This astrological phenomenon, in case you didn't know, is notorious for creating communication problems, delays, and misunderstandings. In short, it throws us into chaos. If we add to this the fact that Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Aries, impulsive and energetic, then there’s reason to be afraid. But don't worry: in this article, you'll find advice and a small guide, sign by sign, on how to survive. Let's go!

Mercury Retrograde in Aries: What to Expect and How to Handle It

To navigate this transit, which could bring impulsive reactions, heated discussions, and rushed decisions, it is important to take a deep breath and count to 10 before speaking or making choices. A good strategy is also to carefully check details in agreements, contracts, emails, and important documents to avoid critical mistakes. Before starting a new project, think it through and don’t get carried away by impulsiveness. Patience is key—stay focused, stay attentive, and don’t become passive in the face of what happens. This ongoing effort could drain your mental energy. Hold on, it will pass. In fact, if you’re skilled enough, you might even turn this chaos into an opportunity for personal growth, drawing strength from Aries' determination, as it is ruled by Mars. The keyword: reflect! What to avoid: insisting on being right at all costs, against everyone and everything.
