Make time for leisure or romance today. You may feel drawn to the new and unknown, perhaps spiritual or ritual ones. Follow your instincts but don't ignore reason, especially when it comes to taking chances. Connect with an elder, maybe a grandfather, is on your mind. Assets and possessions monopolize your time and resources. Some of you may be longing for scintillating experiences and if so, sexuality will be the motivating force. Literally or symbolically, something will reach its conclusion today. Both romance and finances will be in the spotlight. Stay away from commitments.

Weigh your feelings against the facts this Saturday, as logical Mercury faces off with the moon. If anxiety has been creeping in about an upcoming plan, trust there’s a reason. Instead of charging ahead on a wing and a prayer, double-check the details and do any safety checks. You’ll breathe easier knowing exactly what you’re stepping into—or have solid reasons to bow out if it’s not right for you. Do your big dreams need stronger support beams, Cancer? This Sunday, Saturn begins its annual retrograde, backing through Aries and your tenth house of career until September 1, then drifting into Pisces through November 27. This is a potent window to pull back and rework your professional priorities. There’s no skipping steps with Saturn—sometimes you have to revisit old projects to clear the path forward.
