It’s the First Mercury Retrograde of the Year: Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of February 17

Libra (September 22 – October 23)

You’ve been trying to do so many things at once in your attempt to feel productive and fulfilled. However, doing so has left you feeling exhausted. Learn to prioritize! You are not a machine. Cut back on the things that are not necessary for you to maintain a balanced and happy life. You’ll realize that, by doing so, you’ll feel much more fulfilled and good about yourself.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

Be wary of doing things recklessly and overindulging just because you “feel like it.” You have lost touch with your inner calm, choosing instant gratification to reward yourself. If you don’t stop anytime soon, you’ll harm not only yourself but other people who matter. Take responsibility for yourself and have a much healthier attitude towards life. Be patient and listen to both your heart and mind.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

A big change is coming in terms of your relationships, and it may or may not be good. Be careful of getting into heated arguments and conflict with you loved ones due to intense emotions and acting without thinking. Always consider how your words and actions will affect those around you. Never see yourself as a victim in every circumstance, either; choose to be the bigger person and initiate reconciliations, forgiveness, and healthy communication. You may be tempted to give in to your temper, but always choose kindness.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Perhaps there are things going on in your life that you feel you have lost control over and it’s begun to harm you in ways you never thought it could. This could be a vice you’ve become addicted to, or a job that’s hurting your mental health, or a relationship that isn’t as wonderful as you’d hoped. Whatever it is, it’s time you seize control of your life and change how you live it. Making the change won’t be easy, but it’s necessary for you to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Do what’s best for you, no matter how terrifying.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 18)

Your pride and arrogance will be your downfall. While it’s great to have self-confidence, it’s easy for your ego to balloon with every success and achievement you make. Instead, be humble and open to learning more than you know. Collaborate with others so you can help life each other up. Be grateful for all the challenges and the journey it took for you to get to where you are. Be driven to do more and be more!

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

Remember: if you’re going through a tough time, you can always rely on the comfort and support of your friends, family, and loved ones. Stop dreaming of what could have been—all the regrets and what ifs—because not only is it unhealthy but it keeps you from moving forward with new dreams and new motivations. Focus on the now instead. You are more than capable of achieving your goals; you just have to stay on the path and work hard.
