All Signs
Each Mercury retrograde is in a different sign, so it affects us differently. Some people glide through one, while others are white knuckling it all the way. (This is a vicious one for me.) Mercury will be retrograde until Sept. 15; so, if you're buying cars, trucks, computers or cell phones, be smart and wait until the shadow is over on Oct. 1. (I'm waiting until then to buy a laptop.) Meanwhile, the Sun is now in Virgo, which means we all want to pull our act together, get organized, eat healthier, drink less booze and exercise. (At least, jog for 10 seconds in front of the fridge.) Ah yes, amateurs only gain weight in the holidays. Professionals gain weight the entire year.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You have that back-to-school feeling that you have to buckle down, get to work and get organized. "I'm on it!" As I mentioned in All Signs above, you will also be eager to improve your health. When it comes to improving ourselves, it's generally easier to stop a bad habit then to begin a new healthy one. But maybe you can do both? Venus promises social diversions and fun times, especially with romantic dates or playful activities with kids. However, while Mars is opposite your sign, it's easy to get annoyed with others, which means patience will be your best friend. Continue to look for ways to boost your income because you can do this!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The next several weeks will be easier for you because the Sun will be in your fellow Earth sign, which is a supporting energy. Whatever you do will flow nicely. You will also be more motivated to do something. Having said that, this same window of time is all about play, fun diversions, exploring the arts, the entertainment world and taking a vacation. In other words, work comes second. Keep an eye out for old flames who will be back in the picture. (Something to keep you on your toes?) Basically, your "work hard, party hard" theme continues for the next few weeks. You will also redecorate at home and enjoy entertaining so that you can show off your ingenious efforts.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The next few weeks are about home, family and your private life. Many will be involved with a parent. You might have relatives you haven't seen for a while camped on your doorstep. (Hand them a paintbrush or broom.) Your communication skills are excellent now and will continue for several weeks because fair Venus is in your House of Communications, which will sweeten and soften your words. You'll be the epitome of tact and diplomacy! Actually, it will be easy because another influence of Venus will make you realize how much affection and beauty there is in your daily world. What a blessing! Meanwhile, competitive sports and fun outings still appeal.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For the next few weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate because you suddenly have short trips to take, appointments, errands to run, plus, people to see as you spend more time with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Your dance card is full! Mercury retrograde will continue to stir up goofy mistakes, transportation delays and mixed-up communications and conversations with others. But you can handle this. Many of you will also encounter past acquaintances, which will be interesting because it's fun to trade lies and talk about the good old days. Meanwhile, you continue to deal with some kind of chaos or increased activity at home. Cope as best you can.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Money, money, money is on your mind. (Many of you blew a wad during "Celebrate Leo!" season.) Plus, cheques were late in the mail, problems with credit cards, plus delayed business deals due to Mercury retrograde. Oy! Naturally, with Venus in your sign, you will handle all this with grace. In fact, Venus will make it easy to make peace with others and enjoy good times with friends. (Note this is also a great time for a vacation and to shop for wardrobe goodies.) Meanwhile, Mars is in your House of Communications boosting your mental energy, stimulating the tempo of your everyday life, and making you identify strongly with your ideas and opinions. Look out world!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The Sun is now in your sign until Sept. 23. This means it's all about you, dear Virgo! Once a year, the Sun is in your sign for four weeks and when that happens, it's your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. You will be more concerned with personal matters. You'll feel a strong need to express yourself. You will more easily attract people and favourable situations to you; and you will make a great impression on everyone! Secret love affairs might be happening, which is not surprising because this year is a stressful time for marriage and partnerships for your sign. Nevertheless, don't risk a solid, long-term relationship for a mere bonbon. Think of your long-range goals.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For the next few weeks, the Sun is hiding in your chart before it enters your sign on Sept. 23. This means that likewise, you will be happy to play things low-key and stay in the background. Nevertheless, with fiery Mars in your sign, by no means, will you be a wallflower! Oh no. Mars in your sign (something that happens only once every two years for six weeks) will make you work hard to further your own interests, and also to assert yourself among others! You'll be much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. Plus, your physical energy will be high. Meanwhile, old friends are back in your world, promising fun get-togethers.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The next several weeks are popular for you! You'll enjoy hanging out with friends, plus being involved more with groups and organizations. Many of you will also be in contact with friends from your past. This will also be a lovely time to think about your long-range goals. It so happens that you make an excellent impression on bosses, parents, teachers and the police right now. If you ask for advice or assistance, it will be forthcoming. In fact, bosses might admire you to the point that a flirtation might take place? Meanwhile, keep in mind that this year is a wonderful time for partnerships and marriage. Singles should be open to meeting new people.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Ta da! This is the only time all year when the Sun sits at the top of your chart for four weeks, casting you in a flattering spotlight. Garbo was right, "Good lighting is everything." You look super competent to authority figures even if you don't do anything special, which means this is the perfect opportunity for you to demand the advantage, ask for a raise, seek out a promotion - whatever. (It doesn't hurt to ask.) Meanwhile, opportunities to travel for pleasure still exist - something dear to your heart. Plus, competitive sports and physical activities are also in the picture for most of you. Remember: This is the year for you to improve your job or get a better one.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your desire to travel, read, study and learn more will be strong in the next four weeks because you feel the need to expand your horizons. Travel is the obvious choice; but if you can't travel, then be a tourist in your own city! You can also put out energy to study and learn more because this will stimulate you. And that's what you want. Stimulation and adventure! Once every two years, Mars is high in your chart, arousing your ambition, and that's happening right now. Meanwhile, it's also easy for you to raise money or get a loan or mortgage. Looks good! (Privately, romantic passion is affectionate and memorable!)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You have your eye on the resources and wealth of your partner, inheritances, the government, credit cards or an institution that holds your debt. Perfect! This is an excellent time to wrap up old business with these areas because of Mercury retrograde. On the other hand, initiating new business for example will drag slowly or be delayed because of Mercury retrograde. Meanwhile, the opportunity to travel totally appeals because your sense of adventure is strong now. You want to go places and have fun! With Venus opposite your sign, relations with partners and close friends are excellent. Perfect time to enjoy life with a travel buddy! Continue to look for ways to improve home and family.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is the only time all year when the Sun sits opposite your sign for four weeks. Because this means it is as far away from you as it can get all year (in your chart), and the Sun is your source of energy, your energy will be flagging somewhat and you will need more sleep. Go to bed. Aside from that, relations with coworkers couldn't be better! People will be supportive and helpful to you. Admittedly, disputes about shared property or debt might occur now. You might disagree with a partner about how to manage money or spend funds. Fortunately, with Jupiter in your House of Communications this year, it's easy for you to be upbeat and happy! A blessing!
