Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday April 1
Retro-themed birthday celebration, anyone? Today, social Mercury kicks off a three-week retrograde, highlighting the past. This doesn’t HAVE to be a downer for you, Ram. The trick is to focus on nostalgia instead of barreling horns-down toward your future. Since the retrograde takes place in Aries and your first house of identity, consider this a three-week appreciation tour of your own personal history. Dig through your archives of papers, photos and half-finished projects. This can help you recall parts of yourself that you want to bring back—and potentially pursue as a new path.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday April 1
Is it fantasy or reality? Today, communicator Mercury turns retrograde in Aries and your introspective twelfth house.
