Gemini — Friday 3 July 2026

When did you last check your bank account and actually read the numbers, rather than clocking the general shape of them and moving on? *Mercury retrograde* in Cancer is eating your short-term memory, which is unfortunate because it has apparently chosen to start with the figure you spent at the bar last night. Meanwhile, *Mars* is sitting in your own sign, conjoined with *Uranus*, which means your impulse control is currently running on whatever the electrical equivalent of a fraying cable is. You think today will be fine because payday is close. What will actually happen is that you'll spend fifteen pounds on something ambient and unnecessary before 2pm and feel oddly righteous about it. Is that number in your account what you'd call a number, or more of a vibe?
