Speak up at a meeting today. Your viewpoint on a contract or sale is needed. Enjoy a meal with close companions. The sights, sounds and smell of home are worth more than any worldly possession. You are the center of attention today. All eyes will be on you as you present new work so be ready for the spotlight. Keep your ego in check but enjoy your successes. Ignore jealous voices and trust those who appreciate your fervor and commitment. You're an inspiration to others.

It’ll be hard to pull the emergency brake once your romantic railway car has reached cruising speed, so maybe tap the foot pedal a few times to make sure you can regulate your speed. Today, eager Mercury blasts into Cancer and your eighth house of intimacy and eroticism until August 9 (an extra-long transit because of a retrograde from June 29 to July 23). It’ll take a lot of willpower to resist going all in on a new relationship—or to intensify an existing one. But anything built to last will pass such a reality check.
