As if April Fools’ Day wasn’t bad enough on its own, Mercury retrograde began on April 1st in the aggressive sign of Aries. This occasional backslide occurs when Mercury appears to align its orbit with that of Earth.
Nobody is safe from the wrath of Mercury retrograde, but according to astrologer Stina Garbis, three signs are likely to go through the worst until the end of Mercury retrograde on April 26.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
It’s your season, Aries, and you can cry if you want to. As a cardinal sign that starts alone, you’ll likely feel the urge to make some changes in your life during this confusing period (who among us hasn’t had an existential crisis induced by the birthday before?). But with so much uncertainty ahead, it’s probably best to take a step back and carefully plan your next move before acting.
“This retrograde begins with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Chiron in your sign, as well as in your first house,” says Garbis. “It’s a lot of pressure building up and many exciting things and discoveries can begin now, but it’s essential to realize that sowing and reaping occur at different times. Not everything happens now; things need time to unfold, and waiting and patience are your most challenging lessons.”
The expert also warns that you may feel uncomfortable in your love life, career, or even trauma, but Garbis insists that things “will go at a calmer pace very soon,” as long as you remember to go with the flow, be mindful, and trust the process.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
As Mercury is in your 12th house of the unconscious, dear Taurus, don’t be surprised if feelings of regret and resentment come to the surface during this retrograde. Additionally, Garbis reveals that new opportunities may be on the horizon for you and, as a comfort creature, adjusting to these changes may be difficult. Nevertheless, it’s important to embrace any and all developments that come your way in the weeks ahead, as blessings will make you more abundant and challenges will make you stronger.
“Plant your good intentions and get ready for the great things that are coming because they’re out there,” says Garbis.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
With Mercury in your second house of wealth and material possessions, you may feel bogged down by clutter or worried about scarcity, Pisces.
Instead of focusing on the negative, Garbis recommends taking steps to improve your situation, whether it’s finally clearing out your ex’s belongings, seeking a better-paying job, or opening a savings account with a better interest rate.
