Use this time to be clear in what you say, including your feelings. You don’t need to second-guess or wonder how the truth will come across; you need to be honest and trust yourself to decide on your best interest.

Connect with your spirit guides, sweet Taurus, as Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Aries, your house of dreams and spirituality will be heightened. This is the first time these two planets will meet within this fire sign, so you must take advantage of this energy.
You may be questioning your relationship or the direction of your romantic life. Rather than trying to figure it out logically, use this time to connect with your spirit guides. Ask the divine for guidance, and then be willing to listen, no matter where it might direct you.
Gemini

Not every relationship is meant to last forever, Gemini. Mercury and Neptune in Aries will highlight your house of relationships and friends. This energy may make you bolder in calling out unhealthy or obnoxious behavior and will change this area of your life.
You want to ensure that you don’t hold others to a higher standard than you do for yourself. However, this could also be a positive time of new connections. Speak with courage and integrity, but allow yourself to attract new people.
Cancer

Be willing to honor your intuition, Cancer. There is a relationship in your life that you’ve given numerous chances to. While not an unhealthy relationship, this connection could not manifest greater commitment, causing you to feel frustrated.
But you must start listening to your intuition and learn when someone has had enough chances. The person meant for you won’t need endless chances to plan a future with you; you have to be willing to listen to that inner voice that tells you it’s time to move on.
Leo

If it resonates with your soul, it’s meant for you, Leo. Mercury will unite with Neptune in your house of luck, tempting you with what this new era of your life will hold.
You will receive an offer today that has the potential to change your entire life. This offer may involve an existing romantic relationship, change, and travel.
Whether it seems like it connects to love or not, you must trust that it does. Let yourself say yes to what resonates with your soul, knowing you are ready for this new chapter to begin.
Virgo

Be mindful of your choices, sweet Virgo. Mercury and Neptune in Aries will help you develop a deeper intimacy with your partner; however, you want to be mindful of your choices.
In this area of your life, you will be tempted by affairs or new relationships that could exploit Aries' impulsivity.
With Neptune here, you may think that a new person is better than they are, so the advice is to go slow. If you decide to end a relationship, do so with integrity and be mindful that your choices will truly benefit you.
Libra

Fall in love but take your head with you, beautiful Libra. March was challenging as Venus and Mercury both retrograded in your house of relationships.
While the dust is still settling from this time, you want to ensure you’re seeing the truth of your partner versus the fantasy.
Mercury uniting with Neptune in Aries may make you susceptible to love bombing and manipulation in relationships, but it may also bring about a moment of feeling that the illusion breaks and seeing your connection for what it is.
Give yourself time to fall in love, but be sure that the person you’re falling in love with is real.
Scorpio

Don’t sacrifice love for success, dear Scorpio. While Mercury and Neptune unite in Aries, there may not be a separation between your romantic and professional lives. This could have you taking work home or devoting all your resources to your career, leaving little time for romance and love.
However, it may also create a situation where you start dating a coworker, which you must practice caution with, especially with Neptune.
You’ve been learning to set boundaries for a reason, and this may be when the universe begins to test them.
Sagittarius

Love should never be a game, Sagittarius. As Mercury and Neptune unite in Aries, you need to be mindful of playing games in romantic matters.
This could look like trying to steal someone away from their current relationship or playing a game of hot and cold with a current partner.
You have the ability to be clear and assertive in expressing yourself, so don’t take the temptation to see how far you can get with those around you.
By honoring what you’ve learned in the past you will be able to use this time to cultivate a relationship that truly brings joy to your life.
Capricorn

Ground yourself in reality, Capricorn. The energy of Mercury and Neptune in Aries may make you question what is real and what is imagination.
This can cause challenges in your romantic life as your memory may not be able to be trusted during this time.
On the plus side, you should be feeling romantic and sensitive, allowing you to connect with the one you love; you just need to make sure that you’re not imagining a connection that doesn’t actually exist.
Aquarius

You can’t keep bringing up the past, Aquarius. If you genuinely want to move ahead, you must decide to leave the past behind you. It may be difficult to separate situations in your current relationship from those that have occurred in the past.
This may cause you to harbor resentment and ill feelings toward your partner, even though they haven’t done anything wrong.
Try to own your feelings and triggers and be sure that you’re separating your current relationship from any of those in your past.
Pisces

Love is an art form, dearest Pisces. As Mercury unites with Neptune in Aries, you can tap into an immense source of creativity and inspiration. Though this will undoubtedly affect your professional life, you will also see benefits in your romantic life.
This energy can help you have greater hope in your romantic life and attract authentic love. You may have to be watchful of whether someone truly values you or what you can do for them. Yet, as long as you do this, the era should bring you the romantic dream you’ve always hoped for.
