Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Aries, and delayed endeavors, adventures, learning, legal, travel or issues with communications/transportation systems in your life can wreak some havoc until December 15th. But even if these matters are tricky, there are some lovely benefits to this retrograde period. In the coming weeks, aim to look at past projects and places for answers. In a recent rush, you may have missed some vital details, and now it’s time to reconsider. Today’s energies are too loopy to fully back new beginnings or big changes and decisions, so aim to lay low, observe, and process. Keep sincere detachment from the day’s events for the best results. Misjudging things is entirely possible, so it’s best to leave assessments open-ended. However, the retrograde cycle is a good time to stretch your mind and consider new possibilities as long as you wait to act upon them.Taurus
Today’s energies favor gathering yourself mentally, dear Taurus. Mercury turns retrograde, and until December 15th, you’re in good shape for researching, refining plans, learning about a relationship, discovering what makes you tick, and personal introspection. There can be some confusion surrounding financial commitments and shared resources during this retrograde period. You may frequently turn to the past to better understand the present with intimate and financial matters. Consider that information can be incomplete for now, and it makes sense to focus on confidence-boosting activities. In fact, you may be waiting for information. Watch also that you don’t neglect or overlook important financial details, and it’s better not to lend someone something if you want it to get back to you without a hassle. You are in better shape for discovering hidden or overlooked resources, so be patient.Gemini
Mercury has been moving through your partnership sector, dear Gemini, and today, Mercury turns retrograde. While your plans and relationship goals are big, it’s best not to rush things. Now and over the next three weeks, there can be some confusion surrounding partnership matters, either personal or business, or both. It’s not the time to look for a clear commitment. Communications can be muddled for the time being, but delays can also help you better understand your situation. Past people and issues in your life can re-emerge. The tendency is to try to make sense of feelings and ideas and to reach agreements or at least get to a place of understanding. You may see a new side of a person or situation. Mercury is your ruler, and while retrograde until December 15th, you may be revisiting old issues or feeling stuck at times, particularly in or about a close relationship. However, reflection ultimately serves you well. Do watch what you say and how you say it during this shift today and tomorrow. Mustering up patience may be best.Cancer
With Mercury starting its retrograde cycle today, dear Cancer, you may be dealing with some backtracking or delays related to your work, methods, habits, or health in the weeks ahead. However, these can give you time to reconsider and refine recent decisions and ideas for the better, so be patient! Today is awkward, however, since it’s the day of the shift/station. Circumstances seem to be conspiring to slow you down, and it makes sense to do so of our own accord. This retrograde cycle, lasting until December 15th, might serve to sway your thinking and change your mind about recent decisions, and it makes sense to think in terms of review rather than pushing forward with something entirely new. Slow down and tend to those things you’ve overlooked. It can be difficult to see all the facts before you, so that schedules can easily become mixed up, or projects you began in the last few weeks need revision. Re-thinking the suitability of your job, chores, routines, or projects is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. Double-check your work before submitting it. It’s an excellent period for researching health programs and alternatives and for checking into past projects.Leo
With Mercury beginning its retrograde cycle today, dear Leo, it’s a natural time for slowing down, taking stock, and reviewing in-progress projects. Communication breakdowns are possible today as the shift occurs. Mercury’s retrograde in your sector of romance, creativity, and heartfelt pursuits lasts from today to December 15th. Now and over the next three weeks, there can be some confusion surrounding these matters. Communication is not likely to be straightforward. The creative process might feel as if it’s moving backwards, when in fact it’s more of a realignment process that’s happening. You are thinking and expressing yourself in different ways. There may be the need to revisit old issues with love interests, or there could be some communication problems to manage. People from the past tend to come back or become a mental/emotional focus in your life during this cycle. Take this time to get in touch with your intuition and look at old problems in new ways. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you concerning personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, and this particular cycle affects matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. If a project or relationship is not moving forward in distinct ways, it might seem like stagnation, but it’s more likely a period of review and rest.Virgo
Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Virgo, and will remain retrograde until December 15th, effectively extending Mercury’s transit of your sector of home and personal life. While there can be some mechanical issues or delays to manage, it’s a great time for seeing your life from an entirely different perspective, particularly your emotional experience and matters related to family and home. It’s a useful time for processing and digesting recent events. You may be waiting for an answer, particularly related to home or work, but this affords you time to reconsider options. Past errors can crop up, but instead of stressing yourself out too much, take advantage of the time you have to reevaluate what you are doing. New initiatives are not wise at the moment. However, reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful in the coming three weeks. Today is better for taking stock rather than pushing something forward.Libra
