Scorpio - The intensity for you has to do with your daily routine, roommates, neighbours, and/or siblings

Aries
So many changes are happening in your life that you can hardly clear your head. The circumstances concerning your home, family, and your life direction are altering and each affects the other. It is complicated indeed, but you will find your footing soon, beginning with life direction.
Taurus
You are exploring new options to expand your life direction. Challenges to finding what you need can be found in an unconscious desire to live in an alternative lifestyle to the norm. So you will need to work with a therapist or other helping soul to find that inner rebel.
Gemini
Your attention has been focused on matters of shared resources. These can include time, things of material value, energy, investments and sexuality. The territory is wide, ranging from the mundane study of the budget all the way to important discussions with partners over the need for greater intimacy.
Cancer
You may be tap dancing to suit your partner’s whims during this period. Restlessness is in the air. Maybe it is your own, though Cancerians often don’t recognise the need for change. It is generally a good time to discuss relationship issues with partners and close associates.
Leo
The months of December and January have generally disorganised all your systems of maintenance. Daily work continues to shift, including the people with whom you do business. You may be adapting to new equipment or new high tech gear. Your physical and emotional health might have been an issue, but will soon improve.
Virgo
This Mercury retrograde has stirred up relationships to children and/or lovers. You have a need to be creative, but small issues keep interfering, i.e. inability to find needed items, or time constraints. If you have children, their schedule requirements may be challenging. You could be thinking about taking a break from a lover. See how things feel next week before you decide.
Libra
Home and family matters are hanging like helium balloons on the ceiling. You are normally fond of quietude and peace. However, during this period people have been coming and going far beyond the norm. You might even be in the midst of moving your household or reorganising it. You’ve been unclear about how you really choose to live.
Scorpio
The intensity for you has to do with your daily routine, roommates, neighbours, and/or siblings. Problems could evolve with any of these relationships. Your work requirements could be interfering or altering the usual situation. Vehicle difficulties may have put you in the position of bouncing from place to place in unusual ways. Have faith. This will be over soon.
Sagittarius
You have a fairly good idea of the direction in which you want to go. However, financing the new start may have been a problem. So you could be deciding what you can sell to access the necessary cash. This may be a period in which you cobble together two or more jobs to keep you afloat for the more important change to come.
Capricorn
Your sign has been the place for all the action, or maybe it is inaction, while Mercury retrogrades through it. It is possible that the situation has afflicted your health in some way, but that will be better soon. Home and family circumstances may have suddenly changed, causing you to alter previously made plans. In a couple of weeks the circus will settle.
Aquarius
You may have been in conflict over whether to stop or go forward. Under these planetary circumstances it has been best to remain still while all the competing thoughts settle themselves in the back of your mind. It is unfortunate that you have felt compelled to brood over things that you cannot control.
Try to let go.
Pisces
You may have been bothered by an old grudge, which has kept you from participating in one or more group situations. These things have a way of surfacing when Mercury is retrograde, particularly when it interacts with intense planets. This is one more opportunity to fix your psyche. It is well known that the grudge hurts no one but you.
