Joni Mitchell — "A Case of You" (1971)

Drink the case. Stay on your feet.

Joni Mitchell, "A Case of You," recorded for Blue in 1971. The song is a woman drinking a love like wine — I could drink a case of you, darling, and I would still be on my feet — and the trick of it is that the pleasure and the warning are the same line. She isn't bragging. She's also not quite confessing. She's holding something in both hands and refusing, for four minutes, to set it down.

That's you this week, Cancer. Jupiter is still home in your sign, pouring something generous into the glass — abundance, recognition, a piece of news that lands well. But the room is loud. Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and the Moon are all standing in Aries with their elbows out, asking when, asking how, asking why not faster. The Sun and Mercury, off in Taurus, are the only voices who don't want anything from you — they nod across the room and let you breathe.

Monday is heavy, don't take it personally. Wednesday someone family-shaped asks for something that costs you more than they realize. Friday the Moon shifts and the pressure thins; use the gap. Saturday is for water — sea, bath, tears, whichever's nearest. Sunday Mercury crosses into Gemini and the noise behind your head finally quiets. Don't explain the glass to anyone who didn't pour it.
