Mercury in Aries, 2029
Mercury enters Aries on Friday 23 March 2029, 12:19 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Taurus on Saturday 7 April 2029, 08:52 UTC, after 15 days.
Mercury crosses from Pisces into Aries on 23 March 2029 at 12:19 UTC and stays for 15 days, moving on to Taurus on 7 April 2029 at 08:52 UTC. Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. Mercury moves forward through it the whole time, with no retrograde during this stay.
Astrologers read Mercury in Aries as quick, direct thinking. The tradition associates the sign with beginnings, courage and plain speech, and treats Mercury here as favoring short decisions over long deliberation. The same speed is said to bring impatience, with words spoken before they are weighed. A modest suggestion from this reading: use the fortnight to start the message or task you have been circling, then read it once more before sending.
