Horoscope For Today: Friday, June 14, 2024

If yesterday was the preview, today is the movie: it’s Mercury cazimi day. While we had one back on April 11th in the wake of the tumultuous North American Eclipse, Mercury was retrograde at the time; this cazimi is likely to feel less intense and more inspirational, albeit a little bit chaotic. It’s Gemini season, after all, and things tend to get a little unpredictable this time of year.

In the early hours of the morning the moon continues its transit through the late degrees of careful and analytical Virgo, and at midnight it forms an exact square to the sun in Gemini. Mercury trails behind eagerly until 12:32 AM EST, when it enters the heart of the sun at 23° of Gemini. This degree is associated with Aquarius, so all things technology, electronics, friendship, and social groups are going to be magnified today.

Combine that with all of the mercurial energy going on in the cosmos today and you can easily delineate the theme of the day: fast-paced, potentially heated conversation on social media—and probably about social media, too, now that Jupiter is back in Gemini for the first time since 2012 and we’re about to turn back the clock to the first summer of Instagram.

It was a simpler time, but we all know, intuitively, that no matter how many Valencia filters we put over our photos, we can never reclaim that magic. Most of our once-beloved platforms are dying, and as a collective we are going to have to navigate the pressure to find a new place to congregate online. Is a new platform on its way? Could one potentially be announced or launched today, under this highly auspicious transit? It’s possible.

It’s even more likely that women will be dominating the social media discourse, at least in the mid-morning. Expect discussion about how our existing and future platforms can be more female-friendly, and backlash to exploitative use of AI that impacts women and girls. 10:51 AM is peak female rage time: at this exact moment, the moon conjoins Black Moon Lilith at 28°, a degree commonly associated with Cancer, womanhood, reproduction, fertility, and maternal health.

By the early afternoon, the cazimi will have progressed one degree and the energy will be more sensitive and spiritual. 24° is known as a Piscean degree, and it might reflect the emotional hangover everyone is experiencing after an especially intense morning. Allow yourself to grieve what we have lost as a society and wallow in a bit of nostalgia. Just don’t let it distract you from all the possibilities that lay ahead.

Just as you’re hitting your mid-afternoon slump, the moon progresses into harmony- and-peace-loving Libra at 2:13 PM. From here on out, the energy will be less combative and more collaborative.

It goes without saying that if you work in the online space, you might be in for an interesting day. If, however, you can detach, it might be a good idea to put your phone on silent tonight. Emotions are bound to be running high today and there is such a thing as being too informed.

If you’re less interested in the geopolitical state of the world and the future of technology, read on for your personal forecast. Your rising sign will provide you with the most accurate information.

Aries

As the moon moves through your sixth and seventh houses today, you’ll be focused on incorporating better daily habits into your close relationships. Take the time to discuss small ways you can make your lives easier and your bodies healthier. With the Mercury cazimi taking place in your third house, you’re going to be more than a little tempted to engage in heated discourse. If you can avoid saying anything inflammatory, it’s in your best interest, as such things are unhelpful and will ultimately just make you look petty and vindictive in the long run. Use your gift with words to communicate your ideas effectively.

Taurus

Today the moon progresses through both your fifth and sixth houses, allowing you the freedom to indulge and then, later, the energy to recalibrate. If you treat yourself this morning, you’ll feel motivated to hit the gym this afternoon. Your good fortune is likely to be monetary, with the Mercury cazimi taking place in your second house and possibly delivering a surprise reward in the form of a raise, a new job offer, or the spark of inspiration for a side hustle. If you are looking for a good day to launch your new business, today is one of the most auspicious by far.

Gemini

If anyone is certain to feel the impacts of today’s transits, it’s you—the Mercury cazimi is taking place in your first house, amplifying your personal identity, appearance, and social status. It’s the ideal self-care day. Luxuriate with a facial, book a hair appointment, or shoot some OOTD TikToks. Meanwhile, on a more practical level, the moon will move through your fourth and fifth houses, providing you with a healthy balance of cozy alone time and fun, romantic spontaneity.

Cancer

As the moon transits your third and fourth houses, you’ll find yourself honing your communicative abilities within the home and learning how to make your space a safer haven for everyone involved, be it your family of origin, the family you’ve built with your partner, or just you and your dog. No matter what your living situation is like, it is valuable to find community outside of your immediate circle. Go for a walk around the neighborhood simply with the intent to observe, and strike up a conversation with a stranger if the opportunity arises. The Mercury cazimi in your twelfth house provides you with an excellent chance to open up your heart to new possibilities and share intimate details that will help others who are struggling in similar ways.

