General Daily Insight for June 29, 2025
Everything seems more extreme than usual under today’s stars. Mercury in proud Leo is shooting arrows across the sky as it opposes nefarious Pluto in egalitarian Aquarius at 2:10 am EDT, making it only too easy for tempers to flare and sharp words to be exchanged. The Moon will move on to analytical Virgo, reminding us to proofread our knee-jerk responses to ensure they’re actually reasonable. As the Moon embraces fiery Mars, we must think twice before blurting out any angry remarks!
Aries
March 21 – April 19
People may not respond well to any showboating today. You are undoubtedly ready to put yourself out there while Mercury is winging its way through your fame-seeking 5th house. That “pick-me” energy could cause some trouble when gossipy Mercury opposes Pluto in your group-oriented 11th house! People might feel like you aren’t being a team player — they won’t be happy to let you get away with taking the spotlight for yourself. Make sure that there’s room for everyone to be included.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Beware of emotional outbursts. Your feelings are almost unavoidable while communicator Mercury is in your sensitive 4th house, but fights won’t reflect well on you when Mercury snaps at Pluto in your determined 10th house. A VIP or other supervisor could notice you being a bit reactive and view you less-than-favorably as a result, or perhaps you’re a little too honest when it comes to expressing your opinions in a professional setting. Take time in private to decompress before you get overwhelmed in public.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
It isn’t easy to gauge your limitations right now. Your mind is bubbling over with possibilities and ideas while Mercury is in your 3rd House of Conversation, but you may not know how far to take your thoughts as Mercury opposes Pluto in your 9th House of Extension. Practically anything may seem possible at first glance, but that doesn’t mean it will be quite so simple in practice. Think before you act, or you could set yourself up for difficulties you never even considered.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
A “simple” approach isn’t going to be easy at a time like this. A frantic opposition between Mercury in your 2nd House of Earned Income and Pluto in your 8th House of Intense Links is going to have you pinging back and forth between basic essentials and much more intense topics. You might want to check off chores on your to-do list, but Pluto will likely bring a few heavier matters to your door that require careful consideration. Handle things one at a time.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You can push someone’s buttons as quickly as they can push yours. Everything may look unusually extreme or dire as Mercury in your leonine sign opposes transformational Pluto in your alliance sector. They’re stirring up potential conflicts, one after another! Getting wrapped up in drama can happen with little warning, whether it’s your own fuss or someone else’s. Strive to maintain a sense of calm in even the most heated debate. Staying level-headed and keeping your cool will be essential.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Today can feel like a bit of a jolt — one it’ll be nigh impossible to see coming. It wouldn’t be all that shocking if you’re somewhat out of it, what with distractible Mercury in your disconnected 12th house at the moment. On the other hand, Mercury also pushes Pluto in your practical 6th house, reminding you of all the work to be done here and now. You can’t avoid it any longer! Snap out of it and attend to matters at hand as required.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
It won’t be easy to ignore your desires, no matter how hard you try. Spending time with all kinds of people should be quite fun while Mercury is in your 11th House of Society, but that energy becomes exponentially more personal when the cosmic communicator opposes Pluto in your 5th House of Personal Pleasure. You may decide to break off from the herd to go do your own thing, which is totally valid. Just make sure you do so in a diplomatic fashion.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Something under your roof is demanding your attention. You can happily focus on professional matters while Mercury is in your 10th House of Business, but your energy will be yanked back home when that planet opposes Pluto in your 4th House of Family. A relative or roommate could stir up drama. A sudden issue could strike involving your abode that requires you to drop everything in order to attend to it. Avoid reacting to any issues in an overly emotional manner.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You can only fly so far before you need to come back down to earth. The skies are hosting a tense opposition between Mercury in your colorful 9th house and Pluto in your local 3rd house. This could feel like there’s a ball and chain dragging you down, when you’d rather soar off beyond the horizon. Potential adventures will have to wait while you deal with real issues. Once you’ve checked those off, you can get back to more exciting expeditions.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Questions of ownership may arise today. Your mind is aligned with rather complicated matters while Mercury is in your 8th House of Joint Property. Well, at least until Mercury snaps at Pluto in your 2nd House of Material Security, pressuring you to stand your ground and defend your position. Someone may expect something from you that you aren’t entirely prepared to give, but that doesn’t automatically mean that they’re being unreasonable. Choose your words wisely before you go telling anyone anything.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
People may not respond to you the way that you’re expecting them to. Mercury in your competitive 7th house is grumbling at extreme Pluto in your unconventional sign, so your peers can ruffle your feathers by barely lifting a finger. If someone says something foolish or idiotic, try not to bite their head off for it. Of course, if they’re being offensive, that’s another matter entirely. Pick your battles wisely, because you don’t want to waste time and energy where it isn’t required.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Even the most responsible Pisces can drop the ball today. You have plenty of things to deal with while Mercury is in your 6th House of Chores, putting you in an efficient state of mind. Watch out! That energy gets turned on its head when Mercury pounces on Pluto in your 12th House of the Subconscious. Issues may crop up unexpectedly, or maybe you forgot about an outstanding matter requiring your attention. Prepare for the day ASAP to avoid getting overwhelmed.
