ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Today Mercury goes retrograde until March 21, triggering unusual dreams, especially dreams from your past. You might get intuitive flashbacks about things. Secrets that you “hid from yourself” might reemerge. This will be an excellent time for therapy and counselling sessions. Tonight: Home and family.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
In the next month, old friends will resurface in your world in person, online or in your dreams and thoughts. This is because Mercury Retrograde will be taking place in your House of Friendships, reactivating relationships from your past, including groups and organizations. Tonight: Discussions.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
The next month is interesting because Mercury Retrograde is at the top of your chart, attracting old job offers and contacts with former bosses and past clients. It’s the perfect time to reconnect with these people. Guard against miscommunications with authority figures. Be clear. Tonight: Check your belongings.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★
For the next month, Mercury Retrograde will help you finish school projects, manuscripts and screenplays. You’ll be surprised at how easy this will be. It’s also a great time to study the past and research history. Unfortunately, travel plans might be delayed or canceled. Tonight: You win!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
You might become obsessed about something in the next month due to Mercury Retrograde, which begins today. Delays or revisions might be necessary with financial matters – taxes, debts, loans and inheritances. On the upside, it’s an excellent time to wrap up details in these same areas. Get stuff done! Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Look your best when you go out. You will encounter ex-partners, ex-spouses and old friends in the next month – in person, online or even in your dreams and your thoughts – because Mercury Retrograde is taking place opposite your sign in your House of Partnerships. Tonight: Be friendly.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
In the next month, Mercury Retrograde will do two things: It will encourage goofy mistakes, delays and mixed-up communications in your job. However, it will also help you finish work and wrap up whatever is on your plate. You win some; you lose some. Tonight: You’re noticed.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Old flames are bound to be back in your world in some fashion in the next month. You might come across them online or in social media. You might meet them in person. They might come up in conversation, dreams or your thoughts. In this same window, you can wrap up creative projects. Tonight: Explore and learn.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Stock the fridge, because relatives you haven’t seen for a while might be camped in your home at some point in the next month because of Mercury Retrograde. On the upside, it’s a great opportunity to finish home projects. (Put them to work.) Tonight: Check your finances.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Be mindful of your transportation because Mercury Retrograde will create delays for you in the next month – car problems, delays, missed buses, etc. Likewise, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and increased contacts with siblings are also likely. Courage! Tonight: Cooperate.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Keep an eye on your money and possessions because Mercury Retrograde will create confusion in these areas in the next month. Double-check financial transactions. If shopping, keep your receipts (and the box). However, you might reapply for a job where you tried once before. Who knows? Tonight: Get organized.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Mercury will be retrograde in your sign for the next month, attracting people from the past back into your world. However, you also might be dogged with silly errors, delays, transportation problems and misplaced items. On the upside, you can finish old business very easily! Tonight: Relax.
