It’s time to fight for your truth and broadcast your most passionate messages — again. After a few weeks of conversations going sideways in Pisces, Mercury re-enters Aries, where it’s easier to get straight to the point. While the planet of communication travels through the sign of the ram from April 15th to May 10th, you may find yourself returning to the scene of long-simmering debates, charged exchanges, and bold revelations that require further unpacking — or damage control.

As Mercury retreads familiar ground from its retrograde journey, heated discussions from weeks past could come back around, so prepare to pick up where you left off. Apply everything you’ve learned about finessing the tone of your transmissions and listening as actively as you’re yapping. Above all, remember that you don’t have to “win” every argument. When the cosmic messenger lodges in this competitive fire sign, misinformation and rage-baiting can run amok, and it can be tempting to puncture holes in someone’s reasoning before you’ve had a chance to absorb the whole story. Avoid these traps and save your mental energy for the causes where your courage can make a difference.

Instead of rushing to spark an inflammatory war of words, practice giving your thoughts time to cool off. Gather information at your own leisure, pause to reflect, and then boldly articulate your conclusions. Finally, rejoice in the clarity that’s come back online now that Mercury is moving direct. Even if you still feel tempted to blurt out your hottest takes and spiciest opinions, at least you’ll have less trouble reaching a consensus — or agreeing to disagree.
