All Signs
At the beginning of this week five planets are retrograde: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. But on Friday, both Mercury and Venus stop being retrograde. A shift in time. The promise of less mishaps. There will be less fixation on the past. Pearl S. Buck said, "One faces the future with one's past." That is true. And then there's the existential view by Albert Einstein: "The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." (Whoa!) Steve Jobs said, "For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something." I suspect truly being in the present is the answer. Without checking your phone.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're concerned about finances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues. But this week, you will make a decision about how you want to handle things. How do you want to make an improvement? Delays about finances will diminish and in fact, in the month ahead, money will come more easily to you. Yay! You'll feel more freedom to act on an urge to grab a vacation, enjoy sports, be competitive in fun physical activities with friends, and simply live your life fully. You sense that you're on a new path - and you're right. You might not see the future, but you can have goals. Furthermore, you can have values that affect today, which in turn, creates tomorrow. (Doesn't that sound pithy?)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It's been a bit of a drag with Mercury retrograde directly opposite your sign. In some ways, running into ex-partners and people from your past has been illuminating. But enough illumination is enough, isn't it? You're busy enough starting to downsize and get rid of stuff from cupboards, closets, garages and storage spaces. (This will keep going on for the next year.) In part, this has been one of the reasons there is all this increased chaos and activity at home. You need to streamline and downsize! This is all part of your master plan to improve your home or find a better one. Remember that you need more sleep this week. This is a fact you cannot ignore.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Mercury is your ruler; plus, Mercury retrograde has been taking place in your House of Employment. That's why the fact that Mercury retrograde is over starting on Friday is such good news for you! Say goodbye to goofy errors, delays, cancellations and mixed-up communications at work. (At worst, these frustrations will return to "normal".) The result will be that you will feel you're getting a handle on things again, and that you're in charge of what you're trying to do. Fortunately, your communication style is strong and will continue that way, which is why you will say what you mean and mean what you say. And people will jump when you ask them to!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This Mercury retrograde has attracted old flames back in your life or your dreams or your thoughts, which is always interesting. It can trigger a lot of "What if's". Fortunately, this week will be like a wake-up call for you and bring you back into the present to deal with whatever is on your plate. (Considering that many of you are great cooks, your plate is probably tasty.) Take time to smell the roses. Consider what Steve Jobs said in All Signs above. Life is short - and fat. Right now, the planets travelling through your chart are urging you to seize the moment and have fun times with kids, romantic partners and friends as well as to enjoy entertaining. Just do it. Carpe diem!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
There is so much in your favour, it's important you appreciate your life. Fiery Mars is in your sign, boosting your energy and drive. It will stay there until almost the end of November. Lucky Jupiter is also in your sign, which happens once every 12 years, and it will be in your sign for the next year, making life fortunate for you in personal terms! Jupiter will also boost your self-confidence and poise - and attract people to you. Mercury has been retrograde creating more work at home; plus, challenges dealing with family, and this ends this week! A relief. By the end of the week, you will grab the reins again and do what you want to do! Venus will attract money and help you buy beautiful things. You wanted more?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Like Gemini, Mercury is your ruler and it's never easy when Mercury is retrograde. Inconveniences have been doubly so for you because Mercury has been retrograding in a challenging part of your chart creating transportation delays and repairs, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and so much confusion you might secretly wonder if you're losing it? You aren't. At the end of this week, when Mercury retrograde is over, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Money delays might diminish, so not only will you be happier, you'll have bucks in your jeans. "And there was a peace on the land. And it was good." Short trips and interesting conversations will bring excitement to your days.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You'll be grateful this week because Mercury retrograde has been taking place in your Money House -- delaying money and assets accruing to you. For example, cheques in the mail might be late. Other financial situations are also "on hold", which has really tied your hands and been frustrating. By the end of this week, all that is history. Furthermore, your ruler Venus is no longer retrograde in your sign; and it too, will move forward increasing your desire to socialize and schmooze with everyone. "I'm back!" Competitive sports, physical activities with friends such as athletics continue to appeal. Shop for wardrobe goodies!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Good news! Mercury retrograde has been in your sign, and this stops on Friday. Glory hallelujah! That feeling that you're caught in a tape loop, or having trouble moving forward, or discouraged about making plans, or frustrated by misplaced items, silly errors and delays that create further problems -- all of this will reduce by the end of this week. Ironically, you'll go from "fumbling slow" to "speedy efficient" because the Sun is still in your sign helping you, and fiery Mars is at the top of your chart igniting your ambition. You'll notice a difference. In a minor way, you'll feel like you have a new lease on life. Bravo!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Optimism and physical activity are survival issues for you. Right now, the Sun is hiding in your chart, restricting you from flying your colours. Mercury retrograde has helped you research matters but it has also created moments of self-doubt replaying past memories. On Friday, both Mercury and Venus stop being retrograde, which will lift you out of the doldrums, and allow you to more freely socialize with everyone. You'll feel more empowered to steer your life in the direction you want to go. Lucky Jupiter is approaching the top of your chart - a signal that your success will soon be obvious to others. Expect a miracle!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This has been a more popular time for you. Indeed, Mercury retrograde has probably attracted faces, friends and interactions with groups from your past back in your world. With Venus being retrograde at the top of your chart, many of you have been rethinking your career and giving thought to your professional image. Certainly, you want to solidify your home base and to do so, you want to be sure of what you can count on in terms of your career and support from other sources. Any doubt in these areas will be greatly reduced by the end of the week. This is why you'll feel more confident in the weeks to come. Reassurance is comforting.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Life has been challenging because fiery Mars opposite your sign will create difficulties with partners, spouses and those who are close to you. Furthermore, Mercury has been retrograding at the top of your chart, creating difficulties dealing with bosses, parents and authority figures. Naturally, you have taken this in your stride, but you have been symbolically shackled as it were, with regard to publishing, medicine, the law and higher education, as well as travel plans. The whole kit and caboodle! By the end of this week, the vibes will dramatically change. Admittedly, Mars will still be opposite your sign demanding that you be patient with partners. But you can do this.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You've been working unusually hard lately and it's been exhausting. Fortunately, you've been productive, which is why many of you will quite easily get a better job or improve your existing job. But when it comes to issues related to higher education, medicine, the law and publishing - delays and errors have been discouraging. Even travel has been fatiguing. This means it's good news for you that by Friday, both Mercury and Venus stop being retrograde and release much-needed energy for you - including finances from other sources. Yes, expect a gift from the gods! (Or somebody.)
