In the meantime, read on to find out what Mercury in Sagittarius has in store for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are in the mood to take risks, but with this energy it is easy to undermine important details, Ram. With Mercury igniting your adventurous and philosophical ninth house, you crave great experiences and seek new perspectives.

You can book a spontaneous road trip or sign up for a weekend workshop that requires you to step out of your comfort zone. If you’ve ever wanted to try something completely different from you, now is the time. Don’t forget to double and triple check the return dates on these flights!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be aware of your too brutal approach, Bull. With Mercury in Sagittarius activating your eighth house of taboos and joint ventures, you probably feel the need to deepen your connection with someone or something.

That might mean tackling those big conversations that come to mind or diving into financial matters with a bold attitude. Just be careful not to be a little too honest: it’s easy to tell it like it is, but remember that not everyone is ready for this kind of truth bomb.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Conversations with loved ones turn out to be more enlightening than you think, Gemini. With your celestial ruler, Mercury, in Sagittarius – and your seventh house of partnerships – expect conversations with partners or close friends to take on deeper meaning.

You might find yourself giving heartfelt advice in unexpected ways, suddenly having big-picture relationship discussions, or getting philosophical over brunch. Just be careful not to promise more than you can reasonably commit to – Mercury in Sagittarius loves big ideas, but follow-through often gets lost in the excitement.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Create more space for freedom in your daily routine, Cancer. Mercury in Sagittarius activates your sixth house of rituals, health and work habits, so expect some upheaval in your daily life!

You can embrace a new wellness trend, revamp your workspace, or tackle a huge to-do list with new enthusiasm. Remember, Mercury in Sagittarius is not known for its patience: don’t jump between so many tasks that you burn out before you get anything done.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Express yourself and showcase your larger-than-life personality, Lion. Activating your fifth house of creativity, romance, and fun, Mercury in Sagittarius may explain why you’re feeling very spontaneous these days. Whether you sign up for dance classes or do karaoke at a dive bar, you’re inspired to do something outside of your comfort zone.

Romance gets a dose of excitement and you’re ready to show off. Just be wary of going overboard with extravagant plans: it’s easy to bite off more than you can chew, but remember it’s fun and adventure you’re looking for, not the need to ‘impress others.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

If you feel called to decorate your living space, it’s no coincidence, Virgin. Mercury (your celestial ruler) activates your fourth house, that of your home, family and emotional foundations. So you’re probably considering making bold changes in your personal life, or even planning your next family trip.

Conversations with loved ones can be very philosophical since you sporadically talk about plans and dreams for the future. Just be careful not to turn everything into a “big” project – Sagittarius’ abundant energy can also be excessive.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Feeling talkative, Balance? With Mercury lighting up your curious third house of communication, your siblings, and your immediate surroundings, expect witty exchanges and an influx of ideas. It’s a great time to come up with new concepts, contact old friends, or maybe plan a little getaway.

You might even feel inspired to join a book club or take on a new creative writing project. Remember to respect your pace; It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill so much that you end up juggling too many conversations and projects at once.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Consider new streams coming, Scorpio. With Mercury in Sagittarius activating your second house of finances and values, you see money and investments from a whole new perspective. You might also feel bolder with your spending, whether it’s investing in your business or treating yourself to something meaningful.

This is a great time to think about financial opportunities, like finally exploring self-employment or selling something you’ve made by hand. Just keep a budget in mind; Mercury in Sagittarius may inspire splurges, but those credit card bills are real.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Say it loud, say it proud, Sagittarius. You’re already outspoken, but this transit reinforces your opinionated and philosophical nature. With Mercury in your sign, this transit is a call to express yourself fully and boldly.

People around you can feel your energy and you are probably the life of any gathering. Just be careful not to overwhelm others with your unfiltered honesty. Not everyone can follow your candid style, but those who do will appreciate the clarity you bring.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Retire, recharge and reflect, Capricorn. Mercury in Sagittarius ignites your 12th house of closure, healing, and unconscious patterns, pushing you to do some serious introspection. You can step away from the usual hustle and bustle to explore your inner world or rethink your spiritual practices.

Maybe you’re inspired to explore meditative practices or journaling through some big ideas. Keep your balance, as you could easily get carried away with deep thoughts to the point of losing contact with the outside world.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Get together with your best friends or use social media to share your thoughts, Aquarius. Mercury in Sagittarius lights up your 11th house of friendships, social networks, and future visions, so you’re more drawn to the social scene than ever, which is already up your alley.

You might feel compelled to network and discuss big, forward-thinking ideas with your friends and colleagues. Now is the perfect time to plan for the future or maybe even organize a group event. Just try not to overcommit, as Mercury in Sagittarius has a habit of promising the moon, but following through can be a different story.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Enthusiasm is the first step, but planning gets you to the finish line, Pisces. With Mercury in Sagittarius charging your 10th house of authority, career, and reputation, you may feel compelled to take big, bold steps in your workplace. You also think outside the box.

This could be leading a meeting, presenting a new idea, or starting a new project, as long as you bring a visionary quality to your professional life. Remember that while your ideas may be ambitious, you’ll need a solid plan to bring them to life.
