There may be a reason why we're all feeling a little bit off this week. If, like us, you're also feeling out of sorts, more tired than usual, and not yourself then an astrologist has confirmed why.
Mercury is in retrograde... yes, again.
The astrological phenomenon is known to make our lives feel a little more chaotic than usual, whether you actually believe in it or not is another thing, but it could be to blame for this week's weird feelings.
And sadly, this Mercury in retrograde is expected to last until August 27th.
Expert astrologer Inbaal Honigman explained the impact this will have on our lives and moods.
She told Taratoo: "In actual fact, planets can only ever travel forward, along their orbit, but because our planet Earth moves, too, sometimes planets appear as if they're going backward.
"When a planet is retrograde, we view it as bringing challenges within the realm of that particular planet, and also potentially dragging the past into the present."
Bad news if you're a Virgo, Gemini, or Leo because you'll likely be impacted the most this month.
Honigman explained: "This August, Mercury reverses first through meticulous Virgo and then through proud Leo, therefore Gemini can find themselves doubly hit."
Justice for Leos. It is our birthday month after all.

I’m a 35-year-old in HR, earning €26k, and this was my biggest financial mistake Let’s be honest, most of us are at least a little bit nosy when it comes to money. We want to know what other people are earning, how they’re actually getting by, and what their spending really looks like (not the […]
