Mercury will retrograde in your sign for about three weeks, so be sure to get your ducks in a row and choose your words wisely. If the past comes knocking, use this time to address unresolved issues with a clear mind.</p><p>Patience and keeping an open mind contribute to smoother interactions and resolutions. If you’ve been seeking closure, now is the time to confront lingering matters head-on.</p><h2>Taurus Zodiac Signs (April 20 - May 20)</h2><p>No more putting things off, Taurus. Thanks to Mercury retrograde, your healing and personal growth will be brought to the forefront during the next three weeks or so. This is a time to go within to explore hidden emotions and confront past triggers that no longer serve you.</p><p>The key is to trust your instincts throughout this introspective period. Consider this an opportunity to address unresolved matters with clarity and determination.</p><h2>Gemini Zodiac Signs (May 20 - June 21)</h2><p>There's no escaping the retrograde effects when <a href="https://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/gemini-ruling-planet">Mercury is your planetary ruler, Gemini</a>. The first retrograde of 2024 is bringing emphasis to your social circles and visions of the future. Be mindful of your approach when communicating with your peers, and try to steer away from making assumptions, as you are more prone to experiencing petty misunderstandings.</p><p>On a brighter note, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with old friends... but again, if unresolved issues resurface, tread lightly or consider strengthening your bond.</p><h2>Cancer Zodiac Signs (June 21 - July 22)</h2><p>Humility is essential in conversations with your superiors, Cancer. Taking the lead requires patience and discipline, which is where Mercury retrograde comes into play. This transit is putting a spotlight on everything from your career ventures to your sense of authority, so it's important to be mindful of the commitments and promises you make in both your personal and professional life.</p><p>Otherwise, this could be a great time to revisit projects put on the back burner or even reassess your long-term goals.</p><div class="sWr J8p lw9 R6j Ugt"><figure class="Qf5 s1I"><div class="pxF heF mvL s-519117789"><style>.s-519117789{padding-top:66.5775%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-519117789{padding-top:66.7151%}}@media(min-width:1025px){.s-519117789{padding-top:66.6667%}}</style><noscript><picture><source media="(min-width:1025px)" srcset="https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=1320&h=880&fit=crop&crop=faces, https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=1320&h=880&fit=crop&crop=faces&dpr=2 2x"/><source media="(min-width:768px)" srcset="https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=688&h=459&fit=crop&crop=faces, https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=688&h=459&fit=crop&crop=faces&dpr=2 2x"/><source srcset="https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=374&h=249&fit=crop&crop=faces, https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=374&h=249&fit=crop&crop=faces&dpr=2 2x"/><img alt="Young woman smiling during Mercury retrograde spring 2024." src="https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2024/3/21/fc1da94c-aa83-427e-a075-79d70a5af5ac-gettyimages-1824153890.jpg?w=374&h=249&fit=crop&crop=faces&dpr=2" class="N4z"/></picture></noscript></div><figcaption class="rv9 SJc"><span class="Afu gh3"><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/portrait-of-smiling-teenage-girl-with-head-cocked-royalty-free-image/1824153890">Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images</a></span></figcaption></figure></div><h2>Leo Zodiac Signs (July 22 - Aug. 23)</h2><p>Your outlook is a reflection of your experiences, Leo.
