Aries (March 21 – April 19)

The creative juices are flowing today as clever Mercury sets up shop in Pisces and your twelfth house of musing—where it will stay on and off until April 10, an extended circuit due to a retrograde from February 16 to March 9. For the next ten weeks, give your chatty, analytical side a much-needed break and let your imagination drive. You’ll benefit from taking time to reflect—journal, meditate, draw or paint—especially when Mercury is in reverse. Get plenty of deep sleep during this cycle since vivid dreams will be ripe with symbolism and meaning. If there’s an old childhood wound you’ve suppressed, let it come to the surface now for release. Mercury helps you find forgiveness—even if the person you most need to absolve is yourself. See the full week >

Taurus (March 21 – April 19)

Today, expressive Mercury shifts into Pisces and your eleventh house of teamwork and tech for an extended sojourn. Your digital presence gets a cosmic boost—anything you share or tweet COULD go viral between now and April 10! Make sure it represents the best of you because Mercury will be retrograde from February 16 to March 9, which could bring repercussions for insensitive missives. Be sure to get your technology up to code and your important data password-protected before February 16. Offline, make the rounds at industry networking events and rub elbows with thought leaders. You’ll find comfort in group outings or reconnecting with kindred spirits who’ve fallen by the wayside. Surround yourself with plenty of good friends and stimulating conversation.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Because of an upcoming retrograde from February 16 to March 9, the cosmic raconteur will weave in and out of this realm for an extended period—until April 10. Ideas you set into motion now could continue to lay the groundwork for years to come, so consider your road to stardom carefully. While your sign hates to say (and hear) “no,” you could benefit from saving your precious time for more sophisticated invitations that better serve your career. Put your head down and do the work—bigger payoffs await. See the full week >

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Inquisitive Mercury wings into Pisces and your worldly ninth house. The messenger planet weaves through this zone until April 10, an extra-long tour due to a retrograde from February 16 to March 9.

Stop thinking, talking or dreaming about that incredible trip or business venture and start putting concrete plans in place. If you want this badly enough, you will find ways to work that grandiose scheme into your real life. Pro tip: Get plans cemented before March 9, and if you travel during the retrograde, triple-check every reservation…and keep your valuables in the safe. See the full week >

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Today, mindful Mercury makes an extended pit stop in Pisces and your meticulous sixth house. No detail will go unnoticed by you while the messenger planet weaves in and out of this realm between now and April 10. While Mercury is retrograde from February 16 to March 9, you’ll also need to decide which bells and whistles deserve your attention and which ones you can set aside for sanity’s sake. Deal with any administrative affairs that have piled up, like scheduling doctor’s appointments, organizing and filing paperwork and finishing your taxes.

Awards show parties, crafting meetups, tarot nights and slumber parties: If anyone knows how to make the most of these dark days, it’s you, Scorpio. Glamorous and romantic exchanges are also in store, but if you are pondering a big reveal—of your loving feelings or a fashion-forward style—get to it before Mercury turns retrograde from February 16 to March 9.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Communication planet Mercury rolls into Pisces and your cozy fourth house today. As the messenger planet weaves in and out of this sign until April 10, you’ll be grounded in domestic affairs.

When Mercury turns retrograde from February 16 to March 9, a wave of nostalgia could send you flipping through photo albums or dusting off a shoebox of old love letters. Thinking of relocating or planning a reunion visit? Begin your research before February 16. And in the meantime, dive into a project that can transform your home into even MORE of an elegant sanctuary.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Today, messenger Mercury sails into your sign for an extended visit, blessing you with a silver tongue.

The one caveat: You’ll need to employ stronger filters between February 16 and March 9, when Mercury spins retrograde. If your wardrobe or website theme feel dated, get to work on your visual communication and branding. The goal is for people to get the gist of who you are BEFORE you even say hello.
