Every week at 5:40 p.m. PST on 106.5 The End, I share new weekly horoscopes with you. This week is a bit unique for everyone, seeing as Mercury Retrograde started on Saturday, January 30. This is a phenomenon that occurs about 3-4 times per year, lasting about three weeks each time. The planet Mercury appears to move backward, slowing down communication in various forms. A lot of people think it sounds scary, but it doesn't have to be! This can be a really relaxing time for a lot of people.
Below are your horoscopes for this week, with a Mercury Retrograde focus.
Aquarius: Prioritizing is a struggle for you this week. When someone in the workplace comes to you with a task that can wait until next week, be VERY clear with them that it will need to wait until other, urgent matters have been dealt with first. As long as you set that boundary, they really have no choice but to understand and cut you some slack. Your week is a 6.
Pisces: You may be dragged into a conversation that you know could potentially damage your reputation. You'll be asked to provide your own opinion on the matter, but beware - if it's a topic like politics, then you definitely want to decline no matter how you really feel about the topic. It's better to keep these matters private in your life. Your week is a 4.
Aries: Mercury Retrograde will slow down your plans for fast momentum in romance. However, this is an ideal time to read self-help or relationship books to work on yourself and refine what it is you're looking for in your love life. Your week is an 8.
Taurus: Your health is the focus this week. While you typically should avoid STARTING anything during Mercury Retrograde, a new fitness routine is an exception here. Whether you're just starting, adding to your goal, or doing a whole resolution redo, focus on self discipline surrounding your activity level. Your week is a 10.
Gemini: You're faced with a major decision in your love life whether or not to take things to the next level...or drop your lover altogether. I don't recommend making any hasty decisions during Mercury Retrograde. If you can help it, try to work things out. But if you know that you absolutely should not be together any longer, then by all means have the talk. Be very clear with your intentions moving forward to avoid confusion. Your week is a 6.
Cancer: You're on the verge of manifesting more money into your life, and you'll even have a very important conversation about that this week. Make sure you get everything in writing - Mercury Retrograde has a way of inserting fine print into the narrative that you weren't expecting...so just make sure that you understand EVERYTHING very clearly to avoid surprises. Your week is a 9.
Leo: You'll uncover some sneaky information you've been looking for, which will be very helpful when it comes time to address the issue at hand in your workplace. Keep receipts and make sure you stack a valid case for yourself before you bring this information to light. I suggest you wait until after Mercury Retrograde is over, sometime after February 21. Your week is an 8.
Virgo: You'll hit an unexpected snag this week in the workplace. Don't let this get you down. Perhaps you need more information or preparation before getting this opportunity, or it's simply not the right time. I suggest keeping your head up and not allowing this to drag your spirits, because people will definitely notice a negative attitude change. Your week is a 7.
Libra: Someone new with soulmate potential will enter your life this week. This is the case whether you're single or already attached, because this person could appear not just in romance...but in work or friendship. This is a connection worth adding to your inner circle because it truly has long-term potential. Your week is a 10.
Scorpio: You will far from adequate when it comes to getting your work or errands done this week. Your daily to-do list feels like a blur, not to mention spending time aimlessly scrolling through social media isn't helping either. Practice self discipline this week in putting down the phone to either relax and regroup, or to complete some of your tasks you've been putting off. This will help you regain some peace of mind. Your week is a 7.
Sagittarius: Your mind is racing a million miles per minute this week with all sorts of new ideas to better your future, make more money, and/or gain additional independence. While it's definitely okay to dream, don't make any impulsive decisions in jumping on these ideas right away. Take time to think things through so that you know you're absolutely making the right decision when the time comes. Your week is a 9.
Capricorn: Memories of a past romance will haunt your mind all week long, tempting you to reach out to your former lover. This is a really common occurrence during Mercury Retrograde, and it's rare that these reconnections last. Take some time to consider how the other person will react if you reach out. Is this really what you think they want? Is this really what YOU want? And what are your true intentions here? Your week is an 8.
And those are your weekly horoscopes, Mercury Retrograde edition! Tune in to 106.5 The End again next Monday at 5:40 p.m. PST to hear more weekly horoscopes with me.
