After the last retrograde, life should be easier and settling down for most signs. The next few weeks will be a good period for rest and reflection. We'd do better to stick with a routine now. Structure and follow through could free up the upcoming months for sun bathing and fun. Take each day as it comes though and don't plan too far ahead. Stay upbeat and on target with goals. Take pleasure in the simpler activities like a casual get-together with friends. Water and Earth signs should be out and about, while Air and Fire might do better staying close to their home.
