Mercury in Aries: Speak Up

Communication planet Mercury travels through confident Aries from March 2 through March 23. Aries is all about action, so while the Ram is visiting mindful Mercury, make sure that what you do expresses exactly what you mean!

An outspoken energy may spark foot-in-your-mouth syndrome, where you to speak first and think later. While this may cause some upsets, ultimately the spirit of Mercury in Aries will help you get things off your chest -- all for the better.

This year, Mercury’s visit to Aries has a two-part feel to it. Between March 2 and March 11, Mercury is moving forward, helping break new ground in key conversations.

Then, from March 12 through March 23, Mercury goes retrograde, helping polish conversations and ideas that you’ve shared earlier in the month. This reverse period also brings second chances, so if you need to revisit an important conversation, this is the ideal time.
