Horoscopes
Aries
Mercury’s three-week retrograde period comes to an end today, and this means our mental reorientation period is completing. Keep in mind that communications can remain confusing as Mercury changes direction, and this can be magnified today. You can benefit greatly by slowing down and getting your facts straight. Relationships, partnerships, finances, intimate connections, and negotiations will resume normal speed, turn around, or gain more clarity. Save important launches and big decisions for later. Also today, you may need to get serious about a financial issue. Some of you could choose today to quit a bad habit.
Taurus
Mercury is ending its retrograde cycle today. In the coming days and weeks, plans or projects that have been put on the back burner begin to move forward. Work endeavors, projects, and tasks can become clearer, pick up speed if they had stalled, and decisions revolving around them become more straightforward to make. Mercury in transition today means we still have to make an extra effort to be understood. You are commitment-friendly today, although it’s probably best if you wait for the dust to settle before promising the moon! Tomorrow, Mars enters an Earth sign, harmonizing with your sign – another reason to feel more in sync.
Gemini
Your ruler, Mercury, ends its retrograde period this afternoon. While the shift itself can feel a little chaotic, over the coming days and weeks, you feel better equipped to make decisions and you give off clearer signals. Communications in general improve, and you can also experience more clarity when it comes to creative affairs and projects, a child’s needs, and romantic relationships/signals. Especially sensitive issues and topics are better left for a less chaotic day. There is a relatively serious, and possibly cool, energy to today. You could feel quite pressed to finish work or a new responsibility can fall into your lap.
Cancer
Today marks the end of Mercury’s retrograde cycle. Mercury picks up speed in your family and home sector, bringing more clarity and possibly improved communications in your domestic world. Results are not immediate with Mercury retrogrades! The shift/transition can in fact be a little difficult or confusing. In the coming days and weeks, you might revisit conversations, issues, problems, and decisions that were put on hold, getting nowhere, or confusing. This time around, you’re more likely to understand all of the variables in the equation. Some plans or decisions made recently could seem unnecessary or less important now.
Leo
Mercury ends its retrograde cycle today. While the transition can stimulate increased confusion and misunderstandings, slowly but surely over the coming days and weeks, recent dilemmas may be easier to resolve. Transportation, learning, educational, and communication difficulties are likely to clear up. Recent decisions made could be revisited and projects might either pick up speed or seem less attractive. There can be a serious mood midday, as new responsibilities could fall into your lap. Be especially careful when expressing yourself. Take new projects and developments slowly.
Virgo
Mercury, your ruler, ends its retrograde today, and slowly but surely, you’re likely to be less pensive and more decisive. You are also clearer in the signals you’re giving off, helping others to understand your intentions better. Career projects, goals, and initiatives can push ahead now. There is more energy, and possibly determination, to go after what you want. Today, take extra care when it comes to communicating, shopping, and going over details. The direct motion of Mercury happens today, but its apparent speed is still very low. Financial initiatives and learning endeavors can see the most progress in the coming weeks.
Libra
After three weeks of retrograde motion, Mercury turns direct today in your sign. Recent indecision is likely to clear up, and recent contemplation to pay off. Day by day, others can find it easier to “get” you, and conversations are more to the point and direct. Today, as the shift occurs, be especially careful with your choice of words, clear in your instructions, and mindful of details. If possible, wait to address important or tricky issues for a clearer, warmer, more receptive day. Today might involve facing a reality on a financial matter, but also the determination and discipline to improve.
Scorpio
With Mercury ending its retrograde cycle today, communication difficulties are likely to begin clearing up. Some of the matters that have left you on the fence can either no longer seem important or the choice becomes very clear. New information might emerge that changes your outlook. You are more able to deal with problems from the past. During the shift that’s occurring today, it’s still the wisest choice to wait to make important/big decisions and important launches. The Moon is in your sign all day, and you may continue to feel quite energized, although also quite moody.
Sagittarius
Mercury’s three-week retrograde ends today, and although communications can remain a little tricky during the shift, in the coming weeks, more clarity and easier decisions are likely. There may be new information or interests emerging now that change your own direction, a partnership may begin to gain momentum, and your friendships or place in a group seem clearer. Today is best for keeping things simple. Relaxing, comforting activities suit you best right now. If you feel the need to escape, it’s very likely a valid need at the moment.
Capricorn
You may have experienced some retrograde Mercury fogginess in the past few weeks. The retrograde ends today, and in the coming days and weeks, career planning and goals, projects, long-term plans, health, and work are likely to be clearer. Today, however, there can be some confused communications or other kinds of misunderstandings as the shift occurs. Try to delay serious discussions if it’s possible. Avoid fixating on syntax errors and what is said and what’s not said. These can only serve to aggravate.
Aquarius
You may have been dealing with more transportation and communication problems or delays in the past few weeks, and you could also have been rethinking some of your current plans. However, with Mercury now turning direct, you are likely to regain clarity and motivation, particularly when it comes to schooling, career, and creative direction. Changes in direction tend to magnify problem areas for a short time, and this can occur today. It is probably best to wait for an easier, more flowing day to discuss important topics and to make big decisions.
Pisces
Mercury stations today after a three-week retrograde, as the planet of communication turns direct. While this has the effect of speeding up mental processes, for now, there can be some difficulty seeing things for what they are. Finances in particular require special care. Relationships and power dynamics are other areas that are tricky. However, these very same things are set to improve, clear up, and move forward over the coming days and weeks. You’ll be in a better position to understand your relationship situation.

Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours.
