Learning a new skill or enrolling in some new training sets you apart from the competition. Diplomacy is needed in the workplace, where you may feel enemies around you. Take time for leisure with friends and family. Injuries and accidents can be avoided by careful commuting. Take a break from your worries and enjoy some creative or spiritual pursuits. Take time to turn inward and reflect on your identity and your life. You may feel acutely aware of the injustices of life and society, wanting to help those in need in any way you can. Be compassionate but not irresponsible about money matters. Hold off on making major decisions. Spend time planning and scheduling things that will interest you in days ahead.

Some of your best-laid plans could go sideways starting Saturday as communication planet Mercury turns retrograde for three weeks. The backspin begins in Aries and your house of work, wellness and all things “admin,” then slips back into Pisces and your fifth house of drama and love from March 29 to April 7. A little preventive self-care will spare you from stress-fueled meltdowns. Rejuvenate at the spa, take a 30-day restorative yoga challenge and think about doing a gentle cleanse. Your sign is known to push limits, so use this forced retreat to your advantage. Work on your communication too. How and where do you want to leave your mark? Mercury’s backward journey will give you a chance to revise your PR plan and add some sparkle to your reputation. If you’ve poured your heart out recently, you might feel nakedly exposed on Sunday. Don’t rush to hide behind your private persona just in case you’re facing rejection. People need time to process the experience. You may have to wait a few days for their reaction, but at least you’ve had a genuine effect on them. If you’re meant to have a connection with them, they’ll find their way back to you. And if not, congratulate yourself for being brave and authentic.
