SUNDAY

The good news is that Mercury retrograde finally comes to an end today. The not-so-great news is that there’s probably much cleanup to do, after the messiness of the past few weeks. Relationships might be on edge, and there might be some difficult feelings to sort out. Fairness and reciprocity will be sore spots. Meanwhile, as the start of the week looms, it might be tough to fend off the “Sunday scaries” with the reality of our responsibilities catching up to us. Spending time in emotionally nourishing spaces and putting our self-care tools to work will help alleviate the pressure.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Do your best to honour your commitments today. Show up for others. You’ll be proud of yourself for all the good you do.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Avoid making assumptions about something or someone. Take time to ask questions and get clarification.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Try not to get pulled in into unnecessary buy-now, pay-later agreements. Stick to what’s affordable.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Don’t let anyone undermine your confidence. Keep believing in yourself.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Before you dive into your list of responsibilities, take some time to rest and tend to your self-care. It will give you the energy you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Being your genuine self is the key to your happiness today. Being around the folks that know and understand you can also be uplifting.

If you want to be of help to others, start by taking care of yourself and your priorities first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You need to get out of your head for a bit. Talk to a friend or watch a film that gives you some feel-good energy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Save your money. Work out a budget or financial plan you can stick with. Too, consider negotiating for higher pay.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

As much as you might want to, you’re not able to do everything. Let someone else step in to help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

If you have lots to do and you don’t know where to start, pick one thing you can do right now and begin there. Keep it simple.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Try not to get worked up about the future. Stay grounded in the present. Receiving helpful advice from someone you know can be comforting.
