The notorious Mercury retrograde begins at 10:51 p.m. Mercury retrogrades about three to four times per year. It’s part of how it gets its signification for being the planet of communication and trickery. This year, all Mercury retrogrades will be in the air signs, with the first one beginning in Aquarius. Mercury is the planet of communication, and when it’s in retrograde, make sure to pencil in time for delays and miscommunications.

Aries 

Skip past the small talk -- it’s better suited for people who don’t have your charm.

Taurus

It’s not possible to be friends with everyone, so why try? Just be yourself.

Gemini 

Fun, creativity and yes -- even a tiny bit of drama are on the agenda for this day.

Cancer

Open up. Connecting with others is easier if you show them who you really are!

Leo

A party animal is much more introverted than usual today. Don’t let it throw you.

Virgo

Today is a good day to make a clean sweep of things -- tidy up and you’ll cheer up.

Libra 

Listen that nagging voice inside of your head. It’ll send you where you need to be.

Scorpio

It’s a good day to work on your own -- people are busy and will leave you alone.

Sagittarius 

Don’t rush ahead with any major purchases -- you must hang on to your money!

Capricorn

Step out of your safe circle -- and try to expand your network more aggressively.

Aquarius 

Someone may have a different agenda than you do, but they still have a right to it.

Pisces

Try not to be too critical of someone who let you down recently. Be compassionate.
