We're in the last stretch of Mercury retrograde at the moment so our anxieties may be at an all time high, but things are never quite as bad as they seem. It's probably not the time to start anything new, but there's no reason why you should put your current projects on hold - unless of course things haven't been working out as they should.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Six of Pentacles (Reversed)
Something is out of balance in your life when it comes to giving and receiving. You're either giving too much and receiving little in return, or you're expecting too much from people without the proper payment. Or, perhaps you find yourself giving not out of generosity, but a desire to be liked and appreciated. It's time to reassess this balance.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Five of Swords
Winning an argument doesn't always mean you come out victorious. You may have lost close friends or family members through your determination to argue your point, and even if it's warranted you should be careful of getting too over-confident. Always stay humble and try to be diplomatic when it comes to conflict.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
King of Pentacles
You really know exactly what you're doing right now, Gemini. You're oozing confidence and you're so hard-working that people are looking up to you perhaps more so than usual. Your humble attitude and generous nature will gain you a lot of friends, but be careful not to let other people's opinions of you determine your worth.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Six of Cups (Reversed)
Sad memories are coming back to haunt you no matter how hard you try to forget about them. It's time to make peace with the past and that which can never be changed or reclaimed. Reflect but don't dwell, and look ahead to the bright future and positive memories you are yet to make.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Five of Cups (Reversed)
If you've recently suffered a personal setback, now might be the time to let go of your ego and ask for help. Not every personal endeavour should be undertaken on one's own and there are people who are willing to support you no matter what the problem is.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Nine of Swords (Reversed)
Any anxiety or worry that you have experienced seems to be spiralling towards despair. You are gripped by fear and constantly engaging in negative self-talk, despite the fact that things aren't nearly as bad as they seem. You have so much potential, but your needless worries are preventing you from moving forward.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Page of Swords (Reversed)
Be careful of letting ambition run away with you. Your plans are exciting, but don't be too hasty and don't make commitments that are impossible to honour. On the other hand, don't be afraid to shout about your new ideas from the rooftops; you've got a long way to go but there's no time like the present to embark on a new venture.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
The Moon
It's starting to become clear to you that things are not always as they seem. These feelings of uncertainty are bringing back negative past emotions, so it's time to take some time out for introspection; allow yourself to gain some clarity on your situation and move towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
The Fool
Wonderful new opportunities present themselves to you this week Sagittarius, and while you may not know which direction you are taking, now is the perfect time to take a leap of faith and see where it gets you. Trust your instincts and let spontaneity and childish curiosity overtake you.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
The Empress
Any ideas that you have been nurturing recently are finally coming to fruition. The Empress is a card of fertility, and while that can mean a literal birth, it also refers to the birth of new plans. Have the patience and the compassion to build on these plans and enjoy the process.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Wheel of Fortune
Whatever you give out to the world will come right back to you, Aquarius, that's just the cycle of life. If you have been spreading compassion and love, be ready for your fortunes to increase. If you are finding yourself becoming mean-spirited and selfish, know that your luck cannot be improved with this attitude.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Four of Wands
You've either already reached or you're about to reach an important personal milestone so congratulations! Enjoy these small accomplishments even when you know you have a lot more work to do and take time to give thanks for how far you have come already.
