We are approaching the very first full Mercury retrograde of 2025. This retrograde will begin in Aries and it will end in the water sign Pisces. While Mercury stays in retrograde motion, it is essential to remain flexible and mindful of your thoughts and actions. During this time, you may feel a bit confused and overwhelmed with ideas, making this an excellent opportunity for practising yoga, meditation, reading, spending time in nature and generally doing anything that helps you calm down your mind and express all your ideas and thoughts.

Since Mercury Retrograde can cause disruptions with technology, take special care with your digital data. Back up all your valuable data, files and photos. Mercury also rules documents, proposals, tests and contracts, so read everything carefully before signing anything important. It is not the best time for starting anything new. It is, however, a good time to continue a project that began before Mercury turned retrograde.

April’s Mercury Retrograde Horoscope for Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

This retrograde is all about you. It’s a time for deep self-reflection, reconsidering your goals, and fine-tuning your personal image or identity. You may feel frustrated by delays, but instead of forcing things forward, use this time to recalibrate. Be mindful of how you communicate, as misunderstandings could be more common.

Taurus

During this time, hidden matters, subconscious patterns, and past issues may resurface, urging you to face what’s been buried. Your dreams and intuition will likely be stronger, offering insight into what needs closure. Avoid gossip or secretive dealings, as miscommunications behind the scenes could create unnecessary confusion.

Gemini

During this time, you will be reviewing your friendships, group dynamics, and long-term goals. Old friends may reappear, or you may need to resolve past tensions within a social circle. If you’ve been working on a community project or networking goal, it’s a good time to reassess before moving forward.

Cancer

Career matters and public reputation could be affected during this time. Delays in work projects, leadership decisions, or professional recognition might test your patience. Try to avoid making impulsive career moves, and instead, review your goals and ensure they align with your true ambitions. Past professional connections may come back into play.

Leo

Travel, education, and belief systems may go through a revision phase. Plans related to higher learning, publishing, or long-distance trips could be delayed or need adjustments. If you’ve been questioning your philosophical or spiritual beliefs, this is a time for deep contemplation and rediscovery.

Virgo

This retrograde might bring financial delays, unexpected expenses, or the need to review agreements related to loans, taxes, or investments. It’s also a period for emotional deep-diving — past wounds in close relationships could resurface, asking for resolution.

Libra

Relationships, partnerships, and contracts are under review. Old relationship dynamics may resurface, or you might reconnect with an ex or past business partner. Miscommunications in one-on-one connections are likely, so patience and clarity in conversations will be essential. Try to avoid rushing into new commitments.

Scorpio

Daily routines, work, and health habits might feel disrupted. Technology issues at work, scheduling mishaps, or misunderstandings with coworkers could be frustrating. Health-wise, it’s a good time to revisit old wellness routines and check in with your body. Focus on slowing down rather than overloading yourself.

Sagittarius

Creativity, romance, and personal joy take center stage during this time. Mercury retrograde encourages you to reflect on old passion projects or past romantic interests. If something feels off in your love life, now is the time to assess what needs adjusting. It’s a great period for revisiting hobbies that once brought you joy.

Capricorn

Home, family, and emotional security may be affected during this time. Past family issues could resurface, or you may experience delays in home-related matters, such as moving, renovations, or real estate decisions. It’s a time to reflect on your roots and what truly makes you feel safe and stable.

Aquarius

Communication, travel, and learning experiences may feel disrupted. Be extra cautious with emails, texts, and agreements, as misunderstandings are likely. Sibling relationships or community connections may need reassessment. If you’re working on writing, speaking, or educational projects, take this time to refine rather than launch.

Pisces

Finances and self-worth are in the spotlight. Unexpected expenses or delays in payments might test your patience. Instead of making impulsive money decisions, use this time to review budgets and rethink financial strategies. Self-worth and confidence may also need reevaluation — this is a chance to strengthen your sense of value.
