Daily guide to what the stars have in store for YOU - February 10, 2025
The well-known Murphy’s Law – if something can go wrong, it will – is one that can’t be tested.
Just like the infamous ‘buttered toast’ experiment, where slices of toast were sent flying in an uncontrolled manner over a sawdust floor, any attempts to disprove the law are doomed to fail.
Even though it’s unverifiable, Murphy’s Law serves as an important reminder when tackling life’s unexpected situations – if you always prepare for the worst, you are likely to be pleasantly surprised today as Mercury squares Uranus.

Is IT better to ask questions or trust the answers you already have? Mercury, your ruler, squares Uranus today, creating a whirlwind of thoughts and possibilities. The key is to trust your instincts.

CANCER
(June 23 - July 23)
How much of your life is shaped by what you expect to happen? How much influence do your thoughts have on your reality? Today’s Mercury-Uranus square challenges your assumptions and invites you to consider the unexpected. To open your mind is easier said than done. Doing so risks your vulnerable heart. Today, though, be brave enough to trust in the potential for good news – that comes in the form of a silver lining of clarity to what has felt like a frustratingly cloudy situation in your world.

LEO
(July 24 - August 23)
The best presents we get in life rarely arrive wrapped up neatly with a bow. Sometimes we don’t even recognise the gifts we’re given until after the moment for gratitude has passed. Often, the cosmos gives us a package that feels more like a problem. Today, as Mercury and Uranus clash, you may feel the ground beneath your feet shifting, but what if that’s exactly what’s needed to move forward? When the dust settles, you’ll see how this aligns with a bigger plan.

VIRGO
(August 24 - September 23)
Does perfection really exist, or is it just a permanently moving target? Mercury squares Uranus today, shifting a set of goal posts you might not have even realised you were aiming for. Instead of focusing on what’s gone awry, consider what it’s teaching you. You might discover that imperfection is where the real magic lies. What if today’s detours lead to unexpected treasures and a lasting sense of satisfaction? Set your sights on ‘perfectly good enough’ and you can reframe any setback you encounter.

LIBRA
(September 24 - October 23)
Do you always have to keep the peace, or is it OK to stir the waters every now and then? Today’s Mercury-Uranus clash might disrupt your usual calm when it comes to what you really want from a relationship. But what if this shake-up is exactly what’s needed to bring honesty, and then harmony, to a situation that truly requires it? Don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo or to stand your ground. You sense it’s time for a breath of fresh air and authenticity.

SCORPIO
(October 24 - November 22)
What lies beneath the surface of your past? Whenever we dig we run the risk of finding something we might not like. But life’s real treasure, as you know, is often buried too. Today’s energy encourages you to dig deep as Mercury squares Uranus and uncovers hidden truths. While revelations might be unsettling at first, they hold the key to a breakthrough. Sometimes, clarity arrives after a little chaos and getting your hands dirty. What you find will be worth it.

SAGITTARIUS
(November 23 - December 21)
What do you do when life throws you an unexpected curveball? Do you let it roll away into the bushes and forget about it? Of course not. You know that if the universe has something it wants you to deal with, it rarely stops after one near miss. Mercury’s clash with Uranus might bring unexpected challenges to your day, but your natural optimism will see you through. What if today’s surprises are simply the cosmos pointing you to what you need to see?

CAPRICORN
(December 22 - January 20)
You are too wise to believe that you can control everything you’d like to. Part of growing is recognising when it is time to let go. It is, of course, easier said than done but you are a Capricorn. You thrive on a challenge! Today, Mercury makes an aspect to Uranus that reminds you that some things are better left to unfold naturally. Instead of focusing on what’s beyond your control, ask yourself how to make the most of what is right in front of you.

AQUARIUS
(January 21 - February 19)
Annoyingly, life often refuses to follow the rules of logic. Aquarians like you, though, are well-equipped to deal with this. You tackle life with the sort of unconventional approach that makes you a match for tricky situations that seem to defy all rationality. Today, as Mercury squares up to Uranus, you get a chance to show what you’re made of. A situation today might be different to what was expected, but so are you.

PISCES
(February 20 - March 20)
Sometimes, no matter how reasonable an approach is taken, the facts and details don’t add up to what we feel is right. It can be difficult, then, to trust what is right before you. Today, as tension between Mercury and Uranus stirs up uncertainty, your secret weapon – your intuition – is showing you what you can rely on. Disruption and delay will make you look at things differently, and that could clarify what is aligning well, and what is not quite right for you.
