Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The new moon in Sagittarius occurs at 12:21 a.m. Chicago time.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Travel, higher education, publishing, medicine and the law have your attention. Due to Mercury retrograde, these areas might be plagued with delays, misunderstandings and mistakes; nevertheless, you can more quickly wrap up old business in these same areas.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your focus on shared property, debt, loans, inheritances and insurance matters is timely because Mercury retrograde will do two things: It will create delays and goofy mistakes in these areas, but it will also help you to finish things quickly. A mixed blessing.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Conversations and dealings with partners, spouses and close friends are jinxed by miscommunications, missed appointments, errors and forgetful issues. On top of this, ex-partners are back in your world or your dreams. This can be frustrating. Wrap up loose details. Hang in there!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You’re keen to work hard now and accomplish as much as possible, which is why it’s so maddening that Mercury retrograde is creating delays and errors to your work as well as health issues. It seems unfair. But Mercury retrograde will also help you finish old business quickly. (A bonus.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be as clear as possible dealing with your kids and romantic partners because Mercury retrograde will create misunderstandings. Furthermore, you might hear from old flames or they might appear in your dreams. This can be confusing. Mercury retrograde is over Sunday, Nov. 15. (Whew!)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Although Mercury retrograde might attract family members back into your world, it will also help you finish home projects, finish home repairs and wrap up family issues that have been on the back burner, especially dealing with a parent. Use this advantage in the next two weeks.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Mercury retrograde will create frustrating issues for you right now with delayed transportation, car problems, mixed-up communications, silly errors, misplaced items and forgetfulness. It’s enough to make you think you’re losing it! You’re not. Keep your cool for the next two weeks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Delays and mistakes are particularly frustrating when it impacts your earnings, cash flow and possessions. Therefore, be observant. Double check everything during the next two weeks. Ideally, postpone purchasing cars, computers and cellphones this month! (Save your money.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In one way, you are empowered right now because both the sun and the moon are in your sign, which will attract positive situations and people to you! This will also energize you. Nevertheless, for the next two weeks, Mercury retrograde will create goofy errors, delays and misunderstandings. Courage.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are one of the few signs that can benefit from this Mercury retrograde because it will help you to research and dig into the past for answers to problems or historical information. Although it’s a poor time to buy computers, phones and ground transportation – this is a great time for you to buy wardrobe goodies.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
In some ways, you might be enjoying this Mercury retrograde because it will attract old friends from the past back into your life. You love your friends. (Well, most of them.) This is a social, friendly time for you. However, be patient with partners and close friends while Mars is opposite your sign this month because it can create tension with others.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You continue to look good to everyone with the sun at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Be aware that with the Moon there as well, people know personal details about your private life. (Whaaat?) You might have to do some damage control.
