The dreaded retrograde Mercury has returned: The affected

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)
“ As an opposite sign, it receives the attention focused on partnerships, marriage and societies. Misresolved conversations may arise and agreements may need revision.”
Carneiro (March 21 to April 20)
“ It forms an alignment with Crab, so the house, family and roots come into focus. Home affairs and issues of the past ask for a new look.”
Balance (September 23 to October 22)
“ It is worth reviewing professional directions before wanting to end everything.”
And how does it affect the other signs?
According to the Panorama website, all signs will eventually have some consequences. Know everything.
Lion and Sagittarius
“ Fire signs may feel an unexpected need to slow down and focus on family matters. Important conversations with loved ones can arise, or memories can come out, which helps to better understand certain past decisions. The key will be to act less impulsively and listen more.”
Bull and Virgin
“ For earth signs, retrograde Mercury in Crab favors reflection on projects, close relationships and communication styles. You may find that some words need more sensitivity and less rigidity. Take this opportunity to reorganize your ideas and strengthen important ties.”
Twins and Aquarius
“ Air signs can experience changes related to self-esteem, personal values or resource management. This movement invites you to reflect on what gives you true emotional security and what aspects no longer align with your current growth.”
Scorpion and Fish
“ Water signs will feel this energy with particular intensity. Deep emotions, revealing dreams or situations that cause them to close unfinished matters may arise. Although some conversations may be uncomfortable, they may also become opportunities for healing and clarity.”
And when are you back after this cycle?

Use this period to examine deeply what needs to be transformed into your life, especially as regards the past. Beware of ‘poison’ in communication even if it is not your intention and not to appear to be imposing something.
