Don't just start mixing and matching variables because you can.  What's important is that you attain your objective sooner rather than later.

Your judgment call is right, but unfortunately people aren't buying it. Do what you know is best.  You'll be vindicated in the end.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You shouldn't be agonizing over how to make a job work for you.  It's vice-versa.  What is a customer or client doing to make things worthwhile?

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

You knew a friend was holding stuff in, but you didn't realize how much until now. Letting her talk things out is a greater gift than you'll ever know.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Take it easy with the recreationals while Mercury is conjunct Neptune.  Life's trippy enough as is.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Everyone's an amnesiac when Mercury conjoins Neptune.  Loved ones turn into no-shows, reliable friends become wishy-washy, and even beloved pets treat you like someone they've never seen before.

AQUARIUS.

You have amazing insights right now, but don't try to explain where they come from.  It won't make sense to anyone but you.
