April Fool’s Day gets off to a proper start when metal Mercury goes retrograde in Aries at 6:14 pm. The Universe is urging us to avoid hasty decisions, especially those made in anger. There will be times when we’re tempted to act out of boredom, nervousness, or frustration. It’s better to watch, listen, and wait until the 25th to make any big moves.
The Moon moves through ambitious Capricorn most of the day, making a sextile to Mars in reflective Pisces at 1:49 pm, then squaring the Sun in competitive Aries at 11:15 pm. Working behind the scenes will be more productive than fighting to command the spotlight.

Mercury retrogrades in your 1st house, causing you to second-guess yourself. Normally, you project bold confidence.

Taurus

At that point, there may be better options available, including a big discount on tuition, airfare, or hotel rooms. Meanwhile, a sextile between the Moon and outgoing Mars paves the way for a fun social outing.

Leo

Virgo
Don’t freak out about debt. Mercury’s retrograde through your 8th house of joint resource can help you renegotiate the terms of a loan, get a lower interest rate on a credit card, or have a bill wiped out altogether.
