Monday, MARCH 3

Mercury enters Aries today, where it will transit until March 29th. Due to an upcoming retrograde cycle and Mercury’s return to Pisces on the 29th, Mercury will again transit Aries from April 16th to May 10th.

This Mercury cycle can feel refreshingly decisive and forward-looking. It can certainly be a time when we’re a bit impatient or terse, but it can feel good not to dwell or spend too much time arriving at conclusions in the weeks ahead. We’re less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations during this cycle and more interested in reaching a decision quickly. We want to pioneer and innovate or be the first ones with the idea. It’s time to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.

Consider that Mercury will turn retrograde in the sign on the 15th, and we might reconsider some of our interests and decisions later.

Mercury forms a quintile with Jupiter today, and our ideas are particularly clever. Focusing on intellectual interests and problem-solving can be especially successful now. It’s subtle energy but good for rounding out our thinking.

With the Moon’s move into Taurus at 5:37 AM EST today, we gravitate to grounding, practical, or comfortable activities.

The Moon continues its period today until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:37 AM EST.
