All Signs
June is Mercury retrograde. (It's over on the 19th; however, Mercury does not recover its lost ground until July 4.) Some dread Mercury retrograde. (In the last one I had two flat tires, costly car expenses plus missed appointments.) But these are minor things, albeit frustrating. Mercury retrograde doesn't bring tragedy or great suffering. So relax. Expect delays, mistakes and errors in ordinary activities; plus opportunities to finish things and run into ex-partners and old flames. (Whoopee! Remember those faces you never wanted to see again?) You might also find yourself back in old scenarios you thought were history. Ah yes, happiness is being able to enjoy the scenery on a detour - because the car is still running.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Each Mercury retrograde is different because it takes place in a different sign and therefore a different place in your chart. This particular Mercury retrograde hits you pretty hard because it causes delays and confusion to communication and transportation in the part of your chart that rules communication and transportation! Capice? It's a double whammy! Therefore, pay your phone bill. Pay your power bill. Charge your cell phone. Stay on top of potential car and truck problems. Allow extra time for travel and daily errands. Double check appointment times and places etc. May the Force be with you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
In a way, this Mercury retrograde hits you where you live. You're the financial wizard of the zodiac. You're a collector. You appreciate beautiful things -- antiques, and gorgeous treasures made of wood, silver, pewter, and bronze. You like your possessions. This particular Mercury retrograde occurs in the area of your chart that's all about possessions, money, cash flow and your earnings. (Gulp.) There could be delays to your earnings. You might lose or misplace money (hopefully, temporarily.) But previous opportunities to earn money might resurface again! Quite likely, you'll misplace possessions. ('I'm starving because I lost the darned fridge again.')
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You really feel this Mercury retrograde because Mercury is your ruler so you always feel the Mercury retrograde more than other signs; and secondly, this particular Mercury retrograde is in Gemini. Yikes! Run for cover! Expect to misplace items about three times a day (keys, papers, books, and tools "Where's my square?") Missed appointments and delays plus confused communications will dog your steps. And you'll definitely run into ex-partners and old friends. Sometimes this is enjoyable; sometimes it's painful. Look sharp at all times because you never know when it's going to happen and as we all know, living well is the best revenge. ("I'm so good. Look what you're missing.")
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This particular Mercury retrograde is a bit subtle and weird for your sign because it's occurring in a hidden and perplexing part of your chart. As a result, you might feel vaguely lost or out of sorts. You have that I-don't-know-if-I'm-coming-or-going feeling. ("What's she talking about? I always feel like that.") Don't dwell on this feeling of uneasiness. It will pass, especially if you drink a lot of water. Old memories and even old fears will definitely bubble to the surface of your mind. The good news is this is an excellent time to do research into the past. It's also a good time for self scrutiny and psychoanalysis. ("When did you first notice your fear of doorknobs?") Just ride this one out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Lucky you! You can benefit from this Mercury retrograde. Many of you will discover you have an opportunity to finally achieve or begin to work on old goals and dreams from the past. Something you always wanted to do now begins to take form and appears to be within your grasp. Friends from the past or involvement with groups you used to belong to will be back once again as well in your life. You'll have lots of Dijon vu experiences. (That's where the smell of mustard reminds you of wiener roasts and baseball games as a kid.) Fortunately, you have lots of energy to attack any project right now because fiery Mars is in your sign making you unusually assertive, confident and goal directed. You rock!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is an unusual Mercury retrograde because it takes place at high noon in your chart. For starters, many of you will run into old bosses and authority figures from your past. You might have to deal with past issues with parents or even encounter a parent you haven't seen for a while. ("Luke, I am your father.") All the projects that you want to get off the ground might be delayed; on the other hand (you have different rings) you might have a chance to revive an old idea and run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes. "It's ripened on the vine and jet fresh!" Think about past opportunities or even life direction changes you want to resurrect again. You just might be able to do it!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Anything related to travel, publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and law will definitely suffer from delays and communication glitches plus mucho errors. But the upside is you can revisit past opportunities in these areas and either turn something around to your advantage, or reignite something in some way. If traveling, try to travel someplace you've been to before. Definitely allow extra time for delays. If possible, don't check your luggage; carry it on the plane, if you ever want to see it again. Expect to hear from people from distant places and foreign countries. If you don't want them sleeping on your couch, don't answer the phone.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Like a few other signs, you can benefit from this particular Mercury retrograde because it's a good chance for you to clear up and clean up old issues regarding insurance matters, inheritances, shared property, debt and taxes. Just roll up your sleeves and tackle some of these red tape headaches. You'll be surprised at how much you can get done! You might also discover secrets about your partner's income or the wealth of others. Lots of information will come out of the woodwork. "Elementary, my dear Watson. A quick examination reveals these grass stains on her white capris are from the remote steppes of Themiskyra, where she quite likely attended the opening of a new Starbucks."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This month you are totally absorbed with past problems related to ex-partners and close friends (who might not be so close now.) There's lots of a business to clean up. And that's the good part. When Mercury is retrograde, it's easier to go backwards and forwards which means it's easier and faster to clean up old stuff. Therefore, strike while the iron is hot and all that. Define and determine what needs to be mutually agreed upon. Get as much of this out of the way as you can. Prepare yourself to encounter ex-partners -- practically anywhere. You'll feel foolish crouching in the Aisle 7 behind the canned goods. Just stand up and face the music. ("Dwayne! What a surprise seeing you here!")
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You will have to white knuckle it through this month because this particular Mercury retrograde attacks your work scene and your job. Lost and confused paperwork, misunderstandings with coworkers and superiors, silly, goofy mistakes, broken equipment, missed or late appointments are just some of the things that will be quite maddening. You'll end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) You hate this because you don't like your mistakes to be made in public. You have a horror of losing face especially with bosses and VIPs. That's because you're a perfectionist and you really care about your reputation. Sigh. The good news is you can wrap up old business at work. All is not lost.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Old flames are definitely back in your life this month. Sometimes this is exciting, thrilling and even flattering -- especially if you haven't gained weight or you still have your hair. ("Eat your heart out. I'm beautiful and I'm not even smug about it.") Past issues with the care, education or maintenance of children will also arise. Stories, rivalries and past events related to sports are back in your lap. You might even run into people you met once on vacation. ("Oh no -- it's Ned Ryerson!") These frustrations are just embarrassing or aggravating little delays and silly mistakes. Grin and bear it. Or if you must - just bare it. ("Was that a Moon?")
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're involved with relatives and past family issues. Domestic repairs need your attention. Things you've been ignoring can no longer be ignored. ("The front door is stuck and I can't get in. I've been sleeping in my car for three weeks.") Relatives and family might be camped on your sofa. Stock the fridge. Tidy the place because these people will drop by - uninvited. And they have laundry. And pets. And they're all on a weird macrobiotic diet and refuse to eat what you eat but they expect you to cook for them. Don't you love it? Family discussions can wrap up old issues and provide closure. "Please leave now." "But we want to stay!" "Sorry, I'm leave tonight for Mongolia."
