Mercury: what it means in the chart

It shows how you understand things and how you explain what you understood. It also shows how you deal with paperwork, with the family group chat, and with that difficult conversation that needs to be had.

Aries

Aries is the zodiac's first breath: the energy of someone who starts before being sure. It isn't that Aries has no fear. It acts while feeling fear, because stopping hurts more than getting it wrong. People with this sign strong in the chart learn about life through friction, testing the world with the body, and they often find out what they're capable of after they're already in the thick of it.
