Wolverines! Can you believe how fast the fourth quarter is here? The weather is warming up, the sun is shining, and the school year is flying by. April starts off with Aries, the first sign in the zodiac. I hope you’ve had a great start to the astrological year! April 20 will welcome Taurus season. We will see a full moon in Libra on April 12, known as the Pink Moon, and a new moon in Taurus on April 27. Mercury has been in retrograde since March 14 and will continue through April 7, so if you feel like communication has been off for the last couple of weeks, rest assured it will be over soon. If you’re curious to find out what’s in store for your sun sign this month, read on!
What is Mercury retrograde?
When Mercury is retrograding, the planet appears to move slower through the sky than usual. There is no legitimate change in Mercury’s speed, but from the observer on Earth’s perspective, it looks like it’s travelling slower. This planet rules communication and understanding, so when Mercury is moving slower it means its ruling functions move slower, too. You might find delays happening more often, you make more typos or say the wrong things, and you might have more difficulty getting your point across. This motion can happen with any planet, but because Mercury rules such essential functions, we tend to notice these effects more.
