All Signs

We've been feeling the effects of Mercury retrograde because it's been slowing down. (Clarification: This is relative to planet Earth. In reality, Mercury doesn't slow down). However, what we have experienced so far has been the shadow phase. On Monday, Mercury "officially" stations direct i.e. it stops going forward until July 23. Because this Mercury retrograde is in the sign of Cancer, many of its manifestations (delays, confused communications, misplaced items, and people from the past turning up) will be re-related to home and family. With this in mind, it might be wise to tidy things up. Stock the fridge. Get ready for unexpected visitors and relatives. Meanwhile, this week Jupiter enters Leo the first time in 12 years bringing everyone good luck in new ways! Read on. Never let good news wait.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Mercury retrograde, which begins on Monday, will put you back in touch with family members. Stock the fridge because people might be couch surfing. Mercury retrograde will also help you tackle home repairs as well as sensitive family discussions you might have been avoiding. The exciting news is that lucky Jupiter moves into your fellow Fire sign Leo this week promising you 12 months of fun diversions! Plan for a vacation. Your relations with children will improve; and you will have reason to be proud of them in the next year. Romance will be promising! Singles might meet someone from a radically different background or another country. You'll feel happier and will enjoy a busier social life!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

More than other signs, you will feel this particular Mercury retrograde, especially with challenges and frustrations with transportation. Car and truck breakdowns. Missed buses. All kinds of delays and minor accidents related to ground transportation are likely. In addition, communications with others will be confused and subject to misunderstandings. You might miss an appointment because you're waiting at the wrong place or you have the wrong date. Fortunately, the good news is that this week, lucky Jupiter moves into the part of your chart dealing with home and family. For the next 12 months, you can improve your home- or move to a better one. Family members will be more generous and kinder to each other. Even real-estate speculation will pay off. Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This particular Mercury retrograde takes place in your Money House. Cheques in the mail will be late. Money expectations will be delayed. Confusion related to earnings, purchases, quotations, and financial negotiations are likely, which means be smart and double check everything. Be careful because if you snooze, you lose. However, lucky Jupiter moves into your House of Communications this week to stay for a year increasing your contacts on a daily basis. You'll feel more optimistic! You'll be eager to learn new things, take courses, advanced training or explore fields of study. You might write more than usual. Relations with siblings will improve.

Mercury retrograde is taking place in your sign. Don't worry you're not losing it, which is easy to think because of the mixed-up communications, silly errors, misplaced items, broken equipment - the list goes on. The interesting thing though is that you will hear from old friends, ex-partners and significant people from your past. (This can be good news - or not.) You might encounter these people in person, online or in your dreams. Meanwhile the news that is really exciting is this week lucky Jupiter enters your House of Money to stay for 12 months boosting your chances to get richer! (Would I kid you?) You might get a raise. You might get a better paying job. You might inherit. Somehow your wealth will increase.

You might travel. You will certainly have opportunities to gain new experiences. Yes!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Each Mercury retrograde is similar in that they can create problems. Nevertheless, each Mercury retrograde is also different because it takes place in a different sign. This particular Mercury retrograde will attract old friends or members of groups from your past back into your world -- in person, online, or in your thoughts and dreams.

You might also rethink your life direction and what you want to accomplish in the future. (Especially because we never know how long our future is?)

Some of you might change your field of work to medicine, healing, the law, higher education or travel.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Stay on your toes for the next month because Mercury retrograde might create errors and mistakes for you in banking issues or anything to do with shared property, wills, estates, inheritances, credit cards, fraud and anything you own jointly with someone else. Check your bank statement and your credit cards. Check your receipts from restaurants and stores. Make sure you were billed correctly.

Friends will have a consciousness expanding influence on you. Sweet!
