If you’re thinking that Mercury retrograde on April 1 is nothing more than an April Fool’s joke, you’ll be surprised to know that it’s actually going to happen. Mercury, the planet of communication, intelligence and logic, is going to turn retrograde on April 1 and will remain in this position till April 24. The last retrograde cycle ended on January 1 and there is potential for even more disorientation and deep emotions during this cycle. This occurs during the eclipse period (25 March to 8 April).
What to expect from Mercury retrograde in Aries?
The current mix of energies is as follows – Mercury retrograde starting on April 1, Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 25, and Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 8. Everything will feel exceptionally intense, electric and supersonic, with a bit of pull and push. Take the time to understand what’s on your plate and think quickly. Consider the things that lift you up and move toward them with confidence.
Here are some tips that will ensure that by the time this is all over, we will come out with our sanity intact:
worth doing
This is a good time for you to contact old friends and restart incomplete projects. This is an ideal time to journal, reflect, meditate, and rediscover yourself. With Eclipse Portal, this time is also helpful in improving these persistent habits. This is an excellent time to discover self-love. You may have experienced hurt, rejection, disappointment, or disappointing situations in the past. This time will help you make peace with yourself, if you take advantage of the opportunity. Mercury is the planet of communication and networking. Maintaining gentleness in your conversations and communicating with clarity can be beneficial during this time. Write all communications clearly but diplomatically, especially in email. It would be beneficial to keep a close eye on your finances. The aim is to invest your money in a place where there will be long term returns. Overspending when emotional may be temporarily satisfying, but limit your use of credit cards until May. Save that document at work, knowing that your phone may not work when you need it most, expect your digital wallet to work, and be prepared for it to take longer than usual for your refund. Otherwise, technology can be your biggest helper, but it is owned by Mercury during this period.
what not to do
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and ruled by Mars, may create from a position of ego but it will not provide high rewards. There’s a fine line between knowing your worth and being blinded by misconceptions about yourself. Avoid getting angry, road rage, aggression, and other forms of self-expression that you may regret five minutes later. Remember that everyone is going through this process in their own way, whether they are aware of it or not. Kindness never hurts anyone. Life-changing decisions in love may have to wait to be made, as well as contracts you want to sign. Remember that the energies of the eclipse make this metamorphosis more powerful and holding your horses may be the best move. Re-review your travel plans and, if possible, postpone them. If not, expect delays and rescheduling to unsettle you. Be prepared for the possibility of your ex-boyfriends contacting you and expect situations to be 10 times more intense. This is not to scare you; It’s just a reminder that you have the power to be different as you wish. 11.People are likely to be highly sensitive and the universe is working on its own particular timing, so be careful with your words, especially if you want to keep the relationship or the person after all this is over. On the other hand, if you want to separate from something or someone, observe, feel, and clear away the clutter, but remember to make any life-changing decisions only after the dust has settled.
