How to Survive Mercury Retrograde, Based on Your Sign
Communication seems off, travel plans are messed up, and your annoying ex might even reappear! Here's a guide for all of that and more so you can survive this chaotic summer
It's going to be a confusing time for Taurus babes: You might find yourself feeling more impatient and impulsive (which is so not you). This is because the Mercury retrograde is crippling your usually careful and considerate mind. So, when deciding things, remember that you don't have to immediately give your answer. Allow yourself some time to think and evaluate your priorities. It's very VERY important to examine leases and contracts if one comes your way.

Mercury rules your sign, so when it is in retrograde, you'll feel the effects strongly. You may find yourself hitting a roadblock and it might feel demotivating — but instead of letting anxiety rule over you, reflect and reassess the situation. Try not to be too defensive, even as emotions pour. When you think clearly, you will be able to find alternative routes and find better solutions to your problems.

We've got two words for you this Mercury retrograde: EMOTION OVERLOAD. And as your emotions get the best of you, you will want to retreat to your shell. But, don't be too hard on yourself: While it's a difficult time for you, it's best to take a step back and try to observe situations from a stranger's perspective. Immerse yourself in a self-care routine so that you'll have enough love and nurture to give others.

It's your time to shine! But while you enjoy your season, be mindful of your responsibilities because you might be extra forgetful because Mercury is in retrograde. If there's anything you hate, it's being embarrassed in front of your friends or colleagues. So, if you have presentations or meetings coming up, be sure to practice a lot of time and back your files up. (Because remember, technology is affected during this period!)

Brace yourself, Virgo: The Mercury retrograde will make things chaotic for you. Your order and routine will be off-balance so you need to be even more organized and prepared than usual. Though if there are circumstances that you can't change, take a breather and learn to let it go. Overthinking won't do anything.
It may also be a good time to reach out to financial advisors when it comes to handling your moolah. This will lead you back on track and give you more financial confidence.
