Aries
Mercury in Sagittarius inspires big ideas, but its awkward angle to the restless energies of Uranus could leave you feeling scattered. Plans might shift last minute, or conversations could veer wildly off-script – especially if you’re toasting in the New Year. Keep your wits sharp and your sense of fun handy, as a surprise twist could be the highlight of today. Whether you’re celebrating loudly or quietly, expect the unforeseen and roll with it.

Taurus
Things may not go exactly as planned today, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It may be wise to expect some quirky encounters, surprise guests or last-minute changes that test your usual calm. Still, you have a knack for making the best of things and today will likely be no different. A little spontaneity could lead to the most memorable part of a delightful evening – whether you’re glammed up or cosy at home, welcome any surprises.

Gemini
Today could bring unexpected twists as your chatty guide Mercury angles awkwardly to unpredictable Uranus. Plans may change, people surprise, or tech might misbehave, so it will pay to be flexible and see, where possible, the comedy in such situations. Dialogues could veer off course, but that’s half the fun. A fun chat or left field idea might spark something brilliant – even if it’s not quite what you expected.
