WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

Aries

A contrary cosmos has you in the midst of eddies and flows in the prevailing currents. On the one hand Mercury’s backflip into retrograde from Sunday through to the 29th buys you some time to think things through. On the other Mercury itself joins forces with your own ‘I want it now’ ruling planet Mars on the 12! So of course, you’re not going to lose your sense of purpose. Just be a skilled warrior when it comes to your strategy.

Taurus

Asking you to ‘settle’ into a Uranus transit is an oxymoron. However the pulsing feeling of travelling light through a series of changes is in itself an art. Besides which, Mercury is pivoting retrograde this Sunday which always produces some twists and turns in the story. Bearing all of this in mind, it’s best to live in the moment rather than trying to formulate binding, long lasting agreements and plans. New material is revealed on an almost daily basis so focus on keeping abreast of developments as they happen.

Gemini

Spinning your wheels can be the accompanying feeling of Mercury retrograde – especially when it’s in your opposite sign of Sagittarius and the dynamics between you and others are squishy rather than sorted. However, this can be an excellent time to re-visit an idea and bring it to life again, perhaps tweaking it and bringing it up to date. Wednesday brings Mercury and Mars together – a fiery dynamic which could be productive or combative depending on how you handle it.

Cancer

You’ve played host to generous Jupiter since June 9th and many Cancerians have experienced some kind of serendipity during this period. However Jupiter, like Mercury is turning retrograde this week so it’s time to pull in your pincers and attend to your inner world. Process all that has happened and call on your considerable insight and intuition to re-format and re-formulate several plans and modes of action. Don’t be in a rush – however impatient people are. It will take as long as it takes.

Leo

Remain as fluid and flexible as possible when retrogrades are the key movers in the heavens. This means going back over, dealing with an interruption, seeing what’s missing, changing dates and plans. It’s all part of the territory but really no big deal. Retrogrades are a necessary part of the process of making sure things work properly in the end.

Virgo

Playing catch-up is what you do when Mercury is retrograde. And this is actually one of your favourite occupations as you do enjoy setting the world to rights. So get stuck into the nitty gritty of sorting everything out, whilst retaining an open mind as to how, why and when as the unlikeliest scenarios can pop up. It’s often these oddities that turn out to be absolutely for the best.

Libra

The union of Mercury and Mars is not known for sweetness and light and now that Mercury is also in retrograde you might find people are blurting out with more than they intended to say. It’s best never to take things personally as anything anyone says is really about them, not you. Clear the backlog during this period. It will also help clear your mind.

Scorpio

It’s time to have a re-think about self-worth, earnings and material matters. Whilst Mercury is in retrograde you can change things up and re-negotiate those areas that are not a true representation of your value. There’s also a chance that something will come back to you that you had written off. Get your ducks in a row and above all reconsider how you want things to be going forward.

Sagittarius

As Mercury is now reversing in your sign and due to meet with spikey Mars midweek it’s ultra important not to make an impulsive blunder. Think before you speak, do your due diligence and buy yourself enough time to come from a considered position rather than blurting out something that you may come to regret. On the other hand you may have plenty of reasons to think that you’ve been waiting for this moment to do something that has been a long time in the making.

Capricorn

It’s highly likely that an issue from the past will re-surface now. At the very least you will find out what’s been going on behind-the-scenes. This is interesting information although it may not be what you’d hoped for. It means you can address something that needs to be re-formulated, re-framed and dealt with once and for all. You could also let someone know how the thing makes you feel.

Aquarius

You could get the distinct feeling of going round in circles this week as a retrograde Mercury revisits Mars – this time in the teams and groups angles of your chart. Perhaps there is dissent or a backtrack on what you thought to be a best-laid plan. If so, look on it as buying you time to make it even better. Allow what comes to light to inform you about what else needs to be included.

Pisces

It’s perfectly possible that someone is getting back in touch or coming back into the mix this week and will offer you a chance to re-visit a plan. The movement of life is all about timing and with Mercury in retrograde we often get a second chance or a second look. As this planet joins with assertive Mars in Sagittarius a spark is lit when you thought it had gone out.
