Work and money troubles consume your mind at present. Take a short trip to distract yourself. Write, photograph, engage in activities that satisfy your creative spirit. New opportunities await and along with them another source of income. Shopping is especially appealing today but be mindful of your monthly budget. Spend time with loved ones to recharge and forge memories. You are successfully balancing work and home life. <em>Balance eases suffering and brings fulfillment.</em>

Diversity is the spice of your life for the next few months as curious Mercury wings into Cancer and your venturesome tenth house today until August 9. This is an extra-long cycle because the winged messenger will be retrograde from June 29 to July 23, giving you even more opportunities to “reach across the aisle” and make friends with people from very different backgrounds, cultures and even political leanings. For some Scorpios, the connection could turn into something far hotter than platonic!
