Aries : 21st March – 20th April
We are all subject to the vagaries of Mercury’s retrograde motion – even Aries! You may have to bite the bullet and go through a load of paperwork that you thought you could forget. A good month for getting out and about, maybe checking out the lie of the land for some future projects you may already have in mind. Don’t make any decisions, though until after the 21st June – otherwise you could have to start over. You may design a plan of action and test out your ideas on a family member, who can be trusted. Make sure you write everything down because things can move ahead very rapidly next month and you don’t need to overlook an important point in your zeal to push forward. With Mars in Leo,the Universe is behind you though, so you are right to feel enthusiastic about your future – just wait a little longer before you leap into action.
Taurus: 19th April – 20th May
With Mercury doing a soft shoe shuffle with Venus this month in your 2nd house of values and personal finances, you are well placed to look at what security really means to you and how much are you denying yourself in order to keep it. This is a time for asking those bigger life questions, because substance and value are important to you – not only having them, but being seen to have them. So, June is the golden opportunity to get all your values sorted and decide what you may be prepared to let go of and say goodbye to. Taurus’ lesson in life is to learn to let go of the past and move into the future without asking anyone else’s permission. In other words, to learn value your own needs and desires and not put value on things that are outside of yourself. However, make no firm decisions until after the 21st June.
Gemini: 20th May – 20th June
See above
Cancer: 21st June – 22nd July
This could be a month that feels like a bad hair day. It’s not serious, just irritating. Lost files, messages going astray and computer failure could be on the cards – nothing that can’t be put right – but a hassle just the same. The important thing to realise is that the Universe isn’t out to get you – it’s the same for everyone to a degree – it’s just that it feels like it. You could begin to lose confidence in yourself and wonder if others are following suit. That would be a waste of emotional energy if you did. The important thing to remember is that it’s only 3 weeks – chill out and get your head down to doing some valuable research – it could stand you in good stead for the next few months. You may hear something to your advantage but may have to wait a few weeks before you can use the information to get on the inside track.
Leo: 22nd July – 22nd August
The Sun may shine this month and bring out your best smile for everyone – however – Mercury is spinning for you as well. Your projects may have to be put on hold for a while until the boss decides that she can afford to sponsor your ideas. Even if she decides that you can go ahead, she could still bring you to a halt halfway through. Be prepared and have lots more ideas in the pipeline, so that when you do get the green light you can dazzle everyone with your innate creativity and brilliance. Friendships, too, are being called into question. Just be careful of what you say – try to hold the dramas at bay by being as big hearted as possible. When the fuss dies down you’ll be surprised to find who your real friends are and who you can wave goodbye to.
Virgo: 22nd August – 22nd September
Virgo is Mercury’s other sign, so you too will be undermined by his shenanigans this month. The theatre for this set of events is in your career. It would not be wise to make any decisions about your future for a while until the energy slows down – after the end of the month, really. You could change your mind a dozen times between now and then and raise worrying to an art form. Remember, worry is praying for what youdon’t want to have happen. The Law of Attraction says that if you think hard about something, it will happen, so make sure it’s what you do want. Try to maintain a positive attitude and keep smiling. The more you smile the better you will feel – it releases all those feel-good hormones in your brain. If you insist on bringing work home to finish, just be careful not to burn the midnight oil with it. It won’t do your health or your home life any good at all.
Libra: 22nd September – 23rd October
This slightly irritating backwards motion of Mercury could render you more indecisive that ever. It’s true that decisions are not your favourite thing – it’s always easiest to let others make them for you. If you are trying to plan a holiday to a destination far away, all sorts of small details can trip you up. The travel agent could have a crisis of their own, if you book online they could lose your information and so on. Just be careful that the advice you are given is kosher – you don’t want to get to the airport and find you’ve got the wrong paperwork. This could sound doom laden, but it isn’t really – it’s just the way Mercury likes to stir things up. It’s better to make your choices of destination and then wait until after the 21st June, before you start the ball rolling. Chances are you’ll change your mind anyway.
Scorpio 23rd October – 21st November
Mercury’s little dance is going on in your area of shared resources – joint bank accounts, mortgages, taxes and investments. This means that you need to be careful with all your paperwork and keep it up to date. You could find that you have a different sum in your account than you thought – and that can be either more or even less. Just be wary if it looks as if you have more than you expected, because when Mercury changes direction on the 19th you may find that someone got their figures wrong. This would be a good time to follow some line of research that you have wanted to do for a while – your natural stick-ability and refusal to accept things on face value will serve you very well. If you are planning a new business then get the five-year plan ready to go when the month is out.
Sagittarius 21st November – 21st December
The area of action with Mercury’s quick step is in your house of relationships and partnerships. You may find that people keep dipping in and out of your life this month. Clients make bookings, then they cancel, then they try to rebook and have you running round in a blur to please them. Business partners, too, are likely to be difficult to pin down – changing their minds, being generally unreliable and make you wonder why you bother sometimes. However, trying to put a good spin on it and searching for “meaning” in the events of this month, is really a waste of time. Mercury does what he does for his own reasons – he’s just having fun at your expense and that’s the way he works. However, if you sit at your desk and think about that book you’ve been carrying around in your head for a while, this would be a good time to start plotting it out on paper.
Capricorn 21st December -19th January
This could be a most frustrating month with co-workers and people who work for you. For example, you could find that you have an important meeting to attend and your dry cleaner has lost your best business suit. Not the end of the world, but irritating. It’s the small details that you need to look out for this month – if in doubt, do things yourself and don’t rely on others. I know this takes up more of your precious time, but it’s only for 3 weeks, so not the end of the world. If you are thinking of updating your telecom equipment, wait until the end of the month. If you don’t wait, the company will deliver it when you’re not at home, then not turn up when you take a day off work, specially. It’s just that kind of time and you have to sit it out with gritted teeth. it’s useful to remember that everyone on the planet is getting caught up by Mercury as well as you.
Aquarius 20th January – 19th February
This could be a good time to develop your creative ideas, then hang fire until after Mercury changes direction on the 21st June. Once you get to the end of the month, you will find that the world has ears to listen to what you have to say and will be very impressed. Children and young people may be particularly irritating this month as well. If you are involved in community or charity work there seems to be a general shifting of interest away from the things that you had in mind for them. Don’t worry, as they will all come back fired up and inspired by your energy – and things will come together more quickly than you could have imagined. This is actually a very good period for planning and dreaming about how you want your future to look – it’s just not quite the time to act on any of it just yet.
Pisces 19th February – 20th March
Events around your home life could be challenging you this month. You may be planning a house move or a makeover for your home. Pisceans are sensitive souls and shrink from any thought of challenge – however, Mercury will put the pressure on you nonetheless. You will need to take time out to regenerate your energies and regroup your ideas. Do you really need to make changes at this time? Or could it wait until later in the year? You are going through lots of changes in your spiritual life as well as in your outer life. These can sometimes feel exciting and other times just a bit OTT. The key is not to worry – read what I tell Virgo about worrying! And remember, the Universe isn’t out to get you – it’s only Mercury swinging backwards and forwards and wreaking a bit of havoc at your expense. Learn to laugh at it all and relax.
