Virgo — today

That thing you bought on Tuesday because you "needed it for work" — you don't need it for work. You needed it because Thursday is three days from Monday and that's too many days. Things you'll tell yourself today that aren't true: - That silence from someone you're fond of means they're angry, not just busy - That you're listening to the conversation rather than cataloguing every word for later analysis - That you haven't already decided what the "right" outcome is and are simply remaining open - That you don't care whether they liked you - That the slightly clipped reply wasn't clipped *Mercury retrograde* in *Cancer* is dragging emotional subtext into everything you say, and you will spend time today interpreting tone that wasn't there. Tonight you'll sit down to do one thing and spend forty minutes rearranging the order in which you plan to do other things instead.
