Your day, Virgo

Mercury is doing the talking for you today, and it points at your health routine. Your craft is the part of this that works. Lead with it rather than apologising for it. The thing to watch is criticism aimed inward, which tends to show up exactly when the earth in you reaches for slow progress that compounds. As a mutable sign, the useful move is to stop gathering and decide. If you get stuck, borrow something from Pisces: the opposite sign usually holds the half of the answer you skip.
