Pisces, this month is all about you. It’s time for some introspection. When Mercury moves into retrograde, you may struggle with processing your thoughts and being too analytical. Don’t be afraid to feel this out on your own. You need to let yourself think instead of avoiding it. Despite this, October will bring you a sense of calm. Pursue that brilliant idea you’ve been thinking about! You will feel like you have time to explore your creativity more, so let yourself take on more projects. It will be good for you to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in this way, and maybe even make some money while doing it.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Mercury retrograde may have you feeling a bit overwhelmed this month, but don’t let that alarm you. Remember that it is okay to take some time off and focus on yourself. Have you been feeling like you need a break lately? Spending time by yourself is extremely beneficial for you this month, Aries. Take some time off, and let yourself do nothing. You shouldn’t be ashamed to turn down plans and have a date with yourself. This will help you to become one with your inner thoughts and desires. Explore them deeply, and you will leave this month feeling much more enlightened.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Be open to new opportunities this month, Taurus. Not just any opportunity, though. Be open to exploring new romantic relationships!
