Y’know those moments when your mind wanders on its own, sometimes for hours, then when you try to remember what you were thinking about, you’ve got absolutely nothing? With Mercury, the Messenger God, and Neptune, the Sea God, conjoining this Friday, March 8, we can all expect our minds to be in a somewhat dreamy haze. Communications may come through in a manner difficult to translate and we may have a hard time focusing. Our intuition will be our greatest guide. Thoughts will dissolve one into the other and our dreams will speak to us in vivid imagery. Under this sky, entering meditative states will be much more powerful than trying to think things through in an orderly fashion. Imagination is the key word right now, so focus on the most ideal possibilities for yourself rather than the practical means for achieving them. Practicality can come later.
Here are your horoscopes for the Mercury-Neptune conjunction. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
While this sky lends itself to an identity crisis for you, Pisces, it also offers you the chance to dream your most ideal form of self-expression. When it is most difficult to think of yourself clearly, it is also the most wonderful time to experiment with a fresh canvas. How will you share your inner workings in creative and imaginative ways? You are poetry manifested, so practice with different meters and rhymes.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Get ready to hold your breath. You are deep-diving into your creative unconscious. So much exists beneath the surface of our waking awareness, and this sky is sending you to the depths. What is down there and how can you make heads or tails of it? I recommend painting or singing or engaging in other forms of creative expression to bring your wisdom forth.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Some confusing messaging may be passing through your friend group right now, like a rumor that simply can’t be based in reality. Rather than playing detective, practice being more of a witch doctor and sense the truth instead of analyzing it. All of that aside, it’s also a great time for late-night conversations that seem to go nowhere, but cover everything. Have fun with your peeps.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
Are the computers going down at work or are your boss’s instructions simply gibberish? Effective and efficient communication is not the priority right now. Thinking into the best of all possible scenarios in your work life is paramount. When you picture your public reputation and your career, what is the highest dream? Get the image now so you can do the work later.
Cancer
June 22 – July 22
Sometimes, knowledge comes to us all at once in moments of high inspiration. You are being offered that capacity right now. There is so much available to you in your intuition rather than through your book learnin’. Trust it. Perhaps you will have dreams with images and scenarios that are brand new to you. Those are particularly important messages, so pay attention.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
There is a reality to the group-mind that forms when a crew of committed people share a project with a mission. It’s as if the project has a mind of its own and you are simply a neuron in the web. This sky is offering you entrance into such a project or to catch a glimpse of the group-mind that oversees a project you are already working on. Trust the intelligence there.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Are you and your partner having a difficult time understanding what the other is saying? Confusing conversations are emblematic of this sky for you, so don’t dig into the dialogue so much. Rather, let your hearts communicate directly through eye contact, facial expression, dancing and other forms of non-verbal communication. See the message rather than trying to think it.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
There are always more creative ways to get stuff done, like listening to an audiobook while washing the dishes or having a pizza party when asking friends to help rearrange your furniture. Rather than working smarter, trying to work dreamier right now. Your work will get done when you aren’t thinking about it.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 – Nov. 21
Your creative mind is brimming with new ideas, and this is the perfect time to get your fingers covered in paint, your vocal cords vibrating or your other blissful expressions out. It is also a great time to do something akin to reading a fantasy story to a group of children. Imagination is soaring in the most creative ways for you, so figure out how to channel it.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Home means something different to everybody, and sometimes it is literally a state of mind. What makes you feel as if you’re in your element, where you can relax and let your guard down? Let your mind float on its own and see what kind of home inspiration you receive through your cosmic antennae. Perhaps it’s time for a new paint job, a new room arrangement or a new space entirely. Your intuition will guide you.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
As the universe evolves, every little action taken within this vast process changes things for future iterations. Choosing to move your little toe or not to move your little toe can have wide-ranging effects. Now, generally that is all too much to consider and can leave us immobile if we try. Right now, though, you have an opportunity to sense how you can move and direct the flow of things. Use your powers for good.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Money is a part of life, like it or not. At this point, it seems that money issues might be a bit confusing for you. Fret not because you are not supposed to be doing any serious accounting. Instead, you are meant to be dreaming of new ways to make and spend money for your best life. What would you do if you had no financial limits? Get that image, then do the accounting.
