Gemini, May 22–Jun 22

Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
Highlighting the drawbacks of overexposure, this week’s lesson for Leos emphasises less is more. As Leo style icon Coco Chanel famously advised: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Apply this also to your calendar by lightening the load of weighty obligations.

Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
Retrogrades are the zodiac cycles for working with re- words, and Mercury, the communication principal hibernating in your sign, is your personal opportunity to refine the way you express yourself: perhaps using more finesse, enhanced understanding and compassion without blunting your cutting edge.

Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
Your forthright, straightforward Sagittarian style may see some draining relationships hit their use-by date during the current eyes-wide-open cycle. Though that’s not necessarily a bad thing, because what’s not to like about a clean sweep and refreshing change of cast, crew and personnel?

Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
Capricorns like being prepared, so the best use of the current retrogrades would be getting an early start on end-of-year plans.

Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
In view of the current double-trouble Mercury/Venus retrogrades with their elevated capacity for emotional misunderstandings, tentative steps are best. Resist any tendency to obsess over trust issues, which is just not worth the energy expenditure, because definitive answers aren’t likely this week.
