Read your horoscope for Mercury in Aries
Bold communication
When Mercury zips into Aries from March 9th to May 15th, it wastes no time getting to the point — especially after wading through the impressionistic, meandering energy of Pisces. Here, Mercury prefers language that’s clear, sharp, and crackling with energy. This isn’t the time to waver, make endless pros-and-cons lists, or get carried away by a daydream. If something is on your mind, share it. If it feels too spicy for an audience, write it down, record a voice note, or draft an email you won’t send. Be bold — even a little brash. Give yourself the permission you’re waiting on from others.
Mercury retrograde
While Mercury is in Aries, it will station retrograde on April 1st. This backtrack will slow down Mercury’s mile-a-minute tempo in Aries, which will give us more time to reflect and review before acting. However, during this time, it can be even easier to breeze past important details. So double-check everything, save your drafts before sending them, and pause long enough to catch your breath.
As usual, practice good retrograde hygiene: back up your technology, save big purchases and impulse haircuts for another time, and give yourself grace if you mix up deadlines. Retrogrades get a bad rap, but they are also wonderful review periods that help us sift through old papers, reorganize our desks, and return to what we’ve forgotten — whether that’s an old hobby or a text left on read. Let this time be an invitation to reclaim your courage and lead with what’s on your mind.
