If someone speaks bad of you or something you believe in, try not to take it personally, and instead try to resolve the conflict calmly. There is definitely no need for enemies and quarrels at the moment.

Mercury retrograde will test your ability to resolve conflicts calmly

#Gemini

Gemini, it is time to rewind the tape and evaluate how you have behaved in your relationships with your loved ones. Are you as innocent as you would like to think, or do you need to take the time to carefully examine your behavior? During this time, it is important not to fall into a pattern of prioritizing yourself at the expense of others or vice versa. Make sure you take your space and think about your communication and self-reflection.

For you, Gemini, this time is all about reflection and evaluation

#Cancer

For Cancers, this is the perfect time to make sure you set appropriate boundaries and state your desires clearly. The fact that you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses will ensure that you achieve all of your goals with ease. People will look up to you as a peaceful leader, and as someone who can maintain their integrity. Mistakes are normal because we are all human, but Mercury retrograde is your time to right the wrongs.

#Leo

For you, Leo, Mercury retrograde is a time for reflection at home. Think about your early childhood memories and write them down in as much detail as possible – the earlier the memory, the better.

This will bring you a lot of healing and insight into what you really want from a romantic partner. For you, this is a healing time that is best paired with a journal.

Leo, grab your journal and get into the nitty-gritty of things

#Virgo

Virgo, although you are brimming with unique ideas that you can’t wait to share and implement, wait! It is a great idea to iron out the details before making any drastic changes in your professional life. Even if you feel loaded with enough knowledge to share and teach others, it is a great time to brush up on your knowledge on some topics. Take a deep breath and focus on planning and learning during retrograde.

Sagittarius, during spring 2023 and Mercury retrograde you may be feeling quite misunderstood, even more than usual. You might also need to think about how your words reflect on others.

And if you realize something or someone isn’t quite in line with your growth, take the time to find out why by talking to them.

#Aquarius

Aquarians need to be very careful in the love realm because Mercury can swirl some serious love triangles. Aquarians can become more jealous than usual and start looking at other people. This can hurt their loved ones a lot and cause them great pain. The energy of chaos, fueled by Mercury, will be a real test of the will of the people of this sign. So, all you need to do as an Aquarius is to slow down and cherish the beauty in your life!
