The lyric from Soul II Soul’s classic dancefloor filler – “back to life, back to reality” – springs to mind as retrograde Mercury returns to Taurus after its weekend with the Sun. Although this cosmic move might feel a bit like coming back down to earth, there’s no fear of a crash landing. We’re being encouraged to focus on the substance of an idea, and to work out how to move difficult situations forwards in positive ways. With an open-minded attitude, problems won’t be insurmount­able for long.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Self-doubt. It’s a state some people fall into too easily. The mere suggestion of a mistake is enough to make them go back to the drawing board. Other folk are so self-assured that they plough on, regardless of the fact they’ve misjudged a situation or committed an outright error. You’ve got a suspicion that you’ve made a miscalcula­tion, which is particular­ly tricky because other people are depending on your leadership. Suppose you really have got it wrong? Well, it’s not impossible. But, as you’re about to see, it’s unlikely.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

If patience is a virtue, what are we supposed to make of folk filled with vim, vigour and dynamism? Are they wrong? Dangerous even? Of course not. It’s easy to overlook the energy and innovation required to change our world. From commercial airlines to microwaves, the desire to broaden our horizons and save time has been the driving force behind many of the inventions we take for granted. Although you can be patient, if you make some bold adjustment­s, the plan you’ve devoted so much time to will work.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

It’s much easier to be weak than it is to be strong. Imagine how different life would be if it was the opposite way around? Yet you’re more than capable of coping with challenges. Actually, you’re almost more comfortabl­e when you’re dealing with difficulti­es than you are when things are running along smoothly. As your retrograde ruler, Mercury, leaves your sign and returns to earthy Taurus, it brings both an opportunit­y to revisit a problem and offers a pragmatic slant that enables you to find a satisfying­ly simple solution.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

You’re quietly courageous. You try to do the right thing, no matter how hard it might be. But morality is complicate­d. One society’s notion of justice is another’s idea of punishment. The line between right and wrong isn’t fixed and clear, it’s variable and fluid. Yet most of us have an in-built code that guides us to make good decisions. If you’re unsure about a decision, listen to your inner voice. Deep down, you know what needs to be done. A small step, taken with considerat­ion today, has the power to change everything.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Since you’re trying to make sense of a paradoxica­l situation, it’s hardly surprising that you’re struggling to put the pieces of a puzzle together. No matter how hard you try to rearrange it, there’s a piece left over. Each piece is interestin­g and relevant, but you can’t arrange them into the finished article. No wonder you’re feeling baffled and exasperate­d. Can you find a way to miraculous­ly turn this chaos into a calm, satisfacto­ry solution? As your ruler, the Sun, links to lucky Jupiter today, you can. Inspiratio­n awaits.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

The ability to “love thy neighbour” is a quality we’re all supposed to aspire to. Which is fine when you get on with the people living on your street. But it’s not easy to feel kind and loving towards the folk next door if you can hear their music blaring in the wee hours of the morning. Fortunatel­y for anyone in your vicinity, you’re about as kind and forgiving as they come. As your ruler, Mercury, moves back into Taurus, it enhances your ability to communicat­e with empathy. If there’s an issue to address, speak from your heart today.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Just because something’s right doesn’t mean that it’s easy. Although we shouldn’t assume that difficult things are good, we need to be slightly wary when solutions to problems seem astonishin­gly simple. Somewhere in your world a convenient assumption has been reached. Although it sounds convincing, it’s failed to take account of an essential piece of informatio­n. As Mercury changes signs, it’s worth checking the facts. Just because others are happy to go along with a plan doesn’t mean an adjustment won’t be beneficial.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

Just because adventure movies are often located in exotic corners of the planet doesn’t mean there’s less to be found in a field down the road than an isolated cave in a remote jungle. Sure, the latter might be more glamorous, but there are always possibilit­ies to make wondrous discoverie­s no matter where we are. As the Sun links to Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, you can uncover something very exciting today. If you do something out of the ordinary, you’ll find treasure in the most mundane of circumstan­ces.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

Are you being over enthusiast­ic? Is your dream so far-fetched that it’s impossible to fulfil? There’s only one way to find out. Stop hankering after something and get on with manifestin­g it in your world. Give it a go. Commit yourself and see how far you get. Of course, that’s only the case if you really do want what you say you want. Maybe you just want to want it. Maybe the fantasy is entertainm­ent enough, and you don’t need to make it part of your reality. But, as the Sun links to your ruler, Jupiter, if you focus, you can work magic.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

As an insightful Capricorn, you’re aware of your shortcomin­gs. Although this doesn’t always make life easy, it’s a blessing. Paradoxica­lly, it means that you’re also, on a deep level, conscious of your attributes. In fact, your tendency to selfcritic­ise is the reason you’re able to push yourself further than other folk. You’re aware of your capabiliti­es, and you want to do your very best. Today, confident that the world already knows how wonderful you are, you’ll be able to further your progress without making any more sacrifices.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

We’re expected to be confident about what we’re doing, which is why uncertaint­y makes us uncomforta­ble. It’s as if we’re ashamed about our lack of conviction. When you consider the fact that as children, we’re expected to know the answers to teacher’s questions, and tested to show that we’ve been paying attention, it’s hardly surprising that we feel stressed when we don’t know something. Yet doubt is valuable. When we’re in situations that make us question ourselves, we should feel glad not bad. Have the courage to be honest today.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Have you ever missed your stop on a train journey? Or whizzed past the right motorway junction? It’s so frustratin­g. On you trundle, heading in the wrong direction. To make matters worse, you have to head back, along the route you’ve just been on, to get to where you needed to be. With Mercury in retrograde, this might sound like some of the situations you’ve been dealing with recently. Now though, it brings you a chance to deal with a source of frustratio­n that will free you to move forwards, in a satisfying way.
