Virgo — today

Two stars. Ambience adequate. Staff distracted. Bread arrived late and wasn't what you ordered. You thought you'd eat well today — proper lunch, something considered, maybe even a recipe you've been meaning to try since February. Instead, *Mercury in Cancer* has you squinting at your fridge at half twelve, genuinely moved by the emotional history of a leftover. That carrot from Tuesday? You'll compose a small internal eulogy before eating it cold over the sink, because wasting food feels wrong and cooking it feels like too much of a commitment right now. The *Moon in Capricorn* means you'll call this "being efficient." The rest of us call it eating your feelings while technically having feelings about not wasting food. You're one square away from ordering something expensive you don't really want, because the decision paralysis masquerading as standards has to land somewhere. At least the carrot deserved better.
