Communication in your social circles might become murky, leading to drama, misunderstandings, or delays. Watch your mouth during this time and double-check the details before jumping to conclusions. Spend time reevaluating your contribution to group projects. You can expect old friends to pop up. While Mercury retrograde can bring its challenges, it also offers an opportunity for introspection and realignment with your true desires.

Venus boldly struts into Aries on the 4th, infusing social connections with passion and spontaneity. There is a desire to openly express your desires. Despite this, avoid making impulsive decisions and jumping into relationships or situations without considering the consequences. Be mindful of being too moody, as it could create tension or confusion with friends or acquaintances. Aside from avoiding selfish behavior, it is essential to prioritize the needs and feelings of others. The presence of Venus will temper the effects of Mercury's retrograde motion.

A solar eclipse arrives in Aries on the 8th, marking a potent moment for your sense of self, and long-term aspirations.

It's a favorable time for meaningful conversations, negotiations, or intellectual pursuits. However, be mindful of potential information overload or scattered thinking. Use this energy to clear out emails, text messages, and unused apps.

On the 17th, Venus closely joins the North Node and opposes the South Node. Venus with the Nodes is about not holding back your love and affection for others. Since the Sun enters Taurus on the 19th, you'll find it easier to to explore your feelings and enjoy the simple pleasures of love and comfort. Take time to slow down and focus on building your inner security. Especially since a magical Full Moon in Scorpio lands in your health and wellness sector on the 23rd; occurring right after a meeting between Jupiter & Uranus, which forces you to think outside the box.

This Full Moon is about making self-care a top priority while navigating work-related demands. Yes, that's right, this month's Full Moon invokes a deep transformation and cleansing of your daily life. It's time to make every day a sacred ritual. Health is at the forefront, so take care of yourself and schedule those much-needed checkups.
