Mercury in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer so we’ll be going on a mental journey that could take us far and wide, or that brings insights into local developments and opportunities.
Even so, it’s wise to keep our feet on the ground and not get carried away or to promise more than we can deliver. Handled properly this aspect brings a brilliant idea could truly soar.
Aries 21 March – 20 April
With Mercury opposing upbeat Jupiter, your mind may be brimming with big ideas and they might involve launching a business from home. But before you dive headfirst into planning, take time to talk it through with the experts. Their experience could turn a spark into a steady flame. You’re building more than a dream, you’re laying the foundation for something that will be truly lasting.Taurus 21 April – 21 May
Your mind is reaching beyond its usual boundaries and rightly so! Whether it’s booking that purposeful trip or signing up for a course that challenges you, it’s time to commit to something that expands your horizons. Just make sure you’re not doing it on a whim, as your plans will thrive best with a clear goal in sight. Travel with intent, study with purpose and stretch those comfort zones gently but firmly.Gemini 22 May – 21 June
On the one hand you’re in budget mode and on the other you want velvet couches and vintage wine. Mercury whispers to plan, invest and secure, while Jupiter tempts with indulgence and lavish experiences. This cosmic tug-of-war pits logic against longing. Don’t deny yourself, but don’t let it bankrupt your future either. Be savvy and make smart luxuries, like a purchase or a treat that brings a return.Cancer 22 June – 23 July
Your dreams are blooming and Jupiter in your sign fuels hope and imagination. But Mercury in Capricorn adds a practical note, like the friend who reminds you to pack a map before chasing rainbows. Don’t dismiss practical advice as a dream-killer, as it’s the scaffolding you need. Listen closely to the wise words around you as they may not sparkle now, but they’ll shine later.Leo 24 July – 23 August
Today’s Mercury-Jupiter face-off beckons you inward, toward emotional treasure and healing insights. But Mercury has other plans such as schedules and doing a spot of decluttering. The stars say you need both far-seeing vision and tidy surroundings. Don’t get so lost in introspection that you forget those basic tasks. Likewise, don’t let routines become ruts. Practical creativity is your sweet spot now.Virgo 24 August – 23 September
Mercury cheers on your independent streak, fuelling your love of detail. But Jupiter in Cancer can find you missing your friends and wanting to be with them. Community, connection and shared laughter offer nourishment now. The cosmic challenge? Balancing ‘me time’ with ‘we time’. Don’t forget your fun goals and leisure plans, but don’t miss the magic of meaningful associations either.Libra 24 September – 23 October
Big career dreams are lighting you up, and visions of success may clash with more practical homely issues such as rearranging your kitchen. Domestic life wants order rather like your dreams want wings. The key is structure, so create boundaries, routines and maybe even a door that closes, especially if you plan to start a home business. You can Zoom in slippers and still rule your world.Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
Your words are sharp like the best tools and you’re focused and brilliantly practical. But you’re invited to explore beyond the known toward adventure, learning and emotional growth. It’s time to stretch your wings even if it is a little uncomfortable. That deep conversation? Take it further. The idea that scares you? Explore it. You don’t have to abandon your solid ground in the process though.Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
You may be tightening your belt when it comes to your own personal finances. Mercury in Capricorn has you budgeting, tracking and zeroing in on your expenses. But with Jupiter in Cancer facing off, you won’t be such a saver, especially in matters of shared finances. Beware the temptation to be frugal with yourself and fabulously generous or vague with joint accounts.Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
Someone may have a wild, wonderful idea which is starry and slightly unhinged. And you’re the one who can make it real. Mercury in your sign gives you the tools to build, edit and structure it. But its link to Jupiter in Cancer adds an imaginative touch, so don’t dull the dream with too much logic. Your gift now is making it real, not smothering it. Take their balloon and tie it to a sturdy string, but don’t pop it.Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
Your intuition is at a peak and surprisingly practical. Trust those inner nudges as they’re not just subtle, they’re truly useful right now. Mercury in Capricorn helps you connect the dots with cool precision, while Jupiter in Cancer adds emotional wisdom to your everyday choices. But try not to overpromise while riding this intuitive high. Keep one foot in the mystical and one in the manageable.Pisces 20 February – 20 March
Your friends are wonderfully practical planners, list-makers and calendar wizards. They keep you grounded, which is great most of the time. But with Jupiter glowing in your creativity zone, your spirit is itching to roam, dream and dance to your own tune. You don’t need permission to follow your muse and focus on your romantic or creative leanings, just a little structure so you don’t float off entirely.

"I had a big decision to make and was keen to speak with an Astrologer whom I hoped could guide me, I was led to Patrick whom I can honestly say is amazing, his Astrology skills, wisdom, accuracy and insight are second to none and not only that Patrick is very kind, patient, honourable, generous and caring. Patrick explained why I was finding it difficult to make the decision that I needed to and also advised of the best time to do so, he explained everything so clearly and in a language that anyone can understand. I now feel confidant about my next steps and will definitely be booking further appointments in the future with Patrick. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much Patrick - you are a brilliant Astrologer and a wonderful person. It was a real pleasure to work with you and I look forward to speaking with you more in the future."
