Though the sun marches bravely forward into Pisces this week, a renegade Mercury continues to flip-flop in Aquarius. Think twice before making changes in the next couple of weeks.
Aries (March 20-April 18) Life got crazier when Mercury stepped backward into your house of friends. Mean what you say and say what you mean. Then say it again. Misunderstandings can be disastrous.
Taurus (April 19-May 19) Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Dither! Dither! That frightened deer look is so unbecoming. The coulda, shoulda, woulda stuff is just not you. Time now to retrieve a failed project.
Gemini (May 20-June 20) Mercury tickles your travel bone. You long for the exotic stuff like flying the ocean in a silver plane. However, with retrograde Mercury for a tour guide, you'd be wiser to settle for cozy Carmel.
Cancer (June 21-July 21) Rein in that crabby urge to grump while a renegade Mercury rockets through your hormone house. Rightly or wrongly, lovers and other strangers currently hold the reins.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 21) Uh-oh! Did the stamp come off your love letter? Are you two waiting at different restaurants or on the wrong street corners? Are we talking star-crossed? Get it straight and get it right.
Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 21) We're talking R words. Think: Rewrite, replace, restore. If you've done your homework, this will be just a matter of fine tuning. Health questions are also up for review.
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22) Take a deep breath and brace yourself. Expect a fallen romantic scheme or creative project to suddenly develop legs. It's all very exciting but also confusing.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Mercury, currently gone bananas in your root cellar, is an impatient piper demanding payment. Something about a family fence that needs mending. Call home!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Expect to experience the use - or is it misuse - of time spent decision making. Heavyweight introspection may not be your game plan, but doesn't establishing an agenda beat running in circles?
Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 18) You continue to feel a post-birthday high, but a rogue Mercury has set up the Monopoly board in your money house. Though you could receive an unexpected dividend from the past, there'll be a quirky catch to it.
Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 17) Have you heard of Mercury retrograde? Spiritual types believe that it's the cosmos' way of teaching us patience. Others say the communications fairy is out to lunch. Either way, the message is: What's worth doing once is worth doing again and again.
Pisces (Feb. 18-March 19) With wayward Mercury cavorting in your house of drawn shades, you're extremely vulnerable. We all know you're the cosmic saint, but the head that wears the halo has been known to nod off. If you can't be good, be careful.

Q: I'm a sun sign Scorpio with my moon and rising signs both in Virgo. I see that you are predicting some relief for Scorps this coming December. Is there anything I can personally look forward to before then? I have some major choices to make.
A: A Saturn transit isn't all bad. Some responsibilities - such as career advancement, marriage and children - are often highly desired. It's just hard to see the pattern when we're living through it one day at a time. Also, the gains we make during a Saturn transit remain with us for life. Currently, with both Mercury and Jupiter retrograde, there's a "one step forward, two steps back" feel to life. If possible, wait this month out before making important decisions.
