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

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

It's never a good idea to believe your own press when Mercury is under the influence of Neptune, the planet of hype.  Be humble, stay grounded, and success won't spoil you.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Many areas of your life are undergoing a sea change.  Make the most of what comes in with the tide, the least of what goes out, and you'll be OK.

Loved ones appear to be in a fog.  Thankfully the effect of the Mercury/Neptune conjunction is passing. They'll snap out of it by the 10th.

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.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

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.

Expect to be on call for the next few days.  Friends are undergoing personal crises and are sorely in need of advice.

Your hands were tied, but check to make sure that that's still the case. A shift in planetary energies shows you may have loosened the knot.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

You thought that when you achieved your goal you could relax. Alas, holding on to that accomplishment will prove to be just as all consuming.
