A stretch of astrological shifts is underway, with the Sun having entered Scorpio yesterday, Mercury beginning its retrograde today and a hunter's moon still to come. According to the forecast, today sits in the middle of that sequence of cosmic change and carries its fullest effect. The day is described as backward in motion, and one suggestion offered is that an unexpected or counterintuitive choice could prove to be the fortunate one.
For Aries, Mercury's backward turn supports a second review of expenses shared with someone else. The numbers are worth working through again, as there is said to be a joint cost that neither party still needs.
Taurus is sent back into a conversation, this time with additional information, possibly of a kind that alters everything. The forecast advises that not everything must be settled within a single day, but that Taurus should guard its own interests, quietly if that is required.
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is encouraged to reverse the order of the usual routine under the planet's influence. Beginning with the task normally left for later and finishing the difficult part first is said to leave more room for enjoyment in the day.
For Cancer, Mercury is retracing its path through the part of the chart tied to pleasure, which makes this a fitting moment to revisit former sources of fun. Picking up an instrument again, returning to a book or reconnecting with a entertaining friend are among the possibilities raised, since some time has passed.
Leo's home life comes up for reconsideration during the retrograde. Rearranging furniture, swapping rooms or organizing an avoided chaotic area are suggested, and the forecast states that putting the physical space in order will also loosen an emotional knot.
Virgo, also ruled by Mercury, gets another chance at getting communication right as its guiding planet reverses. The advice is to consider whether the message can be delivered in fewer words, since trimming it to its essential point is expected to produce the desired response.
The report also includes a celebrity note on Drake, whose album ICEMAN has become the first rap album of 2026 to pass two billion Spotify streams. His career is traced from acting to major recording success, with repeated reinvention along the way. The profile describes him as pairing emotional candor with a calculated air of mystery, disclosing just enough to hold listeners' interest, in the manner associated with Scorpio.
