According to Neda, an astrologer at the dating app Flirtini, mercury retrograde will be causing mayhem until December 15.

"Gemini and Virgo will be particularly sensitive to mercury retrograde," Need cautioned. Geminis might experience recurrent miscommunications while Virgos could feel anxious about their romantic life.

Sagittarius, on the other hand, are advised to be mindful of a new sparky connection. "Slow down and ensure your words and actions align with your intentions," advised Neda, as Sagittarius could be too quick to overpromise on commitments they can't deliver.

Then poor Pisces could experience "heightened emotional confusion", especially if a past lover appears - "tread carefully", Neda cautioned, if they do.

"Don’t become swept up in romantic fantasies before considering whether the relationship has real potential."

Other zodiac signs are not exempt from the fate of mercury retrograde as Taurus and Capricorns feel frustrated by delays or disruptions to their dating lives.

"Use this time to focus on building emotional connections rather than rushing physical or material progress in relationships," Neda recommended.

As for Libras, indecision over your romantic partner could surface and Aquarius may feel challenged by emotional conversations.

"Stay receptive to compromise and deeper connections," Neda recommended for the air signs. To help move along mercury retrograde in the best possible way, Neda has some advice for all the zodiac star signs.

"Avoid making assumptions," Neda said as misunderstandings could lead to heated discussions. "This is a period for revisiting and clarifying — not for rushing into new commitments or making hasty romantic decisions."

Neda added: "Pitfalls include jumping to conclusions, rushing into commitments, and misreading intentions.

"Additionally, plans for dates, travel, or meetings will face unexpected delays or complications. Patience is essential."

Being mindful of how you communicate can help to minimise the risk of unnecessary mixed wires.
