Aries Monthly Horoscope

If Venus retrograde isn’t serving you enough confusion about what and who you’re into, here’s a second head’s up: the first of the 2025 Mercury retrogrades. You might feel like changing your name to Miss Understood on March 15 when Mercury, the guardian of technology, travel and communication, flips into retrograde until April 7. The first half of the backspin could be the trickiest as Mercury backs through Aries (until March 29), leaving you feeling tongue-tied and wildly misread. Hold off on any major pitches or splashy launches, unless it's with a previous client, since retrogrades favor the past. 

From March 29 to April 7, Mercury is retrograde in Pisces and your hazy twelfth house, which could bring mixed messages, hidden agendas and even some shady people into your sphere. If you sense dishonesty, do NOT move forward: You could be found guilty by association. With mental Mercury in your foggy twelfth house, you could feel fatigued and unclear. 

Give your brain a break from heavy lifting. Instead, focus on healing and processing emotions you've avoided. You may have a loss to grieve or a disappointment to accept. Your subconscious could be working overtime, so pay attention to strong gut feelings as well as your dreams, which could be especially vivid.

No, that won’t exactly bode well for your birthday season, unless you adopt a growth mindset at once. Try to see everything that comes your way—and causes you to pivot—as a lesson from the universe; one that is here to guide you toward an even richer, deeper and more profound experience of life than you could imagine on your own. You’re a tough cookie, Ram, and the challenges these retrogrades are serving will definitely make you stronger.
