Daily horoscope forecast: How people born on THESE DATES face an emotional period
THIS month's astrological transit of Mercury in retrograde motion sets the stage for intense and emotional upheaval. Find out if you are one of the few people who bear the brunt of this transit.
Astrology: The history behind the ancient movement
Mercury’s retrograde transit is a nebulous and fantastical time, flavoured by the zodiac of Pisces and the water house of elements. But the transit ends today (Thursday, March 28) as the innermost planet of the solar system resumes direct motion. Each year, the scorching planet goes retrograde across the heavens, shifting with it the cosmic balance of energies. When Mercury enters retrograde motion, the planet appears to move backwards for a few weeks at a time.
Astrologer Julian Venables of LondonAstrologer.com argued the exact effect this will have on you is tied to the house Mercury travels through.
When Mercury transited through the fire house last year, decision making was more spontaneous and energetic.
Now, you are much more likely to put more thought into your actions past and present.
Mr Venables said: “There’s a lot more of quiet inner work going on for people. Channels open up for expression in a different way.”

Mr Venables said: “These are the ones that are really getting this.”
Together with the influence of Neptune, people born on these specific dates face a very dreamy and imaginative setting.
What this means, is you might be faced with conflicting information or confusion on all sides.
Mr Venables said Neptune is also the dissolver of boundaries, which might tear down any illusions or disillusions you currently face.

The astrologer said: “People generally might be feeling a lot more confusion, nebulousness and the power of the retrograde is saying slow down.
“The key to a Mercury retrograde is that we all are doing things to fast, so the lesson learned from Mercury retrograde, is slow down a bit.”
This should give you a little bit more room to breathe, to think things over and to review your thoughts and actions.
And because Mercury is in the water element, your emotions and intuitions are the most likely to be reviewed.
Mercury retrograde will then return on the following dates:
1. February 18 to March 9, 2020
2. June 17 to July 12, 2020
3. October 13 to November 3, 2020
4. January 30 to February 20, 2021
