Mercury in your verbose 3rd house is sextiling fiery Mars in your sign, strengthening you to channel your willpower in a manner that is both productive and exciting.

Libra
September 23 – October 22
Epiphanies and magical thinking abound! Mercury in your 12th House of the Subconscious is collaborating with motivator Mars in your 10th House of Career, so the best way forward is by letting your mind coast until it reaches the finish line.

The less you push, the more progress you can make.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Working together is a terrific way to expand your horizons. Thanks to a special sextile between Mercury in your group-oriented 11th house and Mars in your daring 9th house, there’s a planetary emphasis on going further together. This could be as simple as you and some buddies deciding to take a trip together, but it could also be more official. Maybe you’ll join an organization or a program with far-reaching scope that will totally change your worldview. Be open to the possibilities.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Conversations can lead to major windfalls. Mercury in your career sector is zoning in on what you want and what you must do in order to achieve it. You can back that up with even more impressive firepower when Mercury boosts Mars in your 8th House of Major Finances. Seemingly typical talks could result in a big payout. That being said, it will likely be a one-time deal, like a bonus or prize. Still, projects begun under this alignment should prove especially lucrative.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
One specific person can help you see the world in a whole new fashion. Messenger Mercury is flying through your 9th House of Development, where it is sextiling action planet Mars in your 7th House of Partnerships. A loved one may act as a catalyst for you getting out into the world. Whether you leap at the chance to travel, decide to return to school, or even explore a unique spiritual practice, it’s clear that you’ll enjoy the process more with another person.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Today may be a little intense, but that doesn’t mean it will be difficult. A positive angle between Mercury in your 8th House of Power and Mars in your 6th House of Determination is offering you extra fuel for your inner flame. This is the kind of ammunition you can use to your advantage when it comes to finalizing some impressive achievements. Get to work first thing — you just might wow everyone with how much you’re able to check off your list.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Open communication can lead to a truly lovely day. You’re potentially in the mood to partner up while energetic Mercury dances through your relationship sector. The good vibes keep coming when Mercury syncs up with Mars in your fun-loving 5th house! The urge to pursue your pleasures will be all but impossible to ignore, so feel free to leave less exciting nonurgent tasks for another time. Keep in mind that you’ll enjoy yourself even more if you double up, so avoid flying solo.
