The planet of death and rebirth, Pluto, begins its retrograde in Capricorn at 8:47 AM, encouraging us to reflect on our own personal evolutions. Are we coping with change well, or resisting the process? Mercury retrogrades back into Fire sign Aries at 1:37 PM—it's time to rethink the impulsive choices you made in March. The Moon, in Aquarius, connects with Jupiter at 2:50 PM, creating a lucky atmosphere. All times EST.

Aries
Mercury is retrograde, and today it reenters your sign, encouraging you to take time to slow down and rethink a few things: your commitments, what you can give in a relationship, and what you're willing to put up with.

Taurus
Mercury retrogrades out of your sign and reenters Aries today, activating very psychic sector of your chart, so expect to feel very sensitive to other people's vibes. Take it slow and catch up on alone time—it'll help you think.

Gemini
The Moon is in fellow Air sign Aquarius today, inspiring you to try new things! But your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograde, so take it slow and don't take on new projects if you can help it. Expect to run into old friends, especially now that Mercury's reentered Aries.

Cancer
Today, power planet Pluto begins its retrograde in Capricorn, the sign opposite from you on the zodiac wheel, intensifying the vibe in your partnerships. Career stuff is also being highlighted thanks to Mercury reentering Fire sign Aries.

Leo
The Moon is in Aquarius today, lighting up the relationship sector of your chart, but don't expect communication to go smoothly. Mercury retrogrades back into Aries today, and Pluto begins a retrograde of its own; the vibe is intense, and things might feel up in the air.

Virgo
Your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograde, which you're able to use to your benefit by taking time to slow down and reflect on your vision for your future. Mercury reenters Aries today, stirring up deep, sensitive issues—it's time to process things and find release.

Libra
The Aquarius Moon is illuminating the fun and romance sector of your chart, but intense vibes will flow today: Power planet Pluto begins its retrograde today, creating an intense energy at home, and Mercury retrogrades into Aries, stirring up communication issues in your relationships.

Scorpio
Your ruling planet, Pluto, begins its retrograde today, intensifying issues around communication. Messenger planet Mercury retrogrades back into Aries as well, so expect your schedule to become hectic or unpredictable throughout the rest of the month.

Sagittarius
The Moon is in Aquarius today, illuminating the communication sector of your chart, but don't expect things to run smoothly: Mercury is retrograde! Today, it will reenter fellow Fire sign Aries, shaking things up in your social life.

Capricorn
Pluto is a freaky planet: It's the lord of the underworld, and symbolizes death and rebirth. It's currently in your sign, and it will be there until 2024! Today, Pluto begins its retrograde journey, intensifying issues around power, control, and transformation.

Aquarius
The Moon is in your sign today, Aquarius! Make time for self-care. The Moon wants you to nurture yourself. Try to spend time around exciting people or read up on exciting things— but expect miscommunications or delays, as Mercury retrogrades into Aries today.

Pisces
Mercury retrogrades back into Aries today, stirring things up in the financial sector of your chart—double-check that you're sending money to the right person the next time you do a transfer and keep an eye on your wallet.
