Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Do you feel comfortable expressing your innermost feelings? Maybe it’s while channeling via a creative pursuit, or with a romantic interest. Whatever the case may be, this retrograde cycle is urging you to tap into your intuition, and cultivate your emotions. This is especially true for those of you who compartmentalize the two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There’s no such thing as perfect, and though you’re often celebrated for your family-oriented energy, you’re also guilty of unconsciously disregarding a loved one’s feelings. Something about your communication style in the home front needs to be reflected upon.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your energy is sacred, and this Mercury retrograde is urging you to be discerning with your investments, especially those of you depleting yourselves via hours of social media... or worse, people-pleasing for the sake of someone’s validation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re having a lightbulb moment, and it’s all happening the way it’s supposed to. Maybe it’s with regards to an entrepreneurial venture that requires a business loan, or a personal accomplishment you’re really proud of. Otherwise, many of you are finally finding the right words to say with regards to your heart’s desires.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Take a load off, Libra. This Mercury retrograde cycle is urging you to take a well-deserved hiatus, and reflect on your coping mechanisms in the process. Have you been getting enough rest, or are you overexerting your energy? The way you communicate and meet others halfway will also be highlighted at this time. Don’t be afraid to speak up.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ve never been the talkative type, at least not when it pertains to your privacy and personal life, but this Mercury retrograde journey is reminding you to be discerning with your secrets, and life behind the scenes. Maybe it’s via social media or a co-working space, but you’re being called to reflect on your exchanges. Themes of injustice are also likely, but the truth shall set you free.

You’re inspired, motivated and in contact with the right group of people. Although, amidst brainstorming on your next career venture, this Mercury retrograde is urging you to review and reassess the fine print of your current contracts. Otherwise, being clear with your direction and logistics is also essential. Do your research.

Don’t jump to conclusions until you’ve done your due diligence. Themes surrounding your intimate unions, unique philosophy and longterm plans are bound to come up for review during this retrograde, especially those of you committed to partners and/or contracts that no longer resonate with the bigger picture.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Everyone has a different love language, and your rose-colored glasses are part of your elusive charm. Despite whether it pertains to business or pleasure, this Mercury retrograde is highlighting the dynamic of your one-on-one connections, especially those lacking an equal amount of give and take. It takes two to tango, and balance is key.
