Today (Tuesday, April 14) Mercury–the planet of communication–enters the zodiac sign of Aries, where it will be the next few weeks. Named after the Greek messenger god (and messenger for the gods), Mercury represents our fast-moving thoughts, communication skills, business dealings, and transactions of all sorts. Mercury’s energy is quick, dynamic, discerning, and chatty. Aries (named after the Greek god of war) is associated with quick-moving, fiery energy and fast developments. This April, Aries is unusually busy (with Saturn, Neptune, Mars, and the Sun moving through this sign) which adds extra speed and hecticness to the month. Mercury’s presence can bring insight if we move slowly and think before we speak or act. If you’re familiar with your birth chart, look to the topics of the Aries area of your chart for where in your own life you might want to cultivate Mercury’s insights.
