With Mercury aligning with Mars in the spirited Sagittarius, our words can fly fast and feelings run high. This energising combination can fuel brilliant ideas but also blunt opinions.
We should say what we mean, but leave space for others to speak too. Yet daring ideas can spark adventures that prove very exciting.
Aries 21 March – 20 April
Quicksilver Mercury syncs with Mars and fires up your sector of travel, study and big ideas. Restless energy urges you to leap forward, but delays, detours or crossed wires could trip you up. Journeys may go awry, debates might heat up, and bold ideas could benefit from a second look. You’ve got the courage to chase horizons – just think before charging ahead.
Taurus 21 April – 21 May
Conversations about money, trust or commitment may surface with extra force. You could feel the sharp edge of power struggles, but today also brings a chance to renegotiate terms and clarify boundaries. With Mercury and Mars aligning, there’s passion in the air – aim to use it for truth and transparency rather than rushing into reaction.
Gemini 22 May – 21 June
Misunderstandings with partners – romantic, professional or even rivals – could flare up, but there’s also a golden opportunity to clear the air. This isn’t about winning an argument; it’s about understanding the bigger picture. Spirited Mercury-Mars energy could revive old conversations, spark passionate debates or call for mature reconnection.
Cancer 22 June – 23 July
You may feel a surge of energy to tackle your to-do list, but Mercury retrograde could bring delays, miscommunications or resurfacing tasks. Health habits or routines might need tweaking too, so avoid pushing too hard. Today’s success comes not from speed, but from pacing yourself and aligning effort with intention.
Leo 24 July – 23 August
Your sector of creativity, romance and joy is lit up with dynamic, possibly disruptive energy. Old flames, forgotten projects or unspoken feelings could return with a bang. Misunderstandings are likely if you act too quickly. Instead, pause and reflect – true joy comes not from performance, but from genuine presence.
Virgo 24 August – 23 September
Home or family matters could feel intense today. Mercury retrograde may stir up old domestic issues, decisions about property or long-standing emotions. While the urge to act fast is strong, take time to think before making changes. This energy is best used for healing patterns, not repeating them.
Libra 24 September – 23 October
Expect lively discussions, travel plan shake-ups or digital snags today. Mercury and Mars fire up your communication zone, making you bold but possibly blunt. Old conversations or ideas might resurface for review. Speak with clarity and care – your words have more impact than you realise.
Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
Financial plans may hit a speed bump or require review. Unexpected costs, contract issues or deeper conversations about value could arise. While it’s tempting to react swiftly, today’s Mercury-Mars aspect favours careful reconsideration. Think of this as a strategic pause – not a stop.
Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
It could feel like one foot is on the accelerator while the other is on the brake. You’re full of drive and ideas, but delays or detours force you to review your approach. Mercury retrograde in your sign brings back unfinished business or old identity questions. Speak your truth – but with finesse.
Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
Restless energy stirs beneath the surface. Mercury and Mars activate your subconscious, making it harder to ignore what’s been hidden or avoided. Old frustrations or buried insights may rise up. Reflection, not reaction, brings the clarity you need. Trust your instincts and take space to recalibrate.
Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
Social dynamics may feel fiery or unpredictable. An old friend might reappear, or a group project could hit complications. Communication is key – and Mercury retrograde asks you to pause before making bold declarations. Progress now depends on honest dialogue and shared goals.
Pisces 20 February – 20 March
Career conversations or public image concerns could take centre stage. Mercury meets Mars, energising your ambitions but also bringing potential hiccups in how you’re perceived. Past projects may return for revision. Go steady and stay focused – reputation is built on clarity and consistency, not haste.
