Pisces — Friday 22 May 2026

The universe has sent you a beautiful Friday evening ahead, which is exactly when Neptune decides to cloud your judgement about what constitutes a reasonable amount of cheese. *Venus square Neptune* is the real problem today — and for Pisces, whose ruling planet is already neck-deep in *Aries* and therefore rather more delusional than usual, this creates a specific condition where you genuinely cannot taste what something costs. Not emotionally. Literally. You will stand in a nice deli, or a wine merchant, or in front of a restaurant menu written on a blackboard in chalk, and your brain will simply refuse to process the numbers as real. *Venus in Cancer* wants comfort. Neptune wants romance. The two of them together will have you convinced that the expensive thing is the necessary thing. It isn't. The *Sun conjunct Uranus* in Gemini suggests you'll rationalise it brilliantly — two or three different reasons, each contradicting the last, all of them persuasive. The bill will not care how compelling your internal monologue was. **Order the second-cheapest bottle. You always should, and you never do.**
