CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Things won’t go according to plan, as Mercury reverses through your sign. So improvisation and patience are needed over the next two weeks, until Mercury goes direct again on August 1.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

You’ll feel like slowing down and hibernating, as Mercury starts reversing through your solitude zone. But that will just make communication more confusing and tasks much more tedious.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Mercury starts reversing through your peer group zone. Despite other people behaving in irrational ways that you can’t really fathom, do your best to keep the lines of communication open.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Over the next two weeks, retrograde Mercury confuses communication – especially with work colleagues. But, if you are clear and concise, then you can still get your message across loud and clear.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Be careful how you pass on information over the next two weeks, as Mercury is retrograde. If you are vague, then you’ll be misunderstood. Clever Scorps will adopt a concise and cautious approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

If you can, then avoid signing important contracts over the next few weeks, as Mercury reverses through your joint finances and “money-fromothers” zone. Instead, be patient and wait.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Expect conversation overload as Mercury starts reversing through your relationship zone. So make sure you choose your words wisely. Otherwise you’ll just upset family, friends and/or colleagues.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

With Mercury reversing into Cancer, avoid signing contracts and buying big ticket items – like a computer or a car – until after August 1. Plus get any health problems checked as soon as possible.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

A relationship with a friend or acquaintance is about to go through a tricky patch, as Mercury confuses communication and heightens sensitivities. A dash of deft diplomacy will see you through.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Prepare for some difficult domestic dramas and frustrating family fiascos, as Mercury reverses through your home zone. So avoid bringing up controversial subjects until a less stressful time.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

With Mercury going retro in your social networking zone, double-check all posts, tweets and emails before you press send. It will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Mercury starts reversing through your money zone. So strive to become more educated about your financial situation. If you don’t understand all the facts and figures, then find someone who does.
