Aries — November 7, 2026

With the remit still unsettled, a softer exchange will not by itself settle who carries the extra work. Mercury at 8.60° Scorpio quincunx Saturn at 8.90° Aries (orb 0.30°) is today’s pivot, exposing a mismatch between the request and the time or authority allotted; it shifts your move from defending the handover to renegotiating its limits. Mercury retrograde favours checking the wording before you accept responsibility for a deadline you cannot control. If the team lead asks you to absorb a late change, agree only once an existing deliverable is taken off your list.
