Fixed signs hate deviating from what they're used to, but eclipses are about change. The only thing constant in life is change, so let it run its course.

Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Saturn Conjunction in Capricorn April 30, 2022
Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Saturn Conjunction in Capricorn
What does it mean?
This is a big deal and will be setting the stage for what happens through the rest of 2022. A lot is going on here. The conjunction between Mercury and Mars in particular is very significant because this combination can manifest as explosive energy and very blunt, direct communication. It also has the potential to be very destructive if we're not careful with it. You may notice that your mind is moving faster than usual but also you may feel very impatient in general... as well as being more impulsive than normal.

While that is a total bummer, Venus and Saturn Conjunction comes with some good. This is where you get the drive to focus and push through with building something. Be it physical or just making plans for a project, there is a feeling of not letting bad things ruin what you want to achieve.
Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn April 29, 2022
Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn on April 29, and we can all feel the effects of this transit. To be honest, you shouldn’t place too much emphasis on this period—we have far more important things to worry about (like Brexit!) However, if you must know, this is what Pluto retrograde in Capricorn means for your sign.
Aries

Taurus
Taurus will use this period as an opportunity to recharge before beginning a new project. Take time for self-care and make all your meals at home! It may seem tempting to go out with friends more than usual but you must ground yourself before you leave the house again.
Gemini
Gemini will grow closer to those close to them during Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. This could mean a new relationship or just be more open with your loved ones! Make sure you communicate clearly during this time so others know how you’re feeling and thinking!
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini from May 10 to June 2, 2022
As you may know, Mercury retrogrades only happen once every four months. This time, Mercury will be spending its retrograde period in Gemini and thus the most affected signs will be:
Taurus
A Mercury Retrograde in Gemini is a fantastic time to take a relaxing vacation, so you should plan to do that. You're going to need it after all of the unnecessary, dramatic arguments you'll be having with people while Mercury is in retrograde.
Cancer
During this Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, your intuition will be really strong and astute, but you won't be able to do anything with it because you'll forget everything almost immediately after it occurs to you. So... good luck!
Leo
You'll have a lot of fun during this retrograde if you let yourself go and do not overthink everything. If you start overthinking things that could have been fixed simply by putting them out of your mind, which will lead to some major meltdowns on your part. It's important for you to learn how not to overthink simple things during this retrograde, so I suggest taking time out for yourself.
Virgo
You're going to experience skepticism as an extreme emotion during this Mercury Retrograde in Gemini. This means that every piece of advice or suggestion someone gives you will cause major doubt in your mind until it gets so big that you start doubting your own thoughts too—which I'm sure is why my advice here won't help at all and just make things worse for some reason.
Let the Universe Guide You...or not!
Astrology can reveal hidden truths about your soul and its path to happiness, but what about the world outside you?

The choice is always in your hands.
