Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 6/29-7/24
Rising sign Do’s and Don’ts
ARIES rising: DO review your systems around the house. What is working, what needs to change. Look at how your early childhood shaped your present. Reconnect with family and your roots. DON’T make major changes, sign contracts related to home improvement or remodeling. No redecorating.
TA**US rising: DO review and reflect on if your local community supports your needs. Reflect on how at times your communication can be improved for better efficacy. DON’T relocate, form new alliances within the community or pop off without doing your research first.
GEMINI rising: DO look to see how your budget supports your needs, where there may be leaks or holes. Research credit consolidation. DON’T make major purchases, overspend or change banks or sign any contracts related to financial matters.
CANCER rising: DO reflect on how others perceive you, but not to the point of neuroticism. Focus on your physical health and what habits support your overall wellness. Need a new style? Experiment but don’t commit to anything you can’t undo. DON’T make changes to your physical appearance, schedule that haircut or tattoo appointment, try that new viral makeup trend, revamp your wardrobe unless you’re thrifting or renting the clothes.
LEO rising: DO reflect on your self limiting beliefs, how you self sabotage, how you hold yourself back. Write down your dreams, your downloads. DON’T give into melancholy or melodrama. Develop a daily grounding or meditation practice.
VIRGO rising: DO maintain your existing social structures and friendships, show up in your network. DON’T overextend yourself, or over-give. Avoid new connections with a polite, “can we table this for later?”.
LIBRA rising: DO reflect on your career path. Is it supportive of your needs? Is it emotionally fulfilling as well as financially supportive of your goals and lifestyle? DON’T quit your job, take a new position, hire new employees or fire anyone. Do not sign contracts related to your career.
SCORPIO rising: DO explore other cultures, belief systems and higher education. Do your current belief systems support you emotionally? Do they need an overhaul? Have you locked yourself in a box of rigid beliefs? Look to where your beliefs are holding you back. DON’T book a trip or a cooking class for some exotic cuisine. Instead, research and plan.
SAGITTARIUS rising: DO review any areas of shared resources. Focus on shadow work, boundaries. What is you vs the other. What belongs to you, vs what belongs to the other. DON’T make major financial decisions, open a new line of credit or be reckless with other peoples resources.
CAPRICORN rising: DO reflect on and review your 1:1 connections and partnerships. Are they supportive of your needs or are you carrying the bulk of the load for your group projects and connections? DON’T quit your job or your relationship. Or tell your lazy coworker to f**k off, make suggestions to your boss or ask for a raise.
AQUARIUS rising: DO reflect on your daily life, health habits and routines and look to see what is holding you back. Is it your diet? When was the last time you scheduled a check up? Figure out one thing you are doing daily that is actually harming you instead of nurturing and supporting your growth. DON’T fall into overthinking, melancholy or depression. Your anxiety is lying to you, so focus on grounding and practical solutions.
PISCES rising: DO review and reflect on what you do for fun and enjoyment. Revisit old hobbies, reconnect with your romantic partner in unexpected ways. DON’T contact your old lovers/ex’s.
Retrograde specific readings are available now through 6/25. DM to schedule.
