Communicating with the people you love will be difficult this Mercury retrograde. If you don't want to lose your connection with them, go beyond social media, texting or emailing. It's important that you spend quality time with them. And after all, summer is always a good time to reunite with old friends!

Oh, and negotiations during this period will be waaay off, so triple check all contracts and agreements. (Do the same before sending any emails!)

Darling, buckle up your seatbelts because your rollercoaster ride is about to start. As a fixed sign, you will definitely not enjoy the ups and downs that will come your way, but who are we kidding? You're a fierce one and you'll be resourceful enough to face each curve. It's a time to test your endurance, so hold on tight!

Your spontaneous spirit will be put on hold multiple times during this period as the Mercury retrograde messes with your travel plans — so be ready to make alternative routes this summer.

People or issues from previous experiences may also turn up. This time, you'll have a better point of view and understand them better. This will let you resolve things you can't let go.

Feeling burnt out? The Mercury retrograde might be making it worse. When progress seems to stop, never forget that you can always press reset. This season is also known to be the best time to renew, revamp and redecorate, (and other words with the prefix "re"). Sometimes, going forward means to go backward.

It's a good time to check on your physical and mental health too!

Feeling exhausted lately? Vibe seems off? That's just Mercury in retrograde messing you. If you're working on improving your self, growing and stepping out of your comfort zone, it might not feel successful during this period — instead, you may instead feel stagnant; like nothing is working out. Just remember that it'll pass, and don't let it wear you down.
