Ellie Goulding
Your goal during this retrograde is to be less serious. For such a productive-obsessed sign, you need to take it easy. Rose-gold is less heated than gold—it's still neutral enough that you'll be drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It's glamorous, elegant, feminine and playful. Practice speaking from the heart, think less about what you've done and more about who you can connect with—who, not what.
Capricorn

White represents success, cleanliness, purity and clear intention. This month, wearing white will help you get clear about your intentions, which will make earning money easier than ever. Sure, Mercury is retrograde, but it's not affecting you as much as it is everyone else. However, your planet Mars (energy and drive) is also retrograde, so while you're still able to think clearly, you might not see as much momentum as you'd like. Be patient, in time things will shift. This retrograde period is more about recalibrating your energy to see where you've missed the mark—wearing white gifts you clarity to make the right financial choices.
