 27, 2019 6 min read

The cosmic Wi-Fi gets reset thanks to Mercury going direct. On an interpersonal note, communication improves when we understand the difference between expressing an opinion and passing judgment. Opinions signal agreement or disagreement about how things should be done. Judgment disparages personhood and damages the soul.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Point yourself in the right direction and make a move — any move, however small. Even falling in that direction is better than no movement at all. Because the only thing that can stop you now is inaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Change is hard, so the saying goes, but is that really accurate? Change is the natural order, and by definition, the natural order takes no effort. It's not change that's hard. It's the way we resist it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Frustration happens only because things aren't moving along as quickly as you had it in your head. In the words of one gorgeous Gemini, "When you relinquish the desire to have control over your future, you can have more happiness."

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe you're not entirely popular for the things you express lately, but the only one who can please all the people all the time is someone who doesn't stand for anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Creative differences create waste. You've witnessed so much lost time and effort in too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen-type scenarios. Right now you'll save yourself a lot of trouble by tackling your creative project alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Owning things is work. You really don't want the responsibility that some possessions will require of you. You could handle it, but it would take focus away from what's good for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can build on a past success, though you won't exactly be able to repeat it. It's a new day, a new you. And a slightly different approach will be needed to keep this thing on track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People always need to know the reasons, or at least they think they do. If they don't know the reasons, they'll make them up just to satisfy the cognitive dissonance. Provide reasons or you leave yourself open to speculative fiction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Who knows what the full expression of your personality would be if it were even possible to express it? But you feel it's your responsibility to at least try. You'll widen your range with new experiences.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just a heads-up: People who seem to be involved in a dramatic situation on the regular are very likely to continue the trend, as it's a self-feeding cycle. Internal states influence external states and vice versa.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not know exactly what is sacred to other people, but if you assume there's something that is and go carefully from there, you're less likely to trip the triggers and awaken the consequences of disrespect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ideally, you would give what the world needs and put your time into things that will be meaningful to the masses. But who knows what the world needs? The world doesn't even know. So do what's meaningful to you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 27). Financially, this year is a win. You'll earn a trophy — a symbol of your work over the past three years. On a personal note, you'll become known for your emotional warmth. It's something you come by honestly because you'll receive so much of it from others that you'll have no choice but to recycle and regift the love. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 3, 33 and 16.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: "My 32-year-old Capricorn son has tried online dating services, arranged dates, dates he's found on his own, but none of them have worked out. He's a Christian. He has epilepsy. He loves his job and travels a lot. Could these things be scaring women off?"

A life lived on purpose is a magnet for love. This is especially true for Capricorns, who are deeply fulfilled by identifying their calling and then pursuing that to the ends of the Earth. He is doing this — fabulous! My concern is Capricorns can approach finding a mate with ambition enough to climb K2, which can be problematic (and disappointing). Love flourishes in an atmosphere of lighthearted play. However, he does have innate skills useful in a romance strategy. Just as every ambitious Capricorn holds a picture of what success looks like before he or she achieves it, intentionality precedes manifestation. So just as your son masterfully intends his life achievements into being, I'd suggest he picture his life partner, write it down and follow it with the other thing Capricorn does best: holding out for the best. And don't forget to trust that love is in the stars.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Sometimes Jessie J shares her music with the heightened style of polished pop glamour. Other times she shares it in vulnerable, stripped-down, emotional Instagram videos like the one she did recently in which she brought attention to the cause of mental health and urged those suffering to not to do so alone. J is an Aries with a Leo moon and Mercury in soulful, empathetic Pisces.
