Your practical observation will help with time management, and your family will take your advice; you’re in this.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Your creative ideas are plentiful this week, but you might find that your ideas are much more likely to be executed in the long run: a lot of them are not necessarily going to be delivered. Good collaboration will have to be done without any confusion. Instead, we should not try to come up with new ideas, but we will do the best we can to polish and improve our old ideas and create new ones in the long run.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Your intuition is stronger in the moment, so it can be useful to have it to help you to make sense of the situation. Keep the focus on self-care, and don’t add anything else. You are not going to have to be in a hurry. And financial discipline and good planning will keep you stable in the midst of the chaos.
What does Mercury Retrograde mean?
Mercury retrograde is the optical illusion of Mercury moving backward in the sky from our eyes in the sky. In the astrological world, it is typically associated with communication difficulties, travel disruption, technology failure, and the need to go back and revisit unfinished business. So many astrologers would counsel a period of reflection around this time for the rest of our lives, and to look back at the past and resolve things that are not going to change anything in our lives.
