Is Mercury Retrograde zapping you? It started this week (September 24, 2008) and goes through October 14, 2008. So be prepared for some chaos in communications as pesky Mercury backtracks through Libra over the next three weeks.

During this time, look for communications and paperwork involving legalities, business partnerships, marriage contracts, negotiations and mediation to be especially affected. Needless to say, it's a good idea to double-check your plans and read contracts thoroughly before signing them. On the other hand, it encourages resolving old issues and completing projects that were placed on hold.

To get a better idea of how this influence is likely to affect you, read your Sun sign and ascendant below.

Libra: Retrograde Mercury in your sign encourages some soul-searching about your personal life. Old desires and regrets (and perhaps a former lover, too) may come back to haunt you now. It's time to make your peace with your choices about romance and marriage - and have the courage to tell your partner what you need in your relationship.

Scorpio: Retrograde Mercury can send you time-traveling into the past. The urge to reminisce about your conquests and failures is your way of coming to terms with your history. It's a great time for introspection, meditation and therapy, which will increase your emotional clarity. And heed your intuition, too, which is especially strong now.

Sagittarius: Discussing your inner life with friends can prompt some startling insights, so do some soul-searching about your dreams and goals. However, more practical communications involving friends, groups and community activities can be sprinkled with mix-ups. Have everything in writing so you'll be covered if a snafu throws your plans off track.

Capricorn: If a long-buried career goal is suddenly reanimated, or a half-completed project suddenly resurfaces, you'll know it's retrograde Mercury at work. Backtracking over old stuff pertaining to your career can help you tie up loose ends so you can move forward. Just watch out for miscommunications with your boss or colleagues.

Aquarius: On the downside, retrograde Mercury can cause misfires in communications and paperwork involving education, foreign travel and faith-based activities. On the positive side, it can awaken your intuition and provide guidance about your future. Also, analyzing and discussing your spiritual beliefs can bring insights that lead to a stronger spiritual life.

Pisces: It's all about sex, death and taxes during retrograde Mercury. On an emotional level, it encourages discussing your sexual needs, resolving blocks to intimacy and exploring your beliefs about the afterlife. On a practical level, however, take care of communications and paperwork involving banks, credit-card companies and the IRS.

Aries: A past relationship issue may raise its head when your significant other brings up something you thought was handled long ago. Take a breath and try to resolve it once and for all. If you have a business partner, watch out for miscommunications that can mess up your projects. And delay the launch of new projects until after Mercury turns direct on October 15.
