Aries — Thursday 25 June 2026

That face you'll pull mid-afternoon, squinting at nothing, recalculating. **Things you'll tell yourself today that aren't true:** - You've been a brilliant friend lately, and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't properly acknowledged how much you *meant* to be there for them. - The reason you haven't called is that you've been giving them space. - Your advice was helpful. The fact that they didn't take it is their loss. - You remembered the thing they told you last time. You definitely retained that. - You're not competing with them. You're just aware of where you both are. *Mars* is grinding through late Taurus, square nothing, going nowhere fast, which means that restless I-should-be-further-ahead feeling has attached itself to your friendships like a barnacle. You're measuring without admitting you're measuring. You're a wonderful friend. In theory. In the abstract. In future.
