Aries
March 21 to April 20
With Mercury turning retrograde in Pisces, your inner world becomes a misty wonderland for the next three weeks. Logic may take a coffee break while instinct takes the wheel. Get ready, as miscommunications, tech hiccups or dreamlike distractions are likely, especially around old emotions or unfinished creative projects. Slow down, reflect and revisit rather than charge ahead.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your social circles and goals may enter a state of some confusion. Expect delays, mixed signals or a few surprise reunions with people from your past. Plans may shift, Wi-Fi may wobble and texts might need extra decoding. But there’s gold in the glitch, as Mercury’s rewind phase is a perfect time to reconnect with old dreams, even if things don’t make perfect sense just yet.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Over the coming weeks your sharp mind might be running in lyrical circles. Career plans, public image and big decisions may blur, stall or loop back around for review. It’s less about pushing forward and more about rethinking your path with depth and subtlety. You may have genius epiphanies while daydreaming in the shower. Trust that Mercury’s rewind holds hidden insight.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your inner explorer may be navigating a misty sea of dreams, beliefs and wavering travel plans. Communication gets confusing around learning, legal matters or long-distance connections. But Mercury’s retro phase isn’t about getting lost, it’s about finding meaning. Revisit old wisdom, spiritual practices or that half-finished novel in your drawer. Deep wisdom is your compass now.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Shared finances, emotional entanglements and unspoken feelings rise to the surface. It’s not the time to sign contracts or deep dive into serious money matters without reading the small print twice. But as Mercury reverses, it’s the perfect moment to reflect, release and rediscover your emotional power. Past loves or buried truths may reappear, asking for closure or a second look.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Over the coming weeks the planet of talk and thought moves backwards, turning your relationships into a confusing painting of emotions, miscommunications and meaningful reconnections. Expect old lovers, past misunderstandings or long-lost texts to resurface. Your usually clear communication may feel foggy, but your instincts are likely spot on, so use them well.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Your daily routine might feel more like a surrealist painting than a to-do list. Schedules may blur, emails might disappear and your keys could vanish into thin air. But beneath retrograde chaos can lay a cosmic invitation to rethink how you care for your body, mind and spirit. Revisit old wellness goals, refine your workflow or finally listen to what your intuition’s been whispering.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Your creative waters run deep yet could be disorienting. Old connections, unfinished art or half-written love letters may resurface, needing a review. Romance can get confusing, while your inner muse craves time to wander. This isn’t the moment to force anything. As Mercury regresses, feel your way forward. Imaginative projects and matters of the heart require more time to bloom.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
As the planet of communication rewinds through sensitive Pisces for the next three weeks, your inner compass may feel uncertain, especially at home. Family dynamics, emotional roots or domestic plans could also seem hazy, delayed or suddenly resurface from the past. Forget about renovating the kitchen or your relationship with your childhood, instead relax and ruminate.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
Emails may get lost, texts misread and directions, whether literal or metaphorical, could get muddled. But there’s a silver lining, as Mercury’s rewind means it’s time to rethink how you speak, listen and connect. Old conversations, forgotten ideas or long-lost contacts may resurface, asking for closure or a new perspective. Don’t rush the reply, let the insights bubble up slowly.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
Over the weeks ahead finances, values and your worth might feel wrapped in a dreamy mist. Budget issues, delayed payments or impulse buys involving questionable logic could pop up. But don’t fret, as this is your chance to rethink what truly matters. As Mercury reverses, revisit old talents, dust off abandoned projects and know you’re rich in wisdom, so spend that generously.

February 20 to March 20
