SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV With Mercury reversing through your sign, things won’t go according to plan. So improvisation and patience are needed over the next few weeks, until Mercury goes direct again on November 20. SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC Mercury starts reversing through your solitude zone. So you’ll feel like slowing down and hibernating. But that will just make communication more confusing and tasks more time-consuming. CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN Be careful how you pass on information over the next three weeks, as Mercury is retrograde. If you are vague, then you’ll be misunderstood. Clever Caps will adopt a concise and cautious approach. AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB Over the next three 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. PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR With Mercury reversing through your adventure zone, double-check all travel plans carefully. Other people won’t behave in rational ways so strive to keep the lines of communication open. ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR If you can, then avoid signing important contracts over the next few weeks, as Mercury reverses through your joint finances and ‘money-from-others’ zone. Instead, be patient and wait. TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY 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 or colleagues. YOUR DAY: Mercury reverses through the sign of Scorpio until November 20. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are a caring and observant person.

But make sure you put aside regular quiet time to relax and recharge your batteries. GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN With Mercury going retrograde, avoid signing contracts and buying big ticket items – like a computer or a car – until after November 20. Plus get any health problems checked as soon as possible. CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL 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 diplomacy will see you through. LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG Prepare for some difficult domestic dramas and frustrating family fiascos, as Mercury reverses through your home zone. Avoid bringing up controversial subjects until a more suitable time. VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP With Mercury going retro in your social networking zone, double-check all posts, tweets and e-mails before you press send. It will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person! LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT 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, find someone who does.
