Horoscopes

From February 16th to March 19th this year, Mercury will appear to be going backward in the sky. Modern science tells us that this is because of the speed of its orbit relative to Earth’s, and ancient methods and traditions have shown us that this type of planetary movement causes a variety of changes in humans. During the retrograde there are often breakdowns in communication resulting in anything from a delayed train to a heartbreak. This means that over the next month we all need to be patient and understanding with one another. To counterbalance the sensitivity we will be feeling during the retrograde, we need to be honest and true with ourselves and our loved ones. It is not openness that makes us vulnerable, but fear. Luckily for us, the retrograde presents an excellent opportunity for us to grow. We should take the time this month to learn to become better communicators, a skill which will ultimately strengthen our most valuable relationships.
