The Horoscope Warns That Mercury Retrograde May Lead To Bad Decisions This Week.
Do you feel the irrepressible urge to send a message to your ex? Your horoscope for the week from March 31 to April 6 suggests that a new month begins under somewhat tumultuous auspices. We are in the heart of one of the most trying astrological configurations of the year 2024. So take care of yourself during this period.
The milestone begins on April 1 with Mercury beginning its retrograde in Aries, signaling a time ripe for misunderstandings, heated exchanges, and outbursts of anger. Aries, with its fiery and impulsive nature, tends to favor immediate action, leaving reflection until later. However, it is good to remember that some conflicts do not deserve to be initiated, especially at a time when susceptibility and egos are raw under this astrological influence.
Mercury retrograde has the particularity of bringing the past to the forefront, encouraging you to confront old issues and seek resolutions. It is not uncommon for former partners and friends to resurface during this time. And when Venus, the planet of love and romance, forms an alignment with mysterious and bewitching Neptune on April 3, the idea of rekindling old flames and reawakening dormant feelings might seem appealing to you.
However, it is advisable to think carefully before committing or allowing yourself to be guided by the illusions of a capricious heart because this situation can prove disappointing. If something seems too ideal to be true, it probably is.
On April 5, with the entry of Venus into Aries, matters of the heart gain in intensity but also impulsiveness. Venus faces challenges in this sign, where instant attraction risks losing its luster as quickly as it appeared. However, the sextile formed between Venus and Pluto, the transformer, on April 6, invites introspection on the nature of love in your life, both towards yourself and the people who have marked your journey.
