Emotions will run high: Mercury retrograde prepares changes for four zodiac signs

Traditionally, Mercury is considered the planet of knowledge, logic, and communication in astrology, but there is another side to the coin. When Mercury starts to move retrograde, the situation changes dramatically. This is a time of doubts, worries, losses, defeats, and delays in business.

Astrologers say that the spring retrograde, which will last until April 25, will particularly affect the four zodiac signs. This period will begin during the eclipse corridor, so you should be careful and refrain from making fateful decisions.

Aries

You will definitely feel all the dizzying and confusing consequences more than anyone else because Mercury retrograde begins in Aries. Setbacks, inconveniences, and confusions can affect your self-esteem. Try not to dwell too much on the problems and blame your own incompetence. Instead, try to look for the positive even in the most difficult moments. Not everything in life has to happen immediately. Be patient and don't give up on yourself.

As the retrograde occurs during the eclipse season, note that you are also approaching major changes that will affect your future in the long run. On April 8, Aries will have a total solar eclipse that combines problems from your past with promises from your future.

Gemini

With Mercury as your ruling planet, retrogradation always has a big impact on you. This period can bring out deep sensitivity, especially when it comes to your relationships. You will question whether you are really on track to achieve your dreams and whether these aspirations are in line with your values.

During a retrograde, you may feel embarrassed, insecure, and afraid. You may face challenges at work. When dealing with enormous pressure in your professional life, you may not be able to withstand it and provoke serious conflicts. It may be time to start a new chapter in your life, but all important decisions should be made after the eclipse and retrograde period.

Virgo

You always feel the effects of retrogrades intensely, as Mercury is your ruling planet. This time, Mercury will have a dark and gloomy tone as it begins in your eighth house of emotional and financial investment. You will have to pay off debts from the past.

Things will also be tense in your personal life. As Mars joins forces with Saturn in Pisces on April 10, you'll feel extra pressure to make long-term commitments and overcome difficult stages in your relationships.

Libra

April could be one of the most difficult months of 2024 for you. No sooner have you recovered from the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, which drained you to the core, than a new stage of personal transformation begins. On April 1, Mercury retrograde will begin in your seventh house of partnership, forcing you to think even more closely about how your identity changes depending on the relationships you've always been immersed in.

Mercury retrograde will bring important rethinking. You may want to choose freedom if you realize that a relationship is not working for you. Relationships require compromises and force you to create space for the needs and interests of others. For strong and harmonious couples, retrograde will be another opportunity to make sure they made the right choice.
