Sagittarius — Saturday 16 May 2026

Jupiter's in Cancer right now, which means your optimism has developed a bureaucratic function: it processes away every warning sign before it can reach your conscious mind. Things you'll tell yourself today that aren't true: - **"I just need to think it through a bit more"** — you've been thinking it through since 2019 and you're no closer to deciding, because you're not actually confused, you're frightened. - **"If it was wrong, I'd feel it"** — Sagittarius feelings are famously unreliable narrators. You feel *everything* as excitement until it becomes a problem, at which point you feel it as someone else's fault. - **"This time I've actually thought about consequences"** — the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Taurus, and even *they* can't slow you down. That should give you pause. It won't. - **"I'm fine with being alone"** — not a question of preference. A question of whether you've ever sat still long enough to find out. - **"I'll figure it out when I get there"** — you always do. That's the tragedy. You'll never know what would've happened if you'd figured it out *before*. Your real fear isn't failure. It's arriving somewhere and realising you've got nothing left to run from.
