Written in the Stars - Week of September 18


Mercury Retrograde — When the planet of thought, communication and technology appears to move backward, we experience delays, hiccups and mix-ups. Double-check your work, never hit reply-all and hold off on major commitments. It's a good time to review, re-evaluate and remind yourself of where you want to go. 


ARIES

Take a second look at your closest partners, Aries. Are they befitting of your current lifestyle? It's very likely that you have some questions or issues around this sector of your life now, with Mercury spinning backward through your House of Partnerships. It's all about equality: Are you giving enough? Receiving enough? It's an ideal time to take small, measured steps toward balancing things out, fixing small issues and maintaining your boundaries. Focus on nipping issues in the bud before they grow.



TAURUS


Prepare to forget the meaning of the word "routine," Taurus, because yours is about to become anything but. Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, is moonwalking through your House of Work and Routine, causing some re-shuffling and renewal that calls for some re-adjustment on your part. This three-week period is actually an ideal time to figure out what it is you really want from your daily experiences. Has moderate become mundane? Be willing to make small changes; the results will be telling.



GEMINI

Although it's always smart to play it safe during Mercury retrograde, Gemini, it's even more essential that for the next three weeks, you just play. Your ruler is moonwalking through your House of Creativity, Romance and Play, indicating that you need this little stellar hiatus in order to play with ideas, people and potentials. Certain projects may suffer delays or setbacks, but this period is actually helpful for spotting small hiccups now, before they become roadblocks. Look at your life like a puzzle — enjoy figuring it out.



CANCER

What do you really want, Cancer? It's time to take a look at the road map that is your life and decide if you are still on course to where you'd like to be. You may decide, as Mercury spins backward through Your House of Home and Foundations, that some small yet fundamental changes can lead to greater stability for you, both internally and externally. What are your values? Are you meeting them yourself, and are your loved ones living up to them? Reevaluate your current path — analyze to stabilize.



LEO

Where do you fit into your social circle, Leo? What about everyone else? With Mercury going retrograde in your House of Communication, you can expect to deal with some sudden issues that demand re-evaluation and re-adjustment. Friends from the past may come calling, and you may have to stand your ground and deal with a few confrontations. Any little mix-ups and hiccups you deal with now are actually an opportunity to nip issues in the bud so you can move forward. Beware of mixed messages, sent or received.



VIRGO

You've got plans when it comes to your money, Virgo, but with Mercury moonwalking through your House of Money for the next three weeks, it's a better time to adjust them than enact them. Take this time to deal with small financial issues or questions as they arise, and you will set yourself up for great success by mid-October. Use your trademark Virgo critical eye to fine-tune your plans, reallocate resources and prepare for the future. Issues that come up now are disguised opportunities to improve your income.



LIBRA

Who are you, Libra? With Mercury moonwalking through your House of Self, you may spend the next three weeks subtly redefining and refining that concept. This aspect indicates that you're getting ready for a bit of a coming-out party, but you need to make some last-minute adjustments before you show off what you've made. It's an ideal time to make changes to your looks or persona, to change your mind if necessary, and to clear your path in order to move forward. Change is good. Embrace it.



SCORPIO

With the planet of thought and communicationg moonwalking through your House of Secrets and the Past, Scorpio, it's time to embrace the magic that happens in darkness. Seeds that you have planted are unfurling quietly in the fertile ground — what have you been growing in secret? You can best use this energy by being open to new opportunities and shocking invitations. It's essential that you trust your intuition and refuse to trod the same old path. Something big is coming — spend this time preparing for it.



SAGITTARIUS


It's time to find a balance, Sagittarius, between your external life and your internal life. With Mercury moving backward through your House of Allies and Associations, you may spend the next three weeks figuring out who your real friends are, and what you need from them. It's an ideal time to mend fences, address little problems as they arise and stabilize the connections that are most important to you. Have you been spending too much time on your own? Or not enough? Seek balance to enjoy both more.



CAPRICORN

Your reputation and status are up for review, Capricorn, with the planet of thought and communication moonwalking through your House of Career and Destiny. Pay attention to details and double check your work — it's all about polish and precision now. If you encounter obstacles or setbacks now, recognize that they are more like road flares to let you know where you must re-set your course and get back on your way. It's an ideal time to re-envision your status and chart the course.



AQUARIUS

You're a global thinker, Aquarius, so you often avoid the tiny, seemingly insignificant details of life in favor of loftier pursuits. But with the planet of thought and communication moonwalking through your House of Journeys and Philosophy, it's time to take care of the mundane little details for the next three weeks, so that you can spend more time with your big ideas afterward. The minute work you do will ironically give you an even broader, more complete vision. Weave your threads into a tapestry.



PISCES

It's time for some deep thinking about all the resources at your disposal, Pisces
— material, creative and human. The planet of thought and communication, Mercury, is checking his rearview in your House of Intimacy and the Other, prompting a reassessment and some possible reallocation when it comes to your investments. Those are, again, material, creative and emotional investments. It may be time to adjust your budget or financial plans for better results. Use your keen eye and intuition.