Leo

Over the course of the day, the moon will ingress out of your second house and into your third, presenting you with the opportunity to share in the wealth. If you receive a surprise bonus or promotion, take your friends or family out to celebrate. Life’s victories are best enjoyed with your favorite people by your side. Meanwhile, the Mercury cazimi empowers you to branch out and broaden your horizons, offering you lucrative opportunities to engage with new people and make new friends who will help you reach your professional goals. Wear your favorite outfit to dinner and don’t censor your leonine spirit. Your warmth and courage will be well-received.

Virgo

The moon makes a trip through your first and second houses today, first putting you in the spotlight and later forcing you to take inventory of your finances. If you went a little too hard while online shopping, you might have some buyer’s remorse this afternoon. Be responsible with your money, investing only in quality items and services that will help you reach your highest potential. Your luck is about to change, and it’s important to be ready for fame when it comes: the Mercury cazimi in your tenth house is going to put you directly under a very bright spotlight, and if you don’t feel sufficiently prepared for this kind of public attention, you might find it deeply overwhelming. Be sure of what you stand for, and what your goals are, before you step into the public arena.

Libra

While the moon is in your twelfth house, you might feel as though your spirits are dampened by some force beyond your control. In reality, you’re just toiling in solitude for a while before la lune moves into your first house and places you in a more public position. You’ll feel more confident and empowered this afternoon as you move through the world, charming everyone with your characteristic enigmatic beauty. As the Mercury cazimi kicks off in your ninth house, you can expect lots of dialogue surrounding your beliefs, spiritual practices, and studies. If you’re put on the spot and expected to defend your point of view, imagine it as a kind of cosmic commencement speech.

Scorpio

Today the moon progresses through your eleventh and twelfth houses, meaning you’re likely to have a very extroverted morning and a very introverted afternoon—to summarize it as concisely as possible. You’ll appreciate the shift in energy as your own begins to run out after lunch; your social battery is probably going to be feeling pretty drained, and you’ll want to spend time in solitary reflection, journaling or indulging in some covert retail therapy on the Sephora website. The Mercury cazimi in your eighth house could deliver important news regarding investments or debts, or possibly represent a turning point in your online side hustle. If you’ve been hoping to start doing it for a living rather than simply during your 5-9, this might be the day you receive some exciting news.

Sagittarius

You begin the day taking the lead on a project or giving a solo presentation, with the moon in your tenth house. By the afternoon you’ll be relieved to be working in a more collaborative environment, where you can test your unique ideas in the court of public opinion. Meanwhile, the Mercury cazimi in your seventh house brings exactly what everyone hopes to hear: a potential meet-cute, engagement, or other big milestone in your relationship. If you’re happily single, make the first move on Instagram and DM your favorite influencer. This leap of faith might not only bring a new friend into your life, but a potential business partner.

Capricorn

The moon moves through your ninth and tenth houses today, placing emphasis on everything you’ve learned—and how you choose to integrate it into your public image. You might be the one on hand with a particular rare skill set that is suddenly and urgently needed at the office. Don’t hesitate to offer assistance that goes above and beyond the call of duty. (Although it’s admittedly unlikely that any Capricorn placement would in the first place!) The Mercury cazimi lights up your sixth house, inciting major change in your workplace and potentially leading you right into a new and more rewarding job.

Aquarius

With the moon making its way through your eighth and ninth houses today, you’ll start the day off feeling moodier and more reserved than usual, before choosing to emerge from your shell with lots of new knowledge you wish to share. Don’t be afraid to share what you’ve learned with the class. Your ideas might be unconventional, and they might ruffle a few feathers, but your Aquarian eccentricity is so badly needed, especially in traditional environments, and your purpose is to shake things up and be a bit of a radical. The Mercury cazimi in your fifth house provides a beautiful new beginning: a potential pregnancy, a new romantic affair, or a creative project that you are very passionate about.

Pisces

The morning is all about your partnerships, whether they’re romantic or business; the afternoon is your alone time. This is due to the moon’s transit through your seventh and eighth houses, the latter bringing a darker and more introspective energy. Embrace this, using it as an opportunity to journal or go to therapy rather than ruminate on your fears. The Mercury cazimi takes place in your fourth house, so you might learn you’re able to fully work from home, or you’re going to be relocating sometime soon. On the other hand, you might learn some very positive news from one of your close family members. Don’t hesitate to hop on a train to visit them and celebrate their successes, too. Life is short.
