What’s the point of it all? Not to get all heavy and existential on you, Aries, but a period of extreme soul-searching begins on Saturday. As healing Chiron turns retrograde in your sign, you’ll examine yourself under a stronger lens. What kind of mark are you leaving in the world? Are you doing work that satisfies your soul? Does the authentic behind-the-scenes you match your public persona, or are you living a double life? These are the kinds of questions you may grapple with between now and December 15. Though it may be painful at times to go there, it feels much worse to ignore your calling or to put on a false front. On Sunday, tend to the people in your inner circle as messenger Mercury ends a retrograde that began on June 18 and has been shaking up your home and family zone ever since. Maybe you had a challenging standoff with a close friend or a chaotic situation at Chateau Ram. Take heart: The messenger planet is sprinting forward again, smoothing ruffled feathers and soothing hurt feelings. With articulate Mercury in this corner until August 4, you may want to put your eloquence to work making amends with anyone who has felt the sting of your sharp tongue over the past three weeks.

By December 15, when Chiron corrects course, you could be surrounded by a truly supportive squad.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Have you gotten a little too obsessive about your health or another control-related matter? On Saturday, healing Chiron turns retrograde (backward) in your work and wellness sector, calling for a more balanced approach to daily routines. It’s smart to be up on the benefits of a plant-based diet and foam rollers, for example. But if you’re approaching your practices from a place of fear, use this cycle to turn the tide.

What are you camouflaging, Sagittarius? Deep-diving Chiron turns retrograde (backward) on Saturday in your fifth house of passion and self-expression, helping you embrace some of the traits you keep under lock and key. If you tend to play the comedian to throw people off your trail, it’s time to stop hiding behind the jokes. Between now and December 15, go even further with breaking down the barriers to being authentically you. Own your “weird” side—celebrate it, even! Chances are, others will revel in your realness. And if they don’t, why are you hanging out with them anyway? On Sunday, get back in sync with your closest partners in life, love and…everything! Tension may have erupted when communicator Mercury went retrograde on June 18 and retreated through Cancer and your intimate eighth house. Maybe you’ve felt the weight of romantic upheaval or crossed wires with colleagues. With Mercury back on track in Cancer until August 4, you can start ironing out the kinks in a shaky joint venture and repairing key relationships.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Time to repair some family wounds? Healing Chiron turns retrograde (backward) in your domestic fourth house on Saturday, giving you deeper access to your own inner child. Experiences from your early life may be informing your choices as an adult in ways that aren’t benefiting you. Between now and December 15, find healthy ways to process those experiences so they no longer hold you back. Perhaps you need to mend a rift or do more to nurture your bond with a loved one. A relationship with a parent or child might require similar attention. Does your home feel like a sacred oasis? Use these next few months to add some TLC. If you’ve been having not-so-secret doubts about your closest relationships, whether in love or business, you can blame those uninvited thoughts on Mercury retrograde. Since June 18, the messenger planet has been reversing through Cancer and your partnership zone. With Mercury back on track starting Sunday, you can cooperate effectively to find solutions—and even have fun doing it. But no more mincing words. Before August 4, confront the people or address the situations that have been contributing to your angst. Remember, Capricorn: dialogues, not diatribes! See the full week >
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Do you know how brilliant you are, Aquarius? Starting Saturday and lasting until December 15, “wounded healer” Chiron will be retrograde (backward)—a retreat that begins in your communication house. Old insecurities could flare up around expressing yourself. Maybe you find yourself tongue-tied at a meeting or flustered when someone wants to move past small talk. Perhaps you realize that way too many of your conversations are stuck at the superficial level or center around complaining. Whatever the case, this is an ideal cycle to practice speaking from the heart, even if your voice shakes a little when you do. Sunday brings a reminder of the importance of self-care as mindful Mercury pivots out of retrograde. Since June 18, the messenger planet has been napping in your sixth house of health and organization. If you’ve been feeling the effects of all that signal-scrambling in the form of stress-related meltdowns and fatigue, it’s time for a change. Reconfigure your schedule so you can spend more rejuvenating time in the sunshine between now and August 4! See the full week >
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
On Saturday, deep-diving Chiron turns retrograde in your second house of finances and self-worth, engaging you in an epic transformation. Everyone has some form of money issues, and they can actually be a helpful lightning rod, revealing where you lack security or trust. For example, do you feel the universe will provide the right opportunities for you, or are you constantly afraid that the other shoe is about to drop? Reflect on some of your early memories; these play a huge role in shaping limiting beliefs. Working with a financial planner or money coach can get your bank account in fighting shape by December 15! On Sunday, Mercury snaps out of retrograde after mucking up matters in Cancer and your passionate fifth house since June 18. An ex may have returned to cause trouble, or maybe you’ve just felt distant from bae. In all social situations, people have gotten under your skin more than ever. Today, Mercury moves forward again, helping you make amends or just start fresh with a more fitting romantic interest. Soon, you’ll be ready to embrace a healthy relationship—or bring some stability to the one you’re already in. See the full week >
