Happy Astrological New Year, sky lovers!
You need not worry, however.

Stagnation and frustration most often accompany us during retrogrades.
Your sun sign will resonate, more or less, with whats going on.
I specifically stress you know and check your ascendant sign for further clarification.

To skip to your retroscope instead of reading about Mercury in Pisces, look below for your sign.
Mercury is in Pisces: the sign of spiritual closure, dreams, and transcendence.
This energy is wishy-washy, but strangely its also heavy.
Things may move at a pace a lot quicker than you were expecting.
You may find different outlets for escaping certain responsibilities or things that must be addressed to move forward.
Quite frankly, it might be overwhelming at first.
This is what the Piscean energy is about, baby.
Own them as part of you.
Let it soften you.
Happy birthday month, Aries!
This retrograde is taking place in your 12th house of closures, spirituality, and healing.
Thankfully the only thing this retrograde is shaking up for you is within your inner universe.
No sticks, stones, or broken bones for you.
2018 was full of painful revelations about learning to be gentle with others and yourself.
Whats beautiful is how genuine this is for you, Aries.
Taurus (April 20th to May 20th): Wine and dine, not whine and cry.
Have you been grinding hard, Taurus?
Rhetorical question, of course.
You may feel tempted to revisit an old work project, perhaps adding revisions to it.
Its highly advisable for you to dabble in social activities.
Dont ever underestimate the power of networking that comes from natural, fun-centered social interactions.
If you really just need to post about it on social media, then by golly, do it!
(…Butdontget crazy, okurrr.)
As Mercury is also in Pisces, dont feel guilty if your dreams wander a little bit.
Mercury is retrograde in your 10th house of career and your destiny in the world, Gemini.
Load and behold, Venus is in your 9th house of travel and expansion.
Of course, this is all self sabotage!
Its highly advised to limit your travel during this time and take it easy on your health.
This can help alleviate your anxiety.
Cancer (June 21st to July 22nd): Are you feelin it now, Krabs?
Time to break out of that shell and begin a new cycle.
Remember Cancer, be patient with yourself during this time and when moving forward.
Thankfully, this means you are going to get a huge kick off from the universe later this year.
That is something to look forward to.
Visualization and taking exceptional care of your body will do you wonders.
Astrologically speaking, its almost time for your graduation, Leo.
Its almost time for you to step into the lion illuminating in gold, owning their power.
The Leo/Aquarius node cycle was an excruciating experience for Leos these last few years.
Venus begins in your 7th house and joins Mercury in the 8th.
Youre also asked to confront any interpersonal conflicts with family, friends, or anyone of that sort.
Miscommunication is heightened for you during this retrograde.
Be transparent and youll find more people are in the crowds cheering you on than you think.
They cant believe it if you dont believe it yourself, Leo.
What you want isyours.
Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd): Get bitter or get better.
Your planet is going retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships and relationships, Virgo.
Mercury is notorious for sending your sign into an overthinking frenzy.
You are your own worst enemy during this retrograde, especially when it comes to self-improvement and self-criticism.
I know youre thinking, My life must be retrograde everyday, then.
Virgo, you do have a problem with being rather harsh on yourself without any good reason.
A similar theme occurred for you during the2018 Venus Retrograde.
Not to say youre negative, dear Virgo, but manifestation starts in the mind.
This is a promising year, Virgo.
Dont hold yourself back!
Libra, youll really befeelinyourself during this retrograde.
Most of you likely experienced a sudden shift in direction regarding your life path in recent months.
This retrograde is bringing you an unusually empowering energy thats forcing your lazy yet amazingly fabulous butt up.
This is energy to harness to your benefit.
People of your sign can remain lazy when chasing their dreams because you are tactful and realistic.
Thankfully, Libra, your grace and self-confidence do push you to work harder than your fellow air signs.
This retrograde may bring you overexcitement or impulsivity pertaining to a new opportunity or endeavor.
Preserving your energy is extremely important this month because your breakthrough is around the corner.
Now isnt the time to go full force, Libra.
Uh oh… something been on your mind, Scorpio?
Is it time for you to let us know whats up?
This retrograde is taking place in your 5th house of expression, creativity, and passion.
Understand this is completely natural and that you owe it to yourself, Scorpio.
Your happiness and stress levels matter too.
The goal here is to prepare yourself for healthy and productive communication, Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 23rd to December 21st): Home is totally where the heart is.
Are you feeling slight anxiety because of too much work, whether thats school- or job-related?
For others, its simply emotional unavailability which is gradually lessening (all fire signs are experiencing this).
Your home is key this month because you need it whether you want to admit it.
It will do you wonders when getting back to the grind.
Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19th): Blindfolded or bill folded?
Where the heck is your head right now, Capricorn?
Some of you may have trouble getting to someone you care about or may feel a slight distance.
For many of you, you may have a minor financial mishap.
You may think you have more money than you do, so be mindful of that as well.
You may also find yourself splurging a bit and treating yourself to some online shopping or a traveling opportunity.
If this is you, the universe is saying,Why the heck not?
!But its also saying to not gettoocrazy, either.
Thankfully, this is temporary, Capricorn.
Just get through this weird juju and youll be golden post-retrograde.
Aquarius (January 20th to February 18th): Stop, drop, and bank roll.
Aquarius, have you been wasting time on a not-so-fulfilling job or source of income?
Now you may feel financially burdened with the costs of making this happen.
This retrograde may intensify pre-existing frustrations with your self-image because you thrive best when you rely on yourself.
Youre just longing to step into your own power and make things happen on your terms.
Dont worry, Aquarius, because things are happening!
Time to reconfigure that mindset.
The universe is feeling mad love towards you this year.
Break from this pattern of behavior and watch your returns grow more than you imagined.
Pisces (February 19th to March 20th): Turn that dreamer mind into the manifestation station.
Many of you are feeling heavy effects from this retrograde since its happening in your sign.
If you cant explain the weird energy youre experiencing at the moment, Mercury is happy to show you.
Youve also had revelations about how you want to appear to those around you.
Truthfully, you probably havent sat with those emotions (good and bad).
This stagnant energy can cause you to withdraw or get moody.
Need not worry, however.
You actually need this.
Remind yourself to also not get too comfortable.
Youve worked so hard that you may not realize how much you deserve the abundance coming your way.
Dont sell yourself short on any decision during this retrograde.
Happiness is coming to you if youll just see how worthy of it you really are.
