The cosmos has its own April Fools joke this year, as Mercury turns retrograde in Aries. During Mercury retrograde, it is important to prioritize self-care and set boundaries. Take things one step at a time, and be mindful of your words to avoid miscommunication. Give others space and use this period for introspection and building relationships. It is also a good time to finish pending tasks and declutter both physically and mentally. Renew commitments and reaffirm your values during this period. While Mercury retrograde may bring challenges, it also offers a chance for growth and reassessment. Embrace its energy and use it as a powerful ally in your personal and professional life. Remember, Mercury retrograde is not something to be feared, but rather an opportunity for reflection and renewal.

Venus conjunct Neptune blends the energies of love, beauty, and values with dreams, spirituality, and compassion, creating a profound influence on relationships, creativity, and intuition. This aspect fosters idealistic love, artistic expression, and deep empathy, but is also challenging in relationships due to a tendency toward idealization. So, allow your partner or love interests to be as human as possible during this period, or it could lead to disappointment.
