By Hedy Damari
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Relying on payments and various “done deals”? Retrograde Mercury has other things in store. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket and have a contingency plan up your sleeve. Spend wisely and keep receipts, especially with birthday splurges.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
Feeling misunderstood? It’s little wonder with ruler Mercury out of sync in your sign. Be clear and check that all correspondence reaches its destination. On the plus side, you’ll have wriggle room to change your mind.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
You may feel as though you’re waiting for things to unfold. Be patient and try not to make assumptions. Above all, follow your intuition.
Leo
July 23-August 22
A reason, season or lifetime? This is how you’ll be measuring your friendships over the next three weeks. Culling superficial connections will allow you to give the more important people the attention they deserve.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
An ambition you once held dear may not be quite as relevant as it once was. Give yourself time to recalibrate and reprioritise.
Libra
September 23-October 22
You’ve been inspired to step back and focus on the big picture. Now though, those broad brush strokes may have caused you to miss some of the finer details. Pay attention to the smaller things so that you needn’t backtrack.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
The squeaky wheel will get the oil! It’s time to demand more from a person and a system that are letting you down. Don’t stop until you get what you want. You will also go in to bat for someone who has trouble standing up for themselves.
Sagittarius
November 23-December 20
Relationships will be tested as Mercury turns retrograde. Communication is key. That means listening as well as expressing yourself, and remembering the importance of healthy boundaries.
Capricorn
December 21-January 19
Instant gratification won’t fill your belly like a long-term challenge! You’ll be encouraged to look for projects and ambitions that require time, patience and accountability – they’ll be more satisfying than an immediate pay off.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
You’re usually pretty decisive but today you might be oscillating until your head spins. Weigh up the pros and cons of an important decision but don’t sit on the fence for long or you’ll miss an opportunity, especially regarding love.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Testing of your comfort zone will foster growth. Don’t avoid situations that are uncomfortable. Instead, push through. Meanwhile, it’s important to unwind – it will help you come to a sensible conclusion or accomplish something exciting and new.
Aries
March 21- April 19
Communication and daily life may not go according to plan as Mercury turns retrograde. Use your resourcefulness and flexibility to go with the flow. Who knows, different circumstances may allow for new possibilities.
