If you thought things were about to slow down, think again. Aries season is bringing the go-getter vibes following on from the recent eclipse that shook things up, and now Mercury Retrograde is here and we all know this equals chaos.
This Mercury Retrograde will take place from April 1st until the 25th and the signs that will be feeling the heat the most will be the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
Not every retrograde is as serious as this one, but because this retrograde begins in Aries—the cardinal fire sign associated with courage, independence, self-assertion freedom and new beginnings— issues related to ego, relationships and communication will be front and centre.
This one is also ruled by Mars, known for its power, passion and conflict while moving through empathetic Pisces which means this retrograde will be all about being able to act on emotions with openness but prepare for tantrums too.
If you’re a Leo or Sagittarius then you are one of the lucky signs that won’t be hit so hard this Aries season.
Read your horoscope here, and if you want more insights into what’s on the horizon for you, spiritual coach Maria Leonard has shared with Cosmo ME every star sign’s April cosmic numbers to help you discover what lies ahead and how you can stay empowered to script your future.
