Mercury transits three signs, from the 1st to the 3rd in Aries, from the 4th to the 17th in Taurus, then in Gemini: interpersonal adaptability will be required of everyone this month, and zodiac signs would do well to think carefully before revealing their ideas unequivocally starting from the 18th. Mars in Aries until the 18th significantly favors bold actions, burning desires, and anything requiring courage will be supported: fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) and air signs (Gemini and Aquarius) will be faced with challenges and compelled to push their limits, while the other signs, especially the cardinal signs (Capricorn, Cancer, and Libra), will have to exercise restraint to avoid clashes with those around them. After the 18th, Mars moves into Taurus, abandoning haste and the struggle to act with patience, long-term vision, and tactical slowness. Venus in Gemini (until the 19th) harmoniously aligns with Mars in Aries until the 18th, creating a light, mischievous, yet conquering and passionate emotional atmosphere, sure to delight the fire and air signs.
Then Venus enters Cancer on the 19th and, in a nice aspect to Jupiter, will favor feelings that may be a bit touchy, but so sensitive and capable of great generosity that the romantic atmosphere will be filled with lovely love stories. Saturn and Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius (which will go retrograde on the 6th) form a powerful energy directed towards the future and progress: especially the first decan of these signs should feel a strong push towards what makes their hearts sing, with the guiding principle that the more innovative the project, the more likely it is to materialize! After the 22nd, the sun in Gemini in a nice aspect to this planetary alignment will be an additional guarantee of a beautiful evolution!
