22 May – 21 Jun
Date: Wednesday 12th August 2026
A check on your qualifications or an enrolment on a course is possible. This, coupled with responsibilities to a friend, could mean you are left practising the art of crisis management and pulling it off beautifully. Someone (probably a Sagittarius) whose passions have been aroused might demand your undivided attention – and learn that they can't have it all. You might need to use the word 'no' a few times.

A colleague's focus could act as a hand-rail for you today and be just what you need to get a job finished. They might offer you the incentive to finish early once a chore is out of the way. They might also make light of a job that used to be a pain but is now becoming more routine. Now that you're seeing the other side of this person, you too could relax and feel that at last you really do have a working partnership.

Something you read could have significance on oh-so-many levels. Research is likely to bear fruit. Less comfortable may be the knowledge that two friends are far more involved than they've implied. You might not be able to explain why you are so tired late in the day: but it could be that your brain has been working over-time and that you need your sub-conscious to get to work (i.e. you need to dream).
Week: Sunday 9th August – Saturday 15th August 2026
Mars leaves your sign at Wednesday's solar eclipse. It could be argued that it's only after then, that the impact of your contribution to recent discussions is felt. Bearing in mind that there is a lunar eclipse in another of the Mutable signs on August 28, you may need to give others a full two weeks to consider implications. Your own attention might need to be given to financial matters as turbulence is more likely than not. For the last 18 months your career has likely been the subject of much discussion. The cosmic test this week seems to be one of patience and re-explanation. Expect to have to go over things several times before decisions are made.
