Aries
Patience is not your forte, but you will need to work on it during the upcoming retrograde – especially in the area of teamwork. An exchange of opinions can become rude if you don't choose your words, because people are very likely to misinterpret what you are saying and get offended. Be extra careful and consider how you express your thoughts in collaboration with others.
Bull
This retrograde will have a particularly strong impact on your business life, so don't be surprised if you run into project delays or have trouble expressing yourself professionally. Instead of taking on new ventures in your career, use this time to reflect on past ideas and analyze your plan. When it's over, you'll be fresh and ready to play with more confidence.
Twins
Try not to make too many assumptions during the upcoming retrograde, because Mercury's "naughtiness" could make it difficult for you to see the true picture. Mercury is your ruling planet, so its slowdown could overwhelm you and turn your personal beliefs into rigid dogmas. Keep an open mind as you navigate a sea of potentially miscommunications, and be willing to expand your horizons to consider multiple viewpoints.
Cancer
This retrograde will demand a lot from you. Instead of getting emotionally involved in other people's problems, use this period to think deeply and examine your own emotional strength. If you are willing to think outside the box and trust your intuition, you can begin to work on old wounds that have been weighing you down and leave them behind for good.
Lion
This retrograde affects your relationships, so you may feel some tension in your love life. Past disagreements can resurface, new ones can be created if you are not careful with your words. Use this as an opportunity to be objective about your partner's problems and try to address the contentious issues instead of pushing them to the side.
A virgin
For one of the most naturally organized astrological signs, Mercury's games will be the most frustrating part of this backdrop. Even your efforts to plan for the future will encounter obstacles and confusion, so it is best to be flexible with your time. Everything is going to be late - including you - so try to leave yourself some room to move the dates of meetings or projects.
