Libra 24 Sep – 23 Oct
A relationship with a friend or acquaintance is about to go through a tricky patch, as Mercury confuses communication and heightens sensitivities. A dash diplomacy will see you through.

Strive to make changes at work that allow you more freedom to express your Scorpio creativity. But tread carefully with a colleague or acquaintance who is feeling frustrated.
Sagittarius 23 Nov – 21 Dec
Be careful how you pass on information over the next few days, as Mercury is still retro. If you are vague, then you’ll be misunderstood. An unusually cautious approach is the clever way to go.

Taurus 21 Apr – 21 May

Gemini 22 May – 21 Jun
Mercury is reversing through your social networking zone, so double-check all posts, tweets and e-mails before you press send. It will be easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person!
