Ruling Mercury in your sign suggests plans will fall nicely into place. Something you have waited for or worked towards is almost within reach. Apart from a couple of loose ends, you can sniff success.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your powers of observation give you the jump on others. Nothing escapes your eagle eye, making it almost impossible for anyone to fool you. A new Moon paves the way for joint ventures and social gatherings.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Relax your stiff upper lip and release pent-up emotion. There is no shame in opening up your heart and it might even endear you to others. Drop your guard and allow the energy to flow more freely.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The feelers you put out could yield prey. Mercury at the peak of your horoscope delivers payback and the compatible new Moon brings results in on time. A boost in your status, reputation or popularity ensues.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Earthy energy suits your personality and events click into place. Happiness comes from mixing with kindred souls, engaging with children and accepting spontaneous invitations. Show off your sociable side and play host to others.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Mercury the comic is currently passaging your pleasure zone. You might use humour to diffuse situations or will take delight in teasing and flirting with others. Being childlike compensates for previously playing the adult role.

The new Moon converts you to first-class communicator. Your personal and professional relationships benefit from informal discussions yet the message is never lost. The power of words and actions cannot be underestimated at this time.
