As you might know, Mercury is now retrograde…
So what does the April 2024 Mercury retrograde mean for all the signs?
Mercury is the communications planet so the retrograde (when Mercury appears to go backwards in the skies) can be a very confusing time … but also allows you redo, revise and rethink, depending on which part of your chart it’s hitting.

Dos and don’t when Mercury is retrograde…
Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Aries…
Here are 5 things to do for that from my Mercury retrograde book

2. Stop talking and start listening!
3. Re‑find your vavavavoom

Is this April 2024 overall significant in any way?
April 2024 is hugely significant!
We have Mercury retrograde now, then the New Moon eclipse tomorrow and on April 21, we have a once-every-14-years alignment between the planet of plenty, Jupiter, and the planet of change, Uranus – so big shifts are possible!
I would say harness the energy – think about where you want to go in life and the steps needed to get there!
