Aries
March 21 to April 20
Quicksilver Mercury syncs with Mars and fires up your sector of travel, study and big ideas. Restless energy urges you to leap forward, but delays, detours or crossed wires could trip you up. Journeys may go awry, debates might heat up, and bold ideas could benefit from a second look. You’ve got the courage to chase horizons – just think before charging ahead.

You may feel a surge of energy to tackle your to-do list, but Mercury retrograde could bring delays, miscommunications or resurfacing tasks.

Your sector of creativity, romance and joy is lit up with dynamic, possibly disruptive energy. Old flames, forgotten projects or unspoken feelings could return with a bang.
