Merc’s Aries Megaphone

Our shift spirit animal is the fab Julia Zemiro, her Mercury (+ Sun + Saturn + Lilith) all in Aries. Roar.

Grab your megaphones darklings and prepare to shout that fog down when Mercury fairly blasts into Aries today. He spends his remaining hours in Pisces extricating himself from the last shadowy vestiges of his surreal retrograde through Crazytown / Neptunia.

Merc emerges from his rx shadow at the final degree of the zodiac, an exodus that offers spectacular insight into those bizarre Ides of March. The anaretic degree of Pisces is where his retrograde began all those weeks ago and he returns here both wiser and worse for wear.

Expect the smokescreens to clear and reveal the true lie of the land. Delusions may well evaporate in tandem revealing the full extent of secrets and lies, a stinking hallmark of the slippery fish rx. But at one of the most powerful positions in the sky, this is a finish line that aids integration, alchemising our finely crafted understanding into hard won wisdom.

All the better to charge forwards with, as Merc finds his voice anew and lets the fire in his belly roar. Suddenly the impetus to tell it like it is becomes overwhelming as mouths shoot off like firecrackers. Fuses are short, passions are high and brute cerebral force is leading the charge.

Interestingly this period will coincide with Australia's federal election campaign, a quaint little compulsory circus full of sound and fury where we pretend the voting public has a say in who gets the top job. Look for a change in personal agency and a further rise in protest and activism as voters remember that in a democracy they always hold the balance of power. Expect below the belt revelations and dirty tactics beyond the standard political gongshow. When Merc is in Aries, the game is played for keeps.

Not shy of an opinion or likely to back down from a fight, Merc in Aries blazes a trail ringed in truth sans delusional compromise. He trades his wishbone for his backbone and squares his shoulders, galvanised to get the job done. Channel this fiery impetus into the good work of your life, its bolshie swagger transforming flagging confidence into firepower. Light up, darklings.
