Sounds exciting, but what does it mean for us? Well, basically it's time for tough love and triple checking. No biggie then.

Ring of truth

On May 23, Saturn, the planet of rules and regulations goes retrograde and shimmies its way into the no-nonsense sign of Aquarius.

Its backwards journey lasts until October 10 during which time Saturn will ask us to take a long, hard look at whether the rules we're operating under still serve us.

Saturn’s tough-love approach teaches us how to be more responsible and both morally and financially. Yes, Leo we know those Gucci sandals look gorge on you but do you really need them?

The ringed planet in retrograde can make us feel a bit overwhelmed, but once we've done the work, we'll feel better for it.

Merc it, girl

On May 29, planet of communication Mercury goes backwards.

What this means for us is computer packing up, unexplained credit card bills and horror of all horrors…texts sent to the wrong person.

As this retrograde is in the sign of Chatty McChatterson Gemini you really need to triple check everything you send.

What do the retrogrades mean for your sign?

Aries

Are you selling yourself short at work, Aries?

Mercury and Saturn are asking you to step up to the plate and be all that you can be.

Taurus

You could be undergoing a big shift this retrograde season, Taurus.

Have you become a bit too stuck in your ways sitting on that sofa? Ask yourself what you need to do to expand your world.

Gemini

Have you uncharacteristically taken a back seat in your life, Gemini?

It's high time you got back in the driver's seat and the movement of these power planets can help with this.

Cancer

If some of the relationships in your life aren't giving you what you need, think about what needs to change.

It could be something as simple as communicating more. Don't beat around the bush, say what you feel.

Leo

If you're exhausted at the end of every day ask yourself what for Leo.

It's good to work hard but only when you're getting real benefit out of it.

Virgo

The retrograde is asking you to loosen up a little Virgo.

You don't have to go full-on Leo, but just make sure it's not all work and no play.

Libra

Have a look at your home life Libra and ask yourself if anything can be improved.

This can be about relocating, but it can also be about simply feeling more comfortable wherever you lay your hat.

Scorpio

If you've got something to say, now's the time to say it Scorpio.

Just make sure you're saying it to the right person, this is Mercury retrograde after all.

Sagittarius

If you've been going a bit kray kray with your spending lately, now's the time to reign it in a bit, Sagittarius.

We're not saying don't buy the wedges, just maybe not in every colour.

Capricorn

You're likely to be all up in your feelings this retrograde, Capricorn.

Take stock of where you are and if you like what you see great and if there's to be done that's ok too.

Aquarius

Pay attention to your dreams this retrograde season, Aquarius.

No dream is a coincidence, they're always trying to highlight something we're not able to see in the real world.

Pisces

You could be stepping into you power now, Pisces.

If anything or more importantly anyone has been holding you back, it's time to say buh-bye, babe.
