We probably won’t get as much accomplished as we wish because mental Mercury in hopeful Sagittarius stops in its tracks today to begin its three-week retrograde period. Although we might encounter delays and miscommunications, an imbalanced alignment between the Sun and overconfident Jupiter encourages unrealistic expectations. The extroverted Leo Moon forms several supportive aspects, temporarily distracting us from Mercury’s retrograde.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your current interest in metaphysics deepens now, possibly taking on many different forms, including studying religion or practicing meditation. This is also a great time to delve into the subconscious mind through dream work or therapy. Although your approach may be through direct action, it could be helpful to give yourself time to assimilate your experiences. Nothing is gained by trying to rush the spiritual lessons you’re learning.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
A problem may arise from a misunderstanding with a close friend or intimate partner today. Instead of just brushing it aside, it’s wise to investigate the source of the disagreement and initiate a frank discussion about it now while the situation is still fresh. Thankfully, once you see where you went wrong it should be easier to clear the air and move on.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Every person represents another opportunity to be distracted from what you really need to be doing today. But it may make more sense to stop running around and avoiding your commitments. You won’t accomplish much unless you make a conscious decision to settle down. Concentrate on your most immediate tasks or you’ll have to go back and redo what you should have done the first time around. Paying closer attention to details now prevents delays later on.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It can be quite enjoyable when fantasies overtake reality today as long as you know when to call it quits. The key is to enjoy your mental meanderings without taking them too seriously. Don’t act on your feelings now; you could run into trouble if you treat a dream as if it is real. There’s nothing wrong with entertaining yourself in your imagination if you don’t let it take over your life.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You want to get things out into the open, but you may be fighting an uphill battle as a family member or someone close to you seems to be holding back something. The feeling of not knowing what’s actually happening is confusing, but you might not want others to know you’re disoriented. A vicious cycle of non-disclosure can only be broken when you boldly decide to openly share what’s on your mind.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You need to be extra careful now as you plan your schedule because you can’t afford to get behind. Nevertheless, your best intentions can fall short of your expectations due to an uncharacteristic inattention to the details today. Compensate for your current absentmindedness by writing everything down so you don’t forget what you need to remember. Once you have the logistics of the day under control, you’ll have more time to relax and enjoy yourself.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You might not be able to prevent your mind from wandering all over the map now, even if you try really hard to concentrate. You may be distracted by adventurous dreams or social interests. However, it’s not worth making yourself frazzled by biting off more than you can chew. Don’t worry so much about what you accomplish today. Give yourself a gift and explore an enjoyable diversion instead.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You want to do what’s right today, but others may be trying to change your mind. It’s great to be able to jump in and help someone with your skills, but not if you must sacrifice your core beliefs in the process. Be clear about your boundaries without issuing an ultimatum. Initiating an honest discussion could lead to an agreeable compromise for all involved.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign today, creating the illusion of suspended time. However, your overconfidence may lead you to believe that you can accomplish nearly anything now. Unfortunately, you’re likely to underestimate the complexity of a job and then might be disillusioned when you don’t reach your goals. Be gentle with yourself and don’t be overly concerned if everything takes longer than you think it should.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are a study in contradictions today as your thoughts soar into the highest spiritual realms of your imagination. However, you are simultaneously pulled into the shadows where you aren’t nearly as confident. Paradoxically, you can be in both places at once, so there’s no need to choose one path or the other. If you do, your reverie might come to an end and you’ll be plunged back into the mundane world. Meanwhile, entertain all possibilities without becoming too attached to any one of them.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Friends or coworkers can make trouble for you now, especially if you are impatient with them. You don’t want to interact with those who might get in the way of your productivity, but avoidance may not be possible, either. Others are merely reflecting your own subconscious tendencies, so let go of your goals for a while and enjoy the ride. Surprisingly, relinquishing control today could help you accomplish more in the long run.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20
Instead of pushing forward on your career path today, it may be smarter to take a breather while you integrate recent experiences. Allowing yourself time to regroup and consolidate your resources during the weeks ahead is your best use of this Mercury retrograde phase. You will ultimately make more progress if you have the good sense to relax now while you can.
