Pisces — Saturday 16 May 2026

That face you'll make when a friend cancels plans — the one that says *fine, no, honestly it's fine* while your eyes do something completely different — that's today's opening act. Neptune sits in *Aries*, which is doing nothing for your grip on what's actually happening versus what you've emotionally pre-rendered as a short film. Your friend probably cancelled because they're tired. You will have decided, before they've finished typing, that it means something. That it's a pattern. That you're always the one who cares more. You may be right. You may be catastrophically wrong. Neptune isn't telling. And this is the thing about you as a friend that nobody says loudly enough: you don't just support people, you *absorb* them. You carry their problems home in your pockets. The Sun and Mercury pressed together in *Taurus* are asking you to say the straightforward thing — directly, out loud, like a person with a body — instead of feeling it very deeply in private and hoping someone notices. They won't notice. This evening you'll find yourself explaining someone else's emotional situation to a third party for forty minutes, and you'll realise, halfway through, that you've forgotten to have your own.
