Mercury Retrograde in Aries March 15 - March 28
During the time Mercury will be retrograde in Aries, you may find yourself reviewing your personal goals and sense of identity. You may feel the need to resolve an event from your past that has been blocking you from achieving your full potential. If you've procrastinated the completion of a personal challenge, this can be a productive time to pick up where you left off. Patience and perseverance will be key to your success.
During these days, it may be difficult to advance because the energy will encourage you to address the past. You could feel impatient to try something new, but you'll be encouraged to finish what you've started first. Use the available support to bring projects to completion and re-do any work that needs improvement. Your personal development depends on your ability to take responsibility for the past and demonstrate to others that you're able to follow through with your plans.
Conflicts will be more likely during this time period as people will be feeling competitive. You'll have the most successful interactions when you're able to channel the energy towards friendly competition or personal challenges that help you to feel more independent. This Mercury retrograde cycle will teach you to slow down and consider your reaction before taking a defensive stance.
These days will be ideal for resuming physical fitness routines that you may have abandoned earlier in the year. You can direct any feelings of restlessness into movement that strengthens your body. Avoid starting new sports or exercises, as injuries/accidents are more likely during these days. You'll be supported to gently reintroduce physical activities that you have done in the past.
You could be overly self-centered during this time. Take the time to notice how others around you may be feeling. Avoid the trap of thinking that you're the only one experiencing difficulties during this time. By reaching out to help others, you'll get some extra support and make it through any retrograde-related bumps in the road much more easily.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces March 29 - April 7
When Mercury is retrograde in Pisces, your thinking may become a bit more idealistic than usual. You will be gaining visions of the interconnectedness of all beings, and more inclined to take others' feelings into account.
This is an excellent period for meditation, prayer and allowing yourself to pull back and become more reliant on the help and guidance of your personal connection with a Higher Power.

Your personal development depends on your ability to take responsibility for the past and demonstrate to others that you're able to follow through with your plans.
Avoidance and procrastination will be more likely during this time period as people will be feeling the need to escape from reality. While it's not a good time to force new initiatives forward, it will be a good time to bring works in progress to fruition. Creative energies will be strong. Make use of this time to return to a creative and/or spiritual practice that you may have let slip from your schedule.
These days will be ideal for psychological healing and acknowledging addictions. Use the available energy to release old feelings and habits that have been holding you back. There will be an emphasis on forgiving yourself and others in order to move on.
You could be feeling a bit “spacey” or distracted during this time. Give yourself extra time to arrive at appointments and create written reminders about the events in your schedule. Stay flexible, as others may be more apt to be confused or forgetful about existing plans. Go with the flow and realize that any unexpected cancellations are occurring to create extra down time for you.
About Mercury Retrograde
By Jan Spiller
From the point of view of the Earth, the planet Mercury appears to be going "backwards" when a Mercury retrograde cycle occurs. During the time period of this phenomenon, we are all experiencing certain psychological effects in common, such as confusion, reversals of decision, getting “off track” and indecision. We will also be more likely to experience unexpected, emotionally-charged miscommunications with others and may need to repeat actions more than once to get them "right.”
This psychological confusion leads to predictable physical consequences such as mistakes with paperwork resulting from inattention and lack of focus. Repair work, such as auto repair or dental work, is more likely to need redoing during this time. Additionally, certain physical objects ruled by Mercury seem to go haywire. Computers, printers, and various modes of transportation or communication are particularly vulnerable to malfunctioning during the Mercury retrograde cycles.
While the time of Mercury retrograde constricts success and advancement in outer, worldly activity, it expands the opportunity to connect with one's inner world. Therefore, it's a great time for meditating, writing, reflecting, or working on solitary personal projects. The Mercury retrograde cycle offers a rare opportunity to get in touch with your inner truth. Use this time wisely to consider your life from a subjective, holistic point of view, taking both your feelings and mental reasoning into account.
Best use of a Mercury retrograde cycle:
Notice these cycles in advance (they last about 3-4 weeks and occur 3-4 times each year) and plan your schedule accordingly. Plan to use the time before and after the Mercury retrograde cycles to go forward with external work and focus on your public and social activities. During Mercury retrograde, plan to rest, spend time alone, attend to personal projects and reorganize yourself. By following the cycles of Mercury, your life can follow a natural balance between internal and external focus.
If you must attend a business meeting during Mercury retrograde:
Your best bet is to be clear about your intentions and opinions. You may need to repeat your ideas slowly and with certainty to get others to actually hear what you are saying. People in your environment may be easily confused. Keep your communications very consistent and clear and remind others about previous agreements. By slowing down and communicating with extra care, you will be more likely to get others to go along with your plan

(4,257 posts)1. I have been doing many many past cleansing meditations lately. Feeling a desperate need to
reach an acceptance, a new view of, even make friends with my past. I feel at some point all the trauma I’ve been undoing for the past 20 years is going to pay off. Soon, I’m hoping!
Chakra healings, pain body acknowledgement and releases, retraining thought to be more positive……
Astrologers and healers are telling us to get good with ourselves now. This will help weather the storms, personal and public.
Thanks for posting SheltieLover 🩵
