Mercury Enters Aries
Mercury (the planet of communication, information, and expression) has successfully survived its weakest placement while in Pisces (since March 15th), to emerge full of life into Aries as we start a brand new mental game.
Although being in Aries isn't the best placement for Mercury to be in, it's a much better energy than when it was clouded with watery emotions and confusing intuition in the depths of Pisces.
Aries is a fire sign, and full of impulse, spontaneity, bravery and confidence. Mercury being an air sign, mixed with the fire energy can make for quick thinking, bold ideas, and impulsive actions and speech.
Our mental planes have been struggling for some time, so coming online again, especially in such a fiery sign such as Aries, will prove to be both rewarding and challenging. We find the benefits of this transit to be lightening fast thinking, the ability to have such a greater perspective of life and the inner workings, the instantaneous piecing together of pieces and details that didn't quite make sense before, and the ability to communicate with confidence and clarity.
The downside to this transit is that we can find our brains on overload. With the amount of information we are now processing at speeds much quicker than we are use to, we could feel overwhelmed and get anxiety with all the pressure in our heads. There's also a concern that the impulsiveness of Aries will act on a new idea without allowing the air element to apply logic and long term planning.
Where fire and air are concerned, we need to make sure we don't fan the fire too much as it will burn out of control causing damage where there was never intended to be any.
Our tongues grow sharp under this transit. Aries has a tendency to act now and think later. With the fire rolling off the tongue, we may find ourselves speaking out of turn and causing hurt feelings in others. Be very mindful of the words you are using and the tone you adopt to deliver your messages to others.
We have the opportunity to tap into the beneficial energies of the transit to use to our advantage and start tapping into a new level of truth within ourselves. We also have the opportunity to get burned so definitely act with caution.
As always, if you require any assistance navigating these energies, please listen to your April Forecast, listen to the weekly Energy Forecast, and/or book a session online, and I'd be more than happy to help guide you through.
