Mercury trine Uranus

Right now Mercury is traveling through Sagittarius, the zodiac sign of justice. You have put up with blustery types who are in the wrong for long enough and it’s time to bring them to heel. But you don’t have to get loud or willful. The wonderful thing about the Mercury/Uranus trine is that when you get mad you don’t get even; when you get mad you get smart. You hold the trump card (maybe it’s a piece of correspondence, a text message, or voicemail) and it’s time to play it. Apply the screws – gently but firmly – and bullies will take their marching orders from you instead. Signs most affected: Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius
