ARIES

SEX: Try to be as honest as you can with your partner, even though you think/feel this could have adverse affects.  In the end you’ll be glad you did.

POWER: During the next three weeks slow down and don’t be in such a rush to get things done, because with Mercury retrograde mistakes will be made.  This is a time to reassess your accomplishments so far.

TAURUS

MONEY: This Mercury retrograde could be an excellent time to create new ideas for making money, if you can put time aside to “tune into” upcoming trends that are on the horizon and lay-out a plan of action once Mercury  as novel forward.   Doin’t second-guess yourself, if you feel  your ideas are too bizarre.  Chances are you’ll be way ahead of your peers.

POWER: Use the energy of your opposite sign Scorpio to transform ideas into something big, that the public will grasp with open arms.    Your sign is that of money, material possessions and personal resources, so have the the self-worth (also Taurus), to expand your mind to see the “bigger picture”.

GEMINI

MONEY: With Mercury retrograde in Pisces February 16th - March 9th, you’ll probably have to deal with certain individuals in authority/power and.or connected to goals and ambitions..  These will be individuals from the past who have let you down, not followed through with promises or commitments.   Be careful how you interact with them, it would be wise not to pursue any type of business/financial transactions or negotiations with them at all.  This will spare you further disappointment or delay  in plans.

SEX: As long as you and your partner can agree to some kind of commitment that makes you both happy, everything in love will run smoothly.

POWER: During Mercury retrograde it would be best to trust your own counsel rather than that of others.  The possibility of miscommunication is very high, but need not occur.

CANCER

MONEY: Instead of initiating new creative ventures, expanding horizons, learning something new, first give deep thought as to whether the timing is right.  The answer is no, because Mercury is retrograde for three weeks and with it comes a lot of problems, delays and mistakes.  For now, it would be wiser to contemplate your next move, plan for the future with great discernment and attention to detail.  

SEX: Keep your feet on the ground and avoid getting too carried away with love, to the point you lose touch with the reality of what is going on between you and your partner.

POWER: Mercury retrograde in Pisces will also lead you to question what you believe to be true, either because of experiences that occur or something said during the cycle. Either way, your beliefs about life will be challenged and at the end of this retrograde cycle , you may find that the things you thought were real and true were not.

LEO

MONEY: Past karma will resurface during Mercury retrograde that will probably be uncomfortable to deal with.   Best course of action is to deal with situations slowly, being mindful in he area of joint financial partnerships, how you’re being perceived.  Don’t think for one moment you’ll get away with things  that need to be confronted,  because always, sooner or later the Universe will remind you.

SEX: Don’t allow wearing rose-colored glasses blind you to deep rooted issues that need resolution between you and your partner.

POWER: This Mercury retrograde could be an emotional cycle for you, especially when dealing with women.  Therefore,  take a deep breath and don’t let fear take control.

VIRGO

MONEY: Anything of a visual nature for public consumption should be looked at very carefully during Mercury retrograde.  This is the time to create, redo and reassess what you have done so far, or make a concerted effort to complete projects by the time the retrograde is over.     This is important if you want to make money from new ventures.    Time is of the essence and you don’t have much left to put things in place, before retrograde season begins April through November.

SEX: A week to restate commitment and solidify the foundation of love with your significant other.   You’ve come a long way in this area of life and  know that it’s worth it to keep up the good work.

POWER: You have the capacity with careful wise planning to achieve a lot by using creative talents.  However, belief is the key.  Knowing that you have something special to offer that is of worth and value.

LIBRA

MONEY: This week’s Mercury retrograde will take affect in the area of work.  Situations that you’ve been through before, dealing with people who aren’t necessarily upfront with information or mislead will be the scenario you have to deal with, yet again.  Read between the lines of everything presented to you and if something is not understood, go to the source directly.  Pay attention to detail and avoid signing papers until the retrograde is over.

SEX: In the area of love be true to what it is you know will make you happy in love and don’t settle for less without compromise that is mutually agreeable.

POWER: If you keep things practical and straightforward and if necessary write things down for clarity, a lot of confusion can be avoided over the next three weeks.

SCORPIO

MONEY: It’ll be hard to keep up with commitments in career and goals because of Mercury retrograde in Pisces for three weeks.  While this is occurring, plan for the future and put ideas and work to be done in some type of organized structure.  At the same time avoid getting too caught up with extracurricular activities that waste time.   Even though this is a retrograde cycle, it means something needs to be redone or looked at again for mistakes.

SEX: Love will go well if you keep your feet f firmly on the ground and avoid being too engrossed with the fantasy of love and what is going on between you and your partner, especially the physical aspects. Don’t take them for granted and remain sensitive to their needs.

POWER: You may feel as if you can accomplish anything, the sky is the limit.  This is true, but any achievement will happen with a clear focused plan of action, otherwise you’re likely to come “crashing down” to earth when reality hits.

SAGITTARIUS

MONEY: Your foundation of life is definitely in need of an overhaul, but you must take one step at a time in order to get things done correctly.   Once you’re able to decide what exactly it is you want to change then everything will start to move forward in the right direction.  This i s what you must do during Mercury retrograde.  Anything of a visual nature, once transformed and simplified will bring you tremendous success.

SEX: You r partner may not be all that they appear to be on the surface and whether you know that or not it’s time to deal with the reality of this fact and see them for who and what they are.  If you continue to give them qualities they don’t have, you only have Self to blame for your unhappiness.

POWER It’s quite possible that during the Mercury retrograde cycle certain relationships that have a future dissolve or aspects of the relationship that need to go are revised/brought to the surface.  Either way, there’s next few weeks will be a time of “cleansing” in many ways.

CAPRICORN

MONEY: It’s possible during this retrograde cycle that individuals involved in projects, plans and ideas may omit certain pieces of information that you need to know about and should therefore read any  documents, rules etc. very carefully before  you agree to move forward into new horizons.   In addition, this isn’t the best cycle to actually begin something new, it will be fraught with problems, difficulties and delays of all kinds.   It would be wise to wait until the retrograde is over before starting new beginnings   If you don’t understand something, ask.

SEX: Make sure all communication with your partner is clearly understood,  There is a danger of miscommunication during the retrograde transit.

POWER: Pay attention to dreams and meditations (a by-product of Mercury retrograde in Pisces), because there will be many insights provided that will help you deal with present situations in your life.

AQUARIUS

MONEY: Money, material possessions and self-worth will all be highlighted during the Mercury retrograde cycle, February 16th - March 9th.   You will be dealing with situations form the past, some connected to visual projects and work that somehow went awry/brought sorrow and elf-undoing.   Tread with care and don’t allow certain individuals to mislead you into believing other than what you know to be true.  Trust your instincts.   This way you’ll steer clear of any further negativity directed towards you.

SEX: Friends and lovers are a good combination if you can actually create a relationship on this basis.   It can be done and if you avoid becoming detached from your partner,  (an Aquarius  habit), consciously or unconsciously, love will bloom.

POWER”: Doors from the past you thought were closed could reopen during this retrograde.  However, it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want certain individuals back in your life.   The question is how negative are they and what were the reasons that caused you to walk away from them?  You know the answer to these questions.

PISCES

MONEY: When it comes to getting things off the ground you may find, during Mercury retrograde, that individuals don’t follow through with right action, not living up to your expectations.   Also, the fact that this happened before and those responsible come back into your life.   Don’t be so quick to let this happen, or agree to anything they’re offering, because  you’ll end up with a minus instead of a plus.    Carefully assess the situation and then decide what you want to do or not do.

SEX: This isn’t a good time for making commitments or promises in love.   Least of all starting a new love-relationship.    Promises made will be later broken and more than likely bring a great deal of upset and sorrow.  Keep things practical and easy-going for now, at least until this cycle is over.
