This week, retrograde Mercury in Aries brings a shift in energy that may cause disruptions in communication, thinking, travel, and technology. It’s a time to slow down, be cautious with your words, and carefully review your plans before taking action.
It’s not advisable to start new projects or make announcements if you can help it. However, it is an opportune time to make adjustments and/or to complete existing projects. Over the next three weeks, use the Aries energy constructively by channeling it towards knocking out your to-do list!
People and situations from the past may re-surface, (hello April Fool’s Day!) or you may find an all too familiar theme comes back around (same scenario, different actors). Initially, it may trigger your emotions, but take a deep breath. Pause and consider what your initial reaction is telling you about yourself. This is a profound opportunity for self-reflection and healing.
Remember, people are going to do what they are going to do. Therefore, it is our responsibility to address our own internal wounds so that we are not continuously impacted by others words and actions. Change your own internal dialogue and you will change the entire game.
On the flip-side, a second chance at a previously missed opportunity may come back around. Keep an open mind, but don’t commit or sign anything until after April 25th if at all possible.
The tarot card I pulled for you all is The Tower:
The next three weeks is a major turning point for you! While I do not recommend implementing major life changes during Mercury retrograde, you can use this time to reflect on where you are ready to make some positive, transformative changes. Particularly, if a situation is not as stable as you prefer, you may find you are ready to invest your time and energy into something more solid. Others of you may decide to scrap a design, project or idea completely, and start over in May.
Lastly, The Tower can reflect a sudden insight that leads to a profound breakthrough in one’s conscious awareness. Consider it a “cosmic road opener” that sets you free from self-limiting beliefs or patterns that have been impeding your success.
Have a great week!
