Virgo

Four stars, and a good afternoon. Mercury, your ruler, in your third house, makes a sextile to the Moon in your fifth, so play and conversation feed each other. A game, a craft, a long lunch. The Moon also squares Saturn in your eighth house, and an old worry about shared costs tries to join the fun. It can wait outside.

Love

Venus, retrograde in your third house, squares Pluto in your sixth. Answer the message you got, not the one you suspect behind it.

Work and money

Mars and Jupiter in your twelfth house keep work out of sight. Let it stay there until Monday.

Advice of the day
