Mercury Retrograde in Gemini — This is not a drill! The planet of thought and communication will start stumbling backward on May 18, until June 11. It's a great time to revise, reevaluate and redesign ideas and modes of communication. Take it slow and steady, and triple check your work!
ARIES
March 21 — April 19
No one hates a delay like you, Aries, and you may find yourself tapping your foot incessantly this week. Your ruler, gung-ho Mars, is facing off with taskmaster Saturn, who's laying down new boundary lines in your House of Horizons. Broad ideas and inspirations may run into brick walls crafted from time limits and resource restrictions this week, but your stars say you should hold your ground. This too shall pass and once this little raincloud breaks, your seeds will be watered by fresh, nutritious waters. Breakthroughs are forecast — use this time to polish your plan.
TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
“Where there's a will, there's a way” should definitely be on your coat of arms, Taurus. And normally, patience is one of your finest virtues. But this week, the power of the Sun in your House of Self is being opposed by stingy Saturn in your House of The Other. You may run into obstacles or even go to the mat with supervisors or other authority figures this week. Try not to take these delays or dressings-down personally — you have a lot to gain from insight into any flaws in the plan and when this energy passes, it will be all systems go. So, get your ducks in a row.
GEMINI
May 21 — June 21
You're chock full of words and determined to share them with others this week, Gemini — but a little caution would serve you well! Your ruler, mental Mercury, is charging in alongside motivated Mars in your House of Self making you more driven, competitive and eager to take charge than ever. Yet with your ruler about to start his murky moonwalk, you'd be well advised to channel this drive into really polishing up these plans and ideas rather than rushing to deliver them. A measured approach is forecast to bring new rewards or surprise gifts. Take it slow.
CANCER
June 22 — July 22
It's a great week to be you, Cancer. Your normally enviable intuition is set to be even more on-target than usual now, with swift-and-sure Mars firing through your House of Secrets to light your way. Mental Mercury is discombobulating things next to him though, so you may find that a bit of extra patience and precision is required to have the follow through you desire. Venus is still shining her charm and beauty on your sign, giving you an extra edge. Be careful about overindulging this week, on sweets or other treats, as Jupiter is encouraging you to take all and ask for seconds.
LEO
July 23 — Aug. 22
If your life were a community, Leo, who would be its pillars? Mercury's moonwalking through your House of Allies and Associations, asking you to examine closely the way you handle your friends — and the way they handle you. Have you gotten too caught up in yourself and your plans, or vice versa? Are you giving away so much of yourself that you have nothing left in your personal energy bank? Take the advice of finance experts — pay yourself first. Then offer your help from a place of abundance. And don't forget to save some of that spark for a rainy day.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 — Sept. 22
You have a unique way of turning challenges into opportunities, Virgo. That talent will come in handy this week when your ruler, Mercury, starts his backward trek through hour House of Career and Destiny, stumbling backward past motivated Mars, who's pushing you to show everyone what you've got, now-now-now! The good news is you've got plenty to show off. The not-so-bad news is that you must be very careful with your plans — even those that seemed finished could use another review. Be diligent and stay positive. You'll have the help you need.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 — Oct. 22
You tend to be a big-picture type of person, Libra, if only because the whole seems so much more beautiful than all the nuts and bolts it took to create it. With Mercury stumbling backward through your House of Horizons, though, the next three weeks are an ideal time for you to make sure all the "little things" are taken care of. To-do lists may not always be lofty or glamorous, but completed ones can certainly pave the way for more fun, money and time with loved ones, all of which are forecast. Take this time to repair yourself — you'll shine when your time comes.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 — Nov. 21
It's the perfect time to make your money work for you, Scorpio, and not the other way around. People panic when they hear the phrase "Mercury Retrograde," but better than any other sign, you know that shadows only intensify the light. For the next three weeks, use this rearview-glancing energy to redistribute your money and reallocate your debts. Mercury is looking over his shoulder in Your House of The Other, indicating that a little reorganizing of your investments — personal and monetary — could yield dividends. Invest in yourself.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 — Dec. 21
Who do you count as your closest partners, Sagittarius? In crime, in life, in love? Mars is heating up your House of Partnerships, but moonwalking Mercury is right alongside him, muddying the waters and forcing you to re-think a few associations. Your time is more precious now than ever and you've got so many big ideas that you want to materialize — the last thing you want to do is restrict yourself. Who could help you realize your dreams? Jupiter is blessing your out-there ideas while serious Saturn is lending you some stoic foresight. The combination is lethal to your limits.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 — Jan. 19
It's time to re-think your routine, Capricorn — even if you've committed it to ink — and rearrange it until it inspires you. Mars is powering through your House of Work, giving you the might to plow through to-do lists, start exercise programs and generally improve the way you care for yourself and the business of daily life. But with Mercury moonwalking past him, your stars say that a little re-figuring could yield some big rewards. You could find that you have more time, money and fun on your hands when you reshuffle a few things. Got white-out?
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 — Feb. 18
It's time to express yourself, Aquarius. You've been making a lot of major changes over the last year, and the dust hasn't quite settled, but you've certainly learned a lot along the way and your stars say that you may feel compelled to share it with others this week. Gung-ho Mars is blasting through your House of Creative Expression, indicating that an artistic hobby could be your key to catharsis. But simultaneously, Mercury is retrograding right by his side, indicating some of your inspirations could use a revamp. Break out the red pen and edit your life!
PISCES
Feb. 19 — March 20
Somebody flipped a switch on you, huh, Pisces? Life is looking very different now, even from a few weeks ago, and you've got a little more adjusting to do before you settle into this new (better!) routine. Your intuition is very keen right now, so trust your gut when it come to making decisions, especially regarding your nest and family — motivated Mars is lighting up your House of Home, along with mental Mercury, who is neurotically unloading emotional packing boxes for you to examine. Take care of to-do lists and stay on top of your chores — even the dull work pays off big-time.
