Mercury, the planet of communication, movement and thought, turns retrograde on March 15 at 9 degrees Aries and will reach 26 Pisces on April 7. During this period, the classic issues that accompany a Mercury retrograde - misunderstandings, delays, miscalculations and returns to the past - will be in the forefront. Its shadow will last until the end of April, which means that even after straightening out, situations will not have taken their final shape. This retrograde combines the impulsiveness of Aries with the ambiguity of Pisces, making dilemmas more intense and decisions more fuzzy.
Of course, if you need a personal session, you can find me here.
Aries
Your reactions will be more impulsive than usual and you may say things you will later regret. The past is knocking at your door, either through thoughts or through people suddenly reappearing. You may feel blocked in personal or professional moves, and there will be a sense that everything is happening more slowly than you can bear.
What to do:
- Review old ideas and plans.
- Take time for rest and internal reflection.
- If you have unfinished business from the past, now is your chance to tie up loose ends.
What to avoid:
- Hasty decisions that may bring reversals later on.
- Confrontations, especially if you are not sure of what you are saying.
- Total changes in your professional or emotional life, as the facts will change.
Taurus
Your social contacts and friendships are being tested. People from the past may return, either to tie up loose ends or to upset your peace of mind. Business partnerships need caution as discussions will be vague and promises uncertain.
What to do:
- Rethink your goals and whether your partnerships serve them.
- Give time to your friendships, but keep your distance if there is tension.
- Revisit plans and projects you had put aside.
What to avoid:
- To blindly trust new acquaintances or partnerships.
- Financial investments related to others.
- Rely solely on the advice of others - their judgment may be clouded.
Gemini
Your career path seems to be entering a period of review. Perhaps some projects will be delayed or a project will require more attention. If you are waiting for answers about a job or promotion, there will be delays or misunderstandings. On the other hand, you may reconsider whether you are on the right track or need to change your strategy.
What to do:
- Review business agreements and make sure there are no ambiguities.
- Focus on old ideas that can be revived.
- Give yourself time to work out your next steps.
What to avoid:
- Signing contracts or committing to new professional projects.
- Hasty moves that will bring you into conflict with superiors.
- Complaining or grumbling about your career development - things are temporarily stagnant.
Cancer
Your need for stability comes up against the turmoil brought by Mercury retrograde. Matters of study, legal affairs or travel may present obstacles or changes. People from the past may come back into your life, bringing new perspectives or dilemmas. Your personal beliefs are being tested, and you may feel the need to redefine your philosophy of life.
What to do:
- Give time to decisions related to studies or travel.
- Review plans for a future trip, but don't book tickets yet.
- Keep an open mind in discussions that may change your perspective.
What to avoid:
- Make radical decisions about your future.
- Investing money in education or international cooperation without control.
- Give credence to unconfirmed information or rumours.
Leo
Your financial and emotional balances are tested as Mercury retrograde brings delays in money you expect or in agreements concerning third party finances. On an emotional level, old relationships or insecurities you thought you had overcome may return. Some truths will come to the surface, but you may have to wait before facing them with confidence.
What to do:
- Take another look at your financial obligations and renegotiate where you can.
- If a person from the past returns, think about what has changed - not just what you feel.
- Try to manage your insecurities before making decisions.
What to avoid:
- Financial commitments or new agreements concerning joint finances.
- Impulsive reactions to emotional issues.
- Ignore a hunch that tells you something is wrong.
Virgo
Your relationships - professional, personal and friendly - will come under the microscope. People from the past return, either to close loops or to create new dilemmas. Discussions may be vague or there may be misunderstandings, so keep your guard up. If you are in the process of negotiating, prepare for changes in the facts.
What to do:
- Rethink the dynamics of your relationships and see if they need redefining.
- Take notes of important conversations to avoid misunderstandings.
- Give a second chance to people who deserve it.
What to avoid:
- Make final decisions about relationships and partnerships.
- Believe uncritically what you are told - there may be half-truths.
- Make commitments you're not sure you can keep.
Libra
Your everyday life will have several twists and turns, either because of delays at work or because of problems with habits and obligations. You may have to revise some professional procedures or deal with old health issues that reappear. Communication with partners or colleagues will be difficult, so keep a low profile.
What to do:
- Review your routine and make sure to adjust what is weighing you down.
- Plan your day better to avoid delays.
- Have a preventive health check if you have doubts about something.
What to avoid:
- Start new work projects that require absolute precision.
- Neglect your health because of stress.
- Rely on information from colleagues without confirming it.
Scorpio
Mercury retrograde brings upheavals in your love life, creative activities and relationships with children. If there have been issues in a relationship, now they may resurface. A person from the past may contact you, creating confusing feelings. Your creativity will have ups and downs, so don't push yourself.
What to do:
- Give space to your feelings and listen to what they tell you.
- If someone comes back from the past, notice if it has really changed.

- To invest fully in a relationship that has already proven unstable.
- Make hasty decisions about your children or hobbies.
- Ignore your need for rest.
Sagittarius
Mercury in retrograde brings delays and misunderstandings in family matters or issues concerning your home and personal life.
