Aries (Mar. 20--Apr. 19):
Mercury is retrograding in the territory of significant relationships, contracts, and clientele. These areas may be challenging right now because it is difficult to make decisions or finalize activities. Your partner or clientele may be bouncing off the walls. Have patience with yourself and everyone else. It is temporary. People will be more prepared to move forward after Oct. 11.
Taurus (Apr. 20--May 19):
This Mercury retrograde experience occurs in the territory of health, coworkers, tenants, employees, and pets. You may find it very hard to move forward with your diet and exercise program. It is a particularly good time to organize and sort closets, records, and files. The paperflow may get bogged down. Backup, backup, backup!
Gemini (May 20 -- June 20)
Mercury is turning retrograde in the territory that rules children, creative efforts, and love life. Anything on your radar screen that is related to these territories is subject to turnaround, review, deceleration, rethinking for a few weeks. Maybe you'll want to check out a previous love interest.
Cancer (June 21--July 21):
This time for the Moon Children, the area of Mercury's focus is related to property, family, and issues of security. You are likely reworking things in one of these territories. Family members may be erratic or hard to pin down, making it difficult to conclude open agendas. Have patience.
Leo (July 22 --Aug. 21)
The Mercury retrograde focus is specifically on communications, neighbors, siblings, and others who are in your daily environment. Concentrate as much as possible on clear communications. Double check what you think you heard. You may need to consider the needs of your vehicle now. Give it a checkup. Get a second opinion on expensive diagnoses.
Virgo (Aug. 22--Sep. 22):
The probability is high that you will discover some mathematical error made in the past that must be rectified fairly soon. It may be as simple as finding a bill that was forgotten and left unpaid. Or it could be a little more emotionally complicated and involve a previous misunderstanding with a loved one.
Libra (Sep. 23--Oct. 22):
Mercury is turning retrograde in your sign and will be more likely to affect your daily affairs than many of the other signs. It isn't easy for you to make decisions in the first place, but don't even try to finalize anything while a retrograding Mercury is on your fanny. Use the energy to research information and gather resources for better decisions later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21):
Memories from your life history may surface for examination at this time. Old friends or acquaintances who return for a short time could be the trigger for this life review. It is possible you may have a greater than normal need to reflect, to write, and otherwise give attention to your inner self.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22--Dec. 20):
Mercury has been retrograding in the territory that concerns friends, organizations, and community contacts. You may be having difficulty bringing things to fruition or conclusion in any of these areas. Perhaps you are compelled to put previous plans on hold. Resolution comes in Nov.
Capricorn ( Dec 21 -- Jan 19):
Mercury is altering directions in the house of career and life direction. This is really more of a tweaked change than a life change. However, if you happen to have applied for a job recently, you may find that you are changing your mind about that particular route. Now is the time to research the best possible choices, but don't take action yet.
Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 17):
Mercury is retrograde in the territory which deals with education, publishing, travel, public speaking, the law, and philosophy. Therefore any of these activities are subject to shifts, changes, or sudden deceleration due to lack of decision. Maybe the right solution just is not available yet. Have a sense of humor. You know Mercury is retrograding.
Pisces (Feb. 18--Mar. 19):
Mercury is retrograding in the territory of taxes, debt, investments, and joint resources. You will likely experience a need to go back and review decisions in these areas. Be alert to the higher probability of making errors now. You might also discover and execute corrections of previous mistakes.
