Mercury Retrograde￨Aries Energy

Buckle up witchy friends, we’ve just entered the April 2024 mercury retrograde and this one is full of Aries energy! This retrograde officially started on April 1st and will continue through the 25th.  But before you hide under those covers, trust that the retrograde periods can give us opportunities to reflect, revisit past paths, and move forward with more intention and wisdom. That being said, you might want to take extra care with your communication and travel during this period…triple check those emails and give yourself ample time at the airport. And please, please keep that temper in check. When in doubt, sleep on it!
