Mercury stops its quarterly backward spin on the 18th, which means communication SNAFUs, travel mishaps, and technology going haywire will finally come to an end—or so we hope. When it finally stations direct, we’re in for a blissful three-month period of no retrogrades. Soak it up—this is a rare time to enjoy!

Here’s what’s in store for the signs this week:
Aries – IX of Wands Reversed
You’re feeling restless and stuck at the same time, making you feel overwhelmed and antsy. Perhaps it is the lack of support in those you keep close to you, or you’re not sure if what you’re chasing is meant for you. Just know that you’re almost there.
Taurus – IV of Swords Reversed
The high of last week made you eager to push forward, but it feels like your responsibilities have all come crashing down at you all at once. You may have overdone it with the commitments, so take this as a sign that you must take it easy.
Gemini – Death Reversed
Nothing in this world is permanent, so let change unfold as it is meant. It can be challenging to let go of what’s familiar and comfortable, but the more you resist this transformation, the more difficult it will be—and the more you’re starving your soul of the exciting things that are to come.
Cancer – The Magician
You’re more powerful than you think, Cancer. You’re the star of your life, so you can make your dream a reality as long as you’re intentional about what you want to do and how you see yourself getting there. The key to achieving your dreams is to realize they aren’t so wild.
Leo – V of Wands Reversed
There’s a lot of internal struggle that you aren’t sure how to process. This could have something to do with work, your responsibilities, or a big decision you aren’t sure about. Don’t run away—take a lot of time this week to figure out what it is you really want. Journal, meditate, go for a walk, or talk to someone you trust.
Virgo – VI of Cups
This week, you’ll encounter or cultivate a warm connection that makes you feel safe and secure. The past few weeks have been difficult for you, but this special relationship will remind you that your happier days aren’t necessarily in the past; there are plenty more to come.
Libra – VI of Pentacles Reversed
Be a bit more careful with your resources, Libra. You tend to be a spendthrift when pursuing your latest whims and fancies, but this is fast depleting your money. Don’t spend more than you earn, or you’ll be caught in a tough situation. Don’t be tempted to take on debt, either—this will only worsen your circumstances.
Scorpio – X of Pentacles Reversed
You dream of having it all, and it’s still very much within your reach. However, you’ll need to reevaluate what ‘wealth’ and ‘success’ mean to you—is it having the latest designer items, a grand house, or a sports car you’d be terrified to drive? Are you managing your money enough to move you closer to this dream?
Sagittarius – Hierophant
You’re not one for doing things the tried and tested way, but sometimes, tradition can help you get where you want to be. Instead of going out there without a plan, consider consulting experts or authority figures—they’ll have a lot of insight to help you build a strategy to get you exactly where you want to be.
Capricorn – King of Swords
You’re a master of listening to your head over your heart, and that will come in especially handy as Mercury retrograde starts spinning in the right direction. You’re single-minded about keeping your emotions in the right places to pursue your goal, and nothing will get in the way of that this week.
Aquarius – III of Wands Reversed
Even though you like to tell everyone you prefer the road not taken, you’ve been scared of actually exploring something new. What is the worst thing that can happen? You’ll regret not taking this opportunity to grow and discover parts of yourself that will excite and surprise you.
Pisces – Page of Wands Reversed
You’re forever in your head—it’s hard to blame you because sometimes the outside world just doesn’t cut it. However, you need to redirect your vivid imagination toward new projects or plans that can bring you closer to the life you want. Stop living in your head and embrace the reality in front of you.
