Virgo

Mercury in Scorpio sharpens your eye for detail — yours and everyone else's — while retrograde Uranus in Gemini keeps your career direction in flux. This Friday rewards depth over breadth, so pick one thread and follow it all the way instead of tidying five at once.

Communication is where this lands. A message you send may be read more seriously than you intended, so slow down and choose words that say exactly what you mean the first time. If a conversation feels tense, ask one clarifying question before defending your position; you will often find the misunderstanding is smaller than the mood suggested.

Before sending anything important this Friday, read it once as if a stranger wrote it. One removed word usually does more than three added sentences.
