Mercury Retrograde is Here Again: Here's Your Horoscope For the Week of September 27

The last Mercury Retrograde of the year is here! With Mercury, the planet of communication, retrograding through the sign of Libra, the sign that rules our social lives, we are called to reassess our relationships with certain people and how we can find more balance within our bonds with them.

Here’s how you can protect yourself from this month’s Mercury Retrograde.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Your dreams are coming to reality right now! Open yourself up to learning new skills and expanding your knowledge at this time. Realize how much potential you have but remember to stay grounded as you apply your creativity to the world. In every problem, use your intellect to find clear-cut solutions instead of depending on your emotions.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

There are tons of ideas in your head and you can’t wait to bring them all to reality, but curb your enthusiasm and don’t give in to rash decisions. Understand the situation first, be patient, and plan out your next steps carefully. Once you’re confident of your success, you can go all the way!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

A long-term goal of yours has been achieved and you need to give yourself this moment out of your busy schedule to actually stop, breathe, and enjoy the rewards of your success. Be proud of all the progress you’ve made! Remember that breaks are necessary and that you can always ask for help when you need it.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

You may be struggling financially or in terms of your stability in your life or your career, but instead of looking for someone or something to blame, you should focus instead on what you can do to turn things around. Don’t turn a blind eye to the opportunities that abound around you because you are capable of achieving so much. Believe in yourself!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You might be feeling stuck and burdened by the heavy weight of your emotional baggage, as well as the fear of uncertainty. But this negative mindset is unhealthy for you to keep. Remember that change isn’t always bad and you have to be open to it. Release your wounds, learn from the pains, and stay true to yourself.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Brimming with confidence, you are driven by your unlimited potential and determination to chase after your dreams no matter what. Don’t let anything hold you back! Be mindful, however, of how you treat others in the process; don’t trample over people to get what you want and always keep your ego in check.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You are laser-focused on your goals and you are brimming with confidence that you will get to where you need to be with absolute success. Embrace the uncertainty and veer away from your comfort zone or else you’ll never reach your full potential! Put all your talents to good use and don’t let the fears and doubts overpower you.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Your tendency to nitpick on every little detail is actually holding you back from creating something amazing. Stop obsessing over perfection and, instead, enjoy what you’re doing! Focus on why you’re expanding your knowledge and skillset and avoid comparing yourself to others. After all, every journey is unique and takes time.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You may think you’re able to juggle everything at once but this is actually spreading yourself too thin and inhibiting you from making any actual progress. You need to choose what’s worth investing your time on and take things one step at a time. Never attempt to burn yourself out under the guise of productivity!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You are finding it difficult to trust people right now and you’re terrified to commit to long-term plans or of being burdened by responsibilities. But you need to take a step back, breathe, and understand that things aren’t as bad as you may think. Let situations unfold as they are meant to be and trust that your gut will take you where you need to go.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You may be feeling frustrated right now from constantly striving but having nothing to show for them. So much doubt is clouding your mind and you need to cut straight through them to see the truth of the situation. Follow your gut on where to go next!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

There is a lack of harmony in your life as you may be placing other people’s needs before your own. Prioritize your own needs and make sure you are living well within your means. After all, how can you give unto others when you have none to give yourself?