With the Moon’s move into your sign, you’re focusing on your emotional needs, dear Libra. Watch for seeking instant gratification rather than recognizing genuine emotions. Feelings you’ve set aside or buried to deal with other issues in your life can rush up to the surface now. Mercury turns retrograde today, and some of the new work or endeavors begun recently could come up for review later. Until December 15th, matters surrounding learning, transportation, and communications can involve some confusion or backtracking. It can be challenging to focus on cold, hard facts, and essential information may be missed or is not yet available. Be flexible and vigilant when marking important appointments and errands on your calendar. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go sideways, you might experience transportation problems, or communications are lost or missed. However, through these frustrating experiences, you might discover new ways to express yourself — ways that wouldn’t have come to mind otherwise. This is in fact a powerful time for reviving old projects and reviewing and revising work already in progress.Scorpio
Mercury is retrograde from today until December 15th, dear Scorpio, and there can be a change of mind or interest, possibly even a bit of regret when it comes to those things said or begun now and recently. This retrograde occurs in your sector of assets, and there may be a need to review your finances or budget, or you could be dealing with lost or misplaced possessions. Take the time to rethink your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything significant for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold. Aim to approach old problems from a new direction or perspective. Today, try not to be too offhand with communications, expecting others to get your meaning. Mercury’s station can create a heavier atmosphere in which communications are taken more seriously and not necessarily correctly for now. Focusing on projects and tasks already underway is generally a good idea while Mercury is retrograde. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases.Sagittarius
With Mercury turning retrograde in your sign today, dear Sagittarius, you’re shifting gears. Mercury will remain retrograde until December 15th and will spend the full retrograde cycle in Sagittarius. Tremendous insights and perhaps the beginnings of critical new ideas can emerge during this three-week period. It’s a time best used for reorganizing and reflecting. There can be delays, misunderstandings, and a lack of clear messages. This cycle is more personal for you, and you should take extra time to be sure you’re clear in your communications. Decision-making turns inward, and intuition often reigns over pure logic, which can be quite beneficial in spots. In truth, looking at the world through different filters leads to interesting new ideas and perspectives. While you may be putting your foot in your mouth occasionally, you’re also working on clarifying your thoughts and ideas and getting plenty of space to do so. However, the shift today can be disorienting. Avoid speaking or deciding on something too soon.Capricorn
Mercury begins its retrograde cycle that runs until December 15th, dear Capricorn, and you’ll be doing further ruminating over the past. Mercury in your privacy sector already inclines you to some introspection, and this retrograde period emphasizes this theme further. You may question your intuition until you recognize that you are looking at things in entirely new ways, and this different approach can be just as or more useful. Still, it can be frustrating as things are not always straightforward. Ideally, minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication lead you to winning alternatives. The cycle is useful for reconsidering recent decisions and noticing previously overlooked details. However, you might unwittingly reveal something that you’d prefer to keep private and it would be wise to be exceptionally clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world or take this time to re-examine issues rather than talking about them prematurely. Today is complicated as Mercury’s directional shift occurs, pointing to some information clogs and misunderstandings. Try not to schedule crucial conversations or meetings now.Aquarius
There can be some fuzzy thinking or misunderstandings today, dear Aquarius, with Mercury turning retrograde. Mercury will continue in retrograde motion until December 15th, and some of the seeds you recently planted in terms of long-term goals will likely need review or revision. Friendships can be trickier to handle. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend, and it can be an interesting time to do so. There can be some need to smooth things over, go back to the drawing board, and reassess matters. It would be wise to be especially clear when communicating with friends and associates during this cycle. Better yet, you might take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely. Keep in mind that thinking can be especially confusing today. There could be false leads or poor instructions to deal with as the shift occurs. However, as long as you keep a spirit of fun with you, this can be a rewarding day. Refinement and editing work can be useful in the weeks ahead, and it can fill the time productively if you’re waiting for results.Pisces
With Mercury turning retrograde today, it’s best to be flexible with your schedule, dear Pisces, since mix-ups are possible as the station occurs. Mercury retrogrades in your solar tenth house until December 15th, and while it’s a strong time for refining long-term goals and career projects, there can be some confusion surrounding business plans or communications. It’s a good time for review but not the best period for clear-cut answers. Information clogs are likely. While you wait for the information you need, you might reconsider things, but wait it out before drawing conclusions, if possible. Exercise care when communicating with the public, superiors, a partner, and co-workers. Keep in mind that information received or perceived today may be emotionally biased or incomplete. It may be a good idea to stick to projects that are already on the table or in the works rather than take on brand-new endeavors. Consider that it’s a powerful period for looking to the past for answers on how to manage current responsibilities, as well as for editing your work and observing trends.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
