Mercury retrograde: delays, money and old flames
Several signs are warned about Mercury's retrograde motion. Taurus readers may find someone quietly helping them reorganize the home, and because Mercury is retrograde opposite that sign, many are said to be running into ex-partners and old friends in person, online, or in thoughts and dreams. Gemini is told to expect silly errors and delays involving work and health over the coming weeks.[S1]
Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is promised travel disruptions, muddled communication, confused appointments and a general feeling of inefficiency for the next few weeks. Libra may see checks arrive late and face other financial hold-ups, with the column urging careful reading of bills and invoices and restraint in spending. Scorpio hosts the retrograde until November 13, and the column advises waiting until the end of November to buy cars, trucks, bikes, phones or computers.[S1]
Career, family and romance notes across the signs
Cancer readers are told that talks with parents, bosses, VIPs and police will be blunt and businesslike, possibly touching property, possessions or finances, while the new retrograde may bring former romantic interests back. Leo is described as energized and interested in rules, with competitive sports, outdoor activity and stocking the fridge for visitors recommended. Capricorn is reminded of duties toward parents at home, with a younger or creative person possibly offering help or diversion.[S1]
Aquarius is cautioned against sinking into worried, negative thinking and encouraged to accept help from a partner, spouse or close friend; a boss or parent not seen in a while may get in touch. Pisces has energy for work and new learning but may be careful with money, and romance with someone from a different background could bloom. Sagittarius feels the pull of travel and adventure, may spend time with someone of another age, and is said to be dabbling in secret romances. Gemini enjoys socializing with friends and groups, possibly alongside an older or more experienced person.[S1]
