By the time Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on April 1, you’ll be invited to consider the beliefs you’ve been upholding that no longer align with your personal truths. If your spiritual practices haven’t supported your independence, it may be time to release them. This retrograde may cause some confusion around what you currently believe versus what you don’t. Use this as an opportunity to challenge yourself to think a bit more outside of the box. New year, new philosophies! During the April 8 Aries solar eclipse, you’ll have the sudden urge to explore the world around you. You may impulsively book a trip or seek more knowledge through higher education or new spiritual practices. You’ll be inclined to embark on many of these adventures solo, but don’t worry, you won’t feel lonely! The experiences you’re engaging in now are a form of self-care for you, and once you reach a level of confidence in these discoveries, you’ll be eager to share them with others.
As Mars links up with the North Node in Aries on May 19, you’ll be launched into a practice that motivates and energizes you.

Your friends and social groups begin to enlighten and educate you on June 4, as Mercury and Jupiter join up in chatty Gemini.

While this new moon may temporarily slow you down, it’s replenishing you in all the right ways. Acknowledge whatever emotions come up today – you’ll feel much better once you allow yourself to feel your feelings.
