When Mercury trines Neptune this evening, our dreams become all too clear—but we must not confuse these fleeting dreams into lasting passion. You might dream of a better life and future with your significant other one day, but then back down the other, believing you’re not ready for commitment. While it is not a good day for big commitments, it’s nevertheless an ideal time to harmonize your dreams with your everyday reality. If you’ve been looking to go on a romantic picnic with a crush or a romantic partner, today is the perfect day to do that.
To learn how Mercury’s dance with Neptune affects your sign today, read more below.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, today you will delve deep into your subconscious, and as you find uncomfortable self-truths, you will find yourself seeking refuge in the comfort of your family. As you discover more about your inner self, the feelings resurface from being long hidden for the sake of others, you will run into the arms of your significant other or a close friend for comfort. You find that it’s easier to say all this makes you feel, but your fear of being judged is holding you back. Don’t be afraid of vulnerability in the arms of the people you love, Aries—it’s the safest place you could ever be in.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, today you will be enthusiastic to express yourself. People will be drawn to your authenticity, but you will have trouble telling which of them are genuine and which are fake. Romantic partners will be attracted to your charisma and your way with words, but some of them might have ulterior motives that you might not be able to see. Keep an eye out on the way they speak with you, the way they behave around you, and trust your intuition when it tells you to leave.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, you have goals that you’re struggling to achieve, and your perception of your career might have something to do with it. Maybe you believe you’re not good enough—and not just at work. You might also believe you’re not good enough for your partner, or that you’re not good enough to deserve true love. But what is “good enough,” Gemini? You have to learn that sometimes, it’s not for you to decide. Even if you’re imperfect, you still deserve love, so you must allow other people to give it to you—you deserve that much.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You’re usually shy, Cancer, but today you’re showing the world who you are. You’re stepping into the spotlight, even if you’re afraid. And while these uncharted waters make you feel nervous, it excites you as well. You’re welcoming the possibility of new love and allowing yourself to fulfill your romantic dreams, but when the fear comes creeping back in, you can’t help but relapse to your shy, fearful self. Welcome the change, Cancer. It’s normal to be afraid, but you must be ready to face your fears if you want your life to change.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The feelings you used to hide are surfacing, Leo, and you’re finally letting yourself be seen and heard by the people you feel safe being with. As you discover these subconscious emotional patterns, you will learn to love yourself and others better. These discoveries allow you to be a better partner and a better friend. You might even allow yourself to finally come back to the search of finding the love you’ve been looking for, because you have the confidence that you will not be driven back to the wrong arms.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, talking with friends about anything under the sun has always been easy—but it’s especially easier today. You’re able to say how you feel with ease, and you’re letting them know about your love life, regardless of its current status. Your relationships will improve because of this willingness to be vulnerable, though you might find yourself steering back to your old patterns and old fears of vulnerability. It’s okay to be afraid, Virgo, but remember that taking that leap of faith even with the existence of fear will always pay off.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, your career is at the forefront of your goals today, and you will be able to use your way with words to get what you want. You’re introducing new ideas about work to your boss, and your skill at being convincing will help you get what you want. A supportive partner will help you further these goals, so if they feel they’re being neglected because you spend too much time with work, you have to be able to know if it is valid or if they are too demanding. Regardless, you must choose the decision that satisfies your emotional needs most.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
Scorpio, you’re in for some romantic adventure today as you explore the uncharted waters of romance. You’re expressing your desire for adventure, and you will be able to quench this thirst as you meet new people and explore new places. You might even find your twin flame along the way. But if you’ve already found them, make sure not to forget to take them with you on the adventures that you will have. After all, it’s certainly better to explore the unknown when you’re holding the hand that makes you feel safe.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, today your desire for intimacy will emerge into the surface. You will look for it from your family—regardless if they’re your blood or chosen family. You will seek the comfort of the four walls of your home, and will look for intimacy from the people in it. Acts of service will make you feel loved, and your heart will swell with love for your partner as you remember the way they take care of you on days when you’re unable to take care of yourself. You will see just how magical it is to be loved, and you will be grateful to know that you’re one of the lucky ones.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You’ve never had trouble being honest, Capricorn, but when it comes to your feelings, it becomes a little hard to say how you truly feel—but today, you’ll find yourself easily speaking your dreams and aspirations into reality even if you’re afraid of judgment. Nonetheless, it makes you feel worried: what if you let people know too early, and then disappoint them when you don’t achieve them? What if you tell them about this new person that makes your heart beat, but you don’t end up together? Remember that other people’s opinions are just that, Capricorn: opinions. Don’t be worried about disappointment—put your happiness first instead.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius, your health comes to the forefront of your concerns today as you figure out which things are good for your mental health and which are not. You will realize that having financial security makes you feel safe about your future, so you will find yourself saving up for the rainy days. If you’re in a relationship, you will start planning about the future and saving up for the many milestones you plan on achieving with your partner—moving in together, having a wedding, and maybe even starting a small family. Be careful not to dream too far into the future that you forget to live in the present.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces, your charm is overflowing today, and you will find fairy dust fluttering out of your lips as you flirt with your crush or your partner. As you get into a delicate dance with a romantic interest, you will find yourself reveling in the romance in the air. You think: this is all you’ve ever wanted. But is this it? Is this all there is to love? Remember that romance doesn’t always translate into true love, Pisces. The latter requires more time and effort than you think, and you have to be willing to put in the work if you really want it.
