Aries

March 21 to April 20

Mercury began its retrograde phase yesterday in Virgo, so it’s time to ensure everything is in order. This isn’t the period to rush or push deadlines to the brink. Instead, give yourself plenty of leeway to complete tasks. Procrastination is your enemy now, so try to tackle your to-do list early to avoid the typical chaos of miscommunications and technical malfunctions that can ensue.

So, if this occurs try to approach this reunion with openness and curiosity.

As Mercury rewinds over the coming three weeks, your attention is drawn to unfinished administrative tasks that may be causing subtle stress. Ready to work through this backlog?

August 24 to September 23

It may feel like you’re in the hot seat, feeling every mistake acutely. With Mercury, your ruling planet, regressing now, this phase might amplify your natural tendency to be perfect. Everyone, even you, makes the occasional slip, especially under these retrogrades. Instead of striving for flawless outcomes, allow yourself to accept that mistakes are part of the learning curve.

September 24 to October 23

As Mercury back-pedals in a secluded zone, the seeds you’ve sown and forgotten or overlooked are ready to bloom in ways you may not have anticipated. Over the next few weeks, events will align to reward your earlier efforts, possibly in areas where you hadn’t expected progress. This phase is a reminder of the power of patience and the importance of groundwork laid long ago.

October 24 to November 22

The planet of communication, Mercury is nudging you to revisit relationships from your past. An unexpected reunion can be a chance to resolve unfinished business or rediscover a cherished connection. Engage in deep conversations that may heal old wounds or reignite lost passions. In addition, turning back to help you move forwards can enhance your inner strength and clarity.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

The coming three weeks aren’t the time to rush or push through new deals or projects. It’s better to double down on the detail around contracts and commitments. Each document demands your scrutiny, so read the fine print, ask questions and get a second opinion. Delays can be fortuitous too, allowing you the space to catch potential errors or reconsider your strategy.

December 22 to January 21

The planet of commerce, Mercury, is now retracing its steps, so brace yourself for some administrative hiccups that might slow down progress, particularly in areas meant to broaden your horizons like travel or learning. These delays, although annoying, can be your prompt to stay alert. It’s a good idea to ensure that everything is in order before you proceed. It will save you potential angst.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Don your proverbial Detective’s Mac and address any lingering issues that have subtly undermined your progress. This is a prime time for introspection, allowing you to analyse and understand the nature of such obstacles. Perhaps it’s an outdated belief, a past failure or an unresolved conflict. Whatever it is, this influence can aid you in analysing these complexities with precision.

Someone from your past may re-emerge, and their appearance could assist you with current projects as well as enriching your social life.
