Countdown to a Retrograde: Tomorrow begins Mercury’s retrograde journey through Capricorn, the sign of tradition and authority. Typically, people fear the hassle of a Mercury retrograde, but for those who would like to see a different kind of distribution of power in their lives, this transit might be the welcome disruption that offers opportunities for change.
CAPRICORN
(December 22 to January 19)
Of course, complaining is useless. If you can fix it, you will. If you can’t, there’s nothing to talk about. The simplicity of this will make your life and relationships much better.
AQUARIUS
(January 20 to February 18)
Caution is often a sign of intelligence. But it is also possible to be overly cautious, micromanaging movements and stumbling in the process. You’ll find balance with a sweeping gesture of trust and goodwill.
PISCES
(February 19 to March 20)
The ones in the middle of the two-lane road are only as safe as the drivers around them. As much as you’d like to remain neutral, you’ll avoid trouble now by choosing a side and getting into the flow of traffic.
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
People will be interested in catching up with you. Brevity is the way to keep it that way. You’ll lead with a fun energy and keep your stories short and intriguing. Less minutia is more mystery.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Descartes said, “Cogito ergo sum,” or “I think, therefore I am.” Maybe, though it’s what we do, not what we think, that goes down in the records. You’ll make sure to line the two up today, putting what’s on your mind into action.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 21)
The level of fun you can reach correlates to the level of duty you perform. Just as soon as you complete your responsibility, life gets very fun and exciting indeed. But if you don’t fulfill an obligation, all else will be stalled.
CANCER
(June 22 to July 22)
You want all to do the right thing, including and especially you, since anything less makes you very uncomfortable. Stay awake and aware of social nuances. You learn a lot when you don’t expect everyone to be like you.
LEO
(July 23 to August 22)
Everyone says unexpectedly silly things once in a while, but if you can manage to say them more often, you’ll break the ice, build rapport and help people feel comfortable enough to share real information.
VIRGO
(August 23 to September 22)
While no person’s reputation in the world is entirely under their own control, you have a good handle on what you think of you -- an idea that will translate into confidence that everyone around you senses and responds to.
LIBRA
(September 23 to October 23)
The ability to see things differently will be like a superpower. Life is kaleidoscopic now, susceptible to changing with the slightest shift of your position and vantage point. Slide over but an inch and the pattern changes.
SCORPIO
(October 24 to November 21)
Other people’s kind of fun can be an interesting experience, and you’re willing to give it a whirl. In the overlap between your kind of fun and theirs is an opportunity to expand your capacity for joy.
SAGITTARIUS
(November 22 to December 21)
An inner calm serves to sharpen you in unexpected ways. Your powers of observation are augmented. You’ll notice things about people, things that were there all along, but you’re now able to see with great clarity.
