Mercury transit Aries: 16 April - 10 May 2025

Mercury will transit Aries from April 16th - 10th May 2025. Mercury first transited Aries from March 3rd - 30th earlier this year, so you may be revisiting these themes once more.

Mercury conjunct Neptune at 0​º 

Mercury will be conjunct Neptune at 0º from April 16th - 17th for the first time since 1874 (that's 151 years ago!). It's possible you may experience headaches or migraines around this time, or perhaps a bit of brain fog. 
​
On a positive note, this conjunction lends itself well to intuitive downloads, yoga and active meditation!

Mercury retrograde post-shadow period

It’s important to note that Mercury is currently in its post-shadow retrograde period which will conclude on April 27th. So between now and the end of April you may still experience confusion about important decisions you need to make.

When will things become clearer?

You can expect to experience more clarity from late April onwards. Things will become even clearer after mid-May when we will finally be out of the post-shadow retrograde periods for both Mars (May 4th) and Venus (May 16th).
