When the planet of communication retrogrades, those areas of life it rules, including speech, communication, learning, thinking, and all forms of electronic communication, are not functioning up to par. Any of these areas can experience delays, confusion, or things going wrong.
Mercury is in Aries, which is a Mars-ruled sign. This means we can expect more assertive or aggressive communication and even rudeness while Mercury is retrograde in this sign. On the positive side, Aries rules initiative, bravery, and pioneering ideas, so while we may struggle through some setbacks, we're also learning new ideas and new ways of approaching things.
It is time to think and flush out any thinking and ideas that no longer work for us, especially in the following areas that this Mercury retrograde affects each zodiac sign the most.
How Mercury retrograde affects your zodiac sign from March 15 to April 7, 2025:
Aries

You are impulsive by nature, Aries, and with Mercury retrograding in your sign, you may be even more impulsive or prone to losing your temper.
Since your emotional regulation may be tested over the next few weeks, it's a good time to turn inward and focus on completing projects you've been putting off. Update something you do, such as a brand or website, or pamper yourself with a new hairstyle, clothes, or makeup.
