The planets influence the energy of each of the 12 zodiac signs, and while some have a specific ruling planet, others share the same one – like Gemini and Virgo.
Both ruled by Mercury, the two star signs will face challenges caused by the position of the planet on Friday, July 14, according to an astrologer.
People born under the Gemini and Virgo star signs may notice conflict in their communication style and ability to focus, due to the position of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn.
The Cafe Astrology expert said: “The Sun and Mercury form minor challenging aspects to Saturn this morning, pointing to some sensitivity to how others receive us and our ideas.
“Mental anxiety can interfere with making good, practical choices, and there can be communication challenges or mental blocks, or the desire to enjoy ourselves can clash with our material goals.”
In astrology, Mercury is “the messenger” that rules day-to-day expression and communication and represents coordination.
While it co-rules both Gemini and Virgo, the astrologer noted that all signs may be influenced by the position of the planet today.
Meanwhile, Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and is associated with restriction and limitation.
According to the Cafe Astrology expert, the 12 zodiacs may notice that their movements and initiatives are slowed down by their doubts today.
They added that while this may seem negative, it can be a “helpful process” when taking a break from pushing ahead.
The Astrologer explained: “As the day advances, a Sun-Uranus sextile brings a theme of progress. This transit stirs our willingness to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations.
“Spirits are high, and we’re excited about change. Group connections can be enlightening, and we’ll do the best for ourselves if we embrace flexibility and innovation. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make improvements now.”
As the New Moon on July 17 approaches, another notable event is the Sun sextile Uranus. As explained by the Cafe Astrology expert, this position encourages a “willingness to adapt to new circumstances”.
They claimed that this applies to ideas and unfamiliar situations too, which means it is a good time to join organisations and groups, or other social events.
Said to be “englightening” for the 12 zodiacs, this celestial event may help to find creative solutions to problems posed by Mercury and Saturn.
The astrologer urged people to acknowledge that “flexibility is key to success” today.
