Virgo: Opportunities come more easily when you do the inner work, and Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to check in with yourself on where you're at mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Are you doing what makes you feel joy? Are you on the path you WANT to be on? Ask yourself the tough questions and get reacquainted with your mind and spirit.
Libra: If you've been wondering why exactly you feel as though you're walking on eggshells, you'll get your answer during Mercury Retrograde. Instead of reacting to the truth, take a step back and look inward. Why is this triggering you? Know when it's time to walk away.
Scorpio: Communication with others hasn't been its best lately, and you're quite frustrated by this. You crave connection and you need answers. In order to get the connection you desire, you're going to have to make the first move and initiate meaningful action & conversations.
Sagittarius: Miscommunication with people is a regular occurrence for you during this phase of Mercury Retrograde. It seems like others are indulging in self-sabotage in the form of manipulation, anxiety, and even temper tantrums directed at you. Do your best not to react. Instead, step away and ask to communicate in person or over the phone rather than text.
Capricorn: Staying busy does really well for you, especially in your career or any projects you're involved in. However, you must be careful not to put yourself in a position of long-term burnout. Take this time to rest up as much as you possibly can - you'll need all the energy you can get by the time your birthday comes!
Aquarius: You're on the right path to gaining another employment opportunity or locking in key clients or resources that will take you to the next level. Progress may be slow and methodical, but it'll be worth the wait.
Pisces: There are energies in your body that seem to be out of balance, and finding balance is your key to feeling energized and "normal" again. Be it hormones or chakra blockages, pinpoint the issue at hand so you can find harmony during this Mercury Retrograde phase.
Aries: This phase of Mercury Retrograde serves as transformation and rebirth for you in one or more areas of your life. During this time, you'll re-think, re-do, re-assess, re-view, etc. Take your time with this. You're not in a rush.
Taurus: While Mercury Retrograde isn't the best time to BEGIN new projects or sign contracts, kickstarting or revisiting a health or fitness routine is always encouraged during this slower time. Maybe you've been thinking of taking medication for mental health again, starting a new fitness routine, or looking at a lifestyle diet that made you feel healthier; whatever it is, it's worth exploring if it makes you feel your best, and now's the perfect time to get started.
Gemini: You're unlocking new beginnings and opportunities to carry out your greatest potential. The process will take time, but you should never rush during Mercury Retrograde anyway so this timing is perfect.
Cancer: You'll start a venture or pick up a hobby which you'd previously never considered getting into before, and this opens the door to endless success and creative energy. This new path feeds your soul and makes you excited about life again. You may even consider doing this full time eventually. Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to explore this.
Leo: Now is the perfect time to dream - but don't "do." Dream as big and as much as possible when it comes to your goals and what you want out of life. Allow yourself to change those goals however frequently you want. Because you won't be moving forward right now, these dreams can shift and change however they need to while you pause the momentum. Feel free to move forward with your vision as-is by the time Mercury goes direct.
