Aries (March 21-April 19) –– 7 –– Mercury went retrograde overnight, prompting mix-ups at work and play. Focus on schedules and instructions. Partnerships are strong now, so get help if needed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) –– 9 –– Things are busy, so watch for disruptions in the flow. Leave extra time for the unexpected. Stay conservative with money, love and risks. Travel later.
