Good evening, friends!

Now, in Part Two of the forecast we are going to look at a horoscope for each Sun/Rising sign.
Horoscopes for Mercury Retrograde in Aries 2024
Here is a short horoscope for each Sun or Rising sign for the Mercury retrograde starting on April 1, 2024, and ending on April 25, 2024. This will make the most sense if you read your rising sign.
Aries-
The Mercury retrograde in Aries will be in your first house of self, health, identity, and your physical body. The Solar Eclipse will also be affecting this same house and represents a major new beginning in these areas. You may experience a revision, or reassessment of how you care for your body, mind, and soul. This could include changes to your appearance that you feel are more in alignment with who you feel you are.
Mars governs Aries and thus is incredibly important as your ascendant ruler, the ruler of this Mercury retrograde, and Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024, so this is a very significant month for you!! You could feel like you want to go, do, and take action, but feel like you are being restricted, held back, or unable to move forward significantly this month. This could be frustrating! At month’s end, this will shift dramatically and the blocks and setbacks will lessen, so hang in there!
Mercury governs over your third house of siblings and community and your sixth house of sickness and stress so there could be something that comes up involving your siblings, neighbors, transportation, communication, health, hard work, labor, sacrifice, selfless service, or things that frustrate you—and one or a few of these things could affect your self-image, your home, or your immediate environment.
It is possible during this retrograde that you are able to avoid serious matters or conversations involving your health and well-being, careless mistakes, or transportation since Saturn is in your twelfth house and Mercury is avoiding aspects to him during this retrograde.
Pay special attention to your physical and mental health, as well as the management of your vehicle in April Aries, as these topics are being highlighted during this time.
Since the Moon will be squaring the nodes from your tenth house, there could be a significant personal event surrounding your career, public standing, your mother, or family at the beginning of this retrograde.
Taurus—
The Mercury retrograde in Aries will be in your twelfth house of self-undoing, confinement, and hidden enemies. Because the twelfth house is associated with unconscious behaviors and patterns that can often be our blind spots, whatever comes about during this retrograde may be going on behind the scenes rather than out in the open or even in your conscious awareness. The Solar Eclipse will also be affecting this same house and represents a major new beginning in these areas.
Mercury governs over your second house of possessions, money, and skills and your fifth house of children, pregnancy, recreational activities, and creativity, so there could be something that comes up involving how you make your money or skills you have or are cultivating as well as what you are creating during this time and how you are spending your free time—those areas may influence your mental health and well-being and you could be thinking a lot about your habits and routines that either sabotage or support your best intentions.
