ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Today Mercury retrograde is over, which will benefit your ability to impress bosses and important people. Now you can go forward with new ideas, because they will be met with less resistance; plus, there will be fewer silly errors and frustrations. Thank goodness! Tonight: Quiet time.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
As of today, you can move forward with more confidence about making future travel plans and exploring avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. These are the areas that have been hit the hardest in the past few weeks by Mercury retrograde. Now it’s all systems go. Tonight: Set goals.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
In the last month, Mercury retrograde created delays and financial glitches, especially in areas regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Good news! As of today, these errors and delays will be reduced greatly. Tonight: Talk to the boss.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
This recent Mercury retrograde has attracted ex-partners and old friends from the past back into your world, which might or might not have been a good thing. In either case, as of today, Mercury retrograde is over, and your world will start to approach normalcy. Tonight: Explore!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
You will be pleased to learn that Mercury is no longer retrograde as of today, because Mercury has been creating goof-ups and silly mistakes in your work. (Wince.) (Cry face.) Obviously, in the normal flow of things, we make mistakes. But with Mercury retrograde, it’s insane! Tonight: Check banking.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
For the past month, Mercury has been retrograde and, of course, Mercury is your ruler. (Mercury rules communications, which is why you’re such a smart, clever communicator. You even mimic others.) This has brought old flames back into your world (or your dreams). As of today, life returns to normal. Tonight: Warm conversations.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
With Mercury being retrograde for the past month, many of you have relatives and family camped on your doorstep. This also prompted trips down memory lane and reminiscences of the past. This focus on the past will stop today. It’s time to focus on the present! Tonight: Get organized.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★
You have been plagued for the past month with transportation problems, delays and difficulties related to siblings and relatives. Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen. (Mercury retrograde has this power to stir up our lives.) As of today, Mercury retrograde is over. Rejoice! Tonight: Socialize!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
It’s been a drag for your sign because, for the past month, Mercury retrograde has triggered confusion in financial matters. Checks in the mail have been late. Mistakes and mixed-up communications about finances and money have been challenging. As of today, this is over. Tonight: Home and family.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
In early January, Mercury began to slow down in the sign of Aquarius, where it went retrograde. It slipped so far backward that it slipped into your sign over a week ago — bringing ex-partners and old friends from the past, as well as old issues. This also brought you opportunities for closure. As of today, it’s “forward ho!” Tonight: Follow your curiosity.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
For about a month, you have felt the effects of Mercury retrograde creating errors, delays and silly goof-ups. (They weren’t major, but they were definitely a bummer.) This negative influence is now gone. As of today, you can look forward to the future with increased confidence. Yes! Tonight: Organize your possessions.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
In the past month, old friends have been coming out of the woodwork. In addition to which, misplaced paperwork, forgotten items and glitches in travel and communications have been a challenge. As of today, this will be reduced greatly. Glory hallelujah! Tonight: You win!
