The Moon is Aquarius today--the sign of the world wide web of humanity. We become interconnected with the larger group as we move our feelings beyond the immediate sphere of friends and family. Our social network becomes more important now. We look for ways to partake in community events or social causes. But it's not all about making easy connections, for interactive Mercury is being opposed by restrictive Saturn. Our thoughts run up against an insurmountable wall and serious thinking is needed to overcome the obstacles.

It seems like all the hard work and planning that you've done has been for naught. No matter how well you've built the foundation, you couldn't have imagined that the earth itself would shift beneath you, but that's what it feels like today. The good news is that all is not lost. You can reach a new level of efficiency that makes you more effective in the workplace than ever before if you are willing to rethink what you've already thought.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20):
If you've been thinking about going back to school or taking up a new course of study, you could become serious enough about it now to actually take a step toward making it happen. Of, if you are already in school, now is a time when you might have to apply yourself harder than usual in order to pass an important examination. Remember: you cannot learn about new things until you finish learning the basics.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20):
Your planet, Mercury, is feeling the stress of Saturn now. This can be quite depressing, for it's difficult to be lighthearted when so much is on your mind. You want to feel young and learn new things, but it doesn't matter what you age is. You tend to feel older now than you are. And you know what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks. Nevertheless, you can learn anything if you apply yourself.

Slow-moving Saturn in your own sign is getting activated by inquisitive Mercury now. You may doubt what you've been feeling, even if you believed it to be real. You may seek security in the knowledge of knowing what is real, but reality is changing along with the changing tide. It's difficult to know how to follow the rules when no one will tell you what they are until it's too late.
LEO (July 23–August 22):
It feels like an uphill battle, but you may not even know who your opponent is. Shadows are holding secrets of their own and it's tough to uncover the source of what's holding you back. One thing is for sure: if you are running into problems with authority figures, they are slowing you down for a reason. Instead of trying to outmaneuver them, make a serious attempt to understand what you need to learn in order to be more effective.
VIRGO (August 23–September 22):
Mercury is the key planet for you Virgos, symbolizing your ability to sift through the noise and discern which facts really matter. Now, as Mercury aligns opposite to Saturn-the-Taskmaster, others are voicing their concern about whether you are on the right track. You, on the other hand, are less interested in their worries than you are about solving whatever problems are in front of you. Your cleverness will help you fix what's broken so that you can move on to whatever is next.

Even if you didn't really think you could put one over on him, your boss may come down on you with more negativity and resistance than you were prepared for. You are quite willing now to go back to your little corner and rework your ideas so that they can stand on their own merit. But you aren't happy now if authority is taken away from you before you can demonstrate how well you would do with it. Don't blow your cool. Treat the current situation like a chess game. Plan your next move carefully.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 22):
It all looked good on paper, but now that it's unfolding according to schedule, it's more difficult than you anticipated. You are less concerned with what's happening in the present moment than you are with your long-term goals. You have the knowledge. You have the experience. You have a good understanding of how it all works. But the difference between knowing and doing is vast. Theory is one thing and practice is entirely something else.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21):
You are in a difficult bind now as someone else seems to hold the key to making your current situation a success or a failure. You really don't like it when someone else has that kind of control over your life. You believe that your work should stand on its own merits, but it's not going to stand at all unless you can get those in power to stand with you. Concentrate on being truthful and the resistances you are facing will begin to melt away.

Your key planet is Saturn-the-Tester, and it is now being confronted by the trickster himself--fast-moving Mercury. Your imagination seems so real that it's difficult to tell the difference between fantasy and reality. The bad news is that this lack of clarity can get you into trouble. The good news is that someone will be able to spot your shortcomings and point them out to you in a way that will allow you to make the necessary changes.
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):
You can rely on your best friends and well-intended associates to tell it to you just like it is. Don't expect anyone to put a sugar coating onto what they say. You have to swallow the bitter pill of reality and others are going to help you do it. There's no need to make things look better than they are. Whatever isn't working now should be set aside. Or, if it's worth fighting for, this is the time to make one last ditch effort. But don't waste energy on anything that is unsalvageable.
PISCES (February 19–March 19):
You might be seeing only those things that you want to see now, but events can happen that bring the hidden problems clearly into view. You won't be able to bury your head in the sand for too much longer. You may be prepared to do the hard mental work needed to overcome the obstacles in your path, but you'll have to set your negative thinking aside in order to navigate through this phase. Find someone to talk with that you respect. Meaningful conversations can help you to figure out what to do next.
