Mercury square Jupiter
It’s never a good idea to assume that you’re the smartest person in the room – especially when you’re entering totally unfamiliar territory. We’re taught that if we puff up our chests, barrage people with facts and figures, or use the latest lingo that we’ll impress and perhaps even win over skeptics and critics. Not a good idea when Jupiter is in Scorpio. Now Jupiter will always be the planet of hospitality so you can expect your audience to smile and nod in all the right places but that doesn’t mean they’re on your side. It’s better to save the dog and pony show for another day and to enter with questions rather than slogans. You might learn something new. Signs most affected: Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
