Aries 2019: Navigating Mercury Retrograde
A Guide to Communication, Technology, and Reflection for the Ram
Mercury Retrograde & The Aries Spirit
For the fiery and direct Aries, Mercury Retrograde periods are a cosmic test of patience. Ruled by Mars, you're used to charging ahead. In 2019, these planetary phases ask you to slow down, review, and reconsider. This isn't about stopping your journey—it's about ensuring you're on the right path.
Key Areas of Focus for Aries
Communication
Your usual bluntness may be misinterpreted. Think before you speak. Revisit important conversations and clarify misunderstandings. Written agreements need extra scrutiny.
Initiative & Projects
New launches may face delays. Use this energy to perfect plans, repair old equipment, or revisit a paused project. Forced patience can lead to a stronger start.
Personal Reflection
The retrograde highlights your personal identity zone. Re-evaluate your goals. Are you acting for yourself or for others' approval? Past insights can guide your future.
Cosmic Advice for The Ram
- Do: Back up data, re-read emails, revisit old ideas, practice mindful communication, repair rather than replace.
- Don't: Sign major contracts impulsively, buy new electronics without research, start arguments over old issues, rush into new relationships.
- Use Your Fire Wisely: Channel your legendary Aries energy into detailed review, passionate refinement, and courageous self-honesty instead of new conquests.
This period is a cosmic gift for strategic planning. Your dynamic energy, when focused inwardly, can rebuild a stronger foundation for when the planets move direct.
