Mercury Retrograde in Aries- Blunt Truths, The Power of Thy Word, Re-Ignition of Energy + Purpose

Mercury Retrograde in Aries- Blunt Truths, The Power of Thy Word, Re-Ignition of Energy + Purpose
On March 15th, Mercury, the planet of the mind, communication and contracts, turns retrograde at 9 degrees of Aries. Mercury will travel all the way back to Pisces before turning direct on April 7th. Aries, the 1st zodiac sign, deals with initiation, leadership, self driven ideals and fiery willpower. 

Get ready as we will have 2 inner planets ( Mercury and Venus) retrograde at the same time! These retrograde planets will bring back all kinds of past events, people and situations into our lives. Reflection, revision and redefinition around our mind, communication, love, money and values are all big themes at this time. 

Mercury retrograde in Aries is here to offer plenty of redirection and revisions around how we view our sense of self and our willpower to get things done. This is a good time to examine current projects and plans and see if they still align with our sense of purpose and power. If they don't or if they don't fully align with your values and principles, they could end now. Also, if your energy levels were down or just blah, this Mercury retrograde could be a time to discover new ways to ignite your sense of passion and excitement. 

As with all Mercury retrogrades, past people and situations could appear without warning. We will have to watch how and what we communicate with others. Aries is known to be a no BS direct sign. While honesty is always good, some of our words could be rather blunt and forceful. Tact is not an Aries trait. Being extra mindful of the tone and context of our words will be super important. This is a great time to go back and reinvent ourselves, especially around any business or personal projects. If you started a project or business in the past but it never took off or if it just wasn't the right time, this is the period where you could reinvent and reinspire yourself to give it another go. 

For those with their Ascendant, Sun or Moon signs on or close to 9 degrees of Aries or the other Cardinal signs of: Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, expect to see the most shifts and changes. Past people, situations and occurrences could be the norm for you now. Big renovations and revisions in the key areas of your life such as your physical health, home/family, relationships and work are sure to happen at this time. For everyone else, check where 9 degrees of Aries falls in your natal chart to see where these communication revisions and redirections will be happening for you. 

Mercury retrograde in Aries is here to bring forth lots of past situations and occurrences around our self worth + self efforts back into examination. We will be asked during this time to reexamine what truly supports our own vision of success. We might have to let go of any outdated ways of thinking if they aren't aligned with our true purpose and sense of inner satisfaction. The lower vibration of this Mercury retrograde in Aries will be selfish tendencies and being extra bossy and stubborn. The higher vibration of this Mercury retrograde in Aries will be about standing up for what we truly desire and want and getting back in touch with our sense of willpower + ability to fight for what we truly deserve. This Mercury retrograde in the sign of the ram is here to ignite a fire back in our spirit, reexamine what or who really fulfills us in life and redirect our motivations around speaking the truth and nothing but the truth.
