No need to be so hard on yourself, dear Aquarius.

Lotto luck-and-riches planet Jupiter is lighting up your third house of communications. This means success in lights.

In your third house of communications you have an awesome array of planetary bodies! In here you have: the almighty, life-giving Sun; your planet revolutionary Uranus; brilliant Mercury; lotto lucky Jupiter; sexy Mars as of Saturday, April 2; an exciting new Moon on Sunday, April 3; and lovely Venus as of Thursday, April 21.  

Communications, the internet, media, publishing, writing, speaking and recording are all where it's at with you! You're the queen!

You are on a roll when it comes to YOUR WORD. Spoken or written, sung or recorded. This great effect lasts until June 4, so use it for all its worth!

The problem, of course, is thanks to Karma planet Saturn in your ninth house of publishing and foreign places, you've had to face more than a few challenges since the time of your birthday.

And - congratulations - you have met those challenges well and gracefully.

Well, it's heating up a little as March ends. Contacts could get fiery. Don't push if you're needing things from people at this time.

Or just be aware that - well, things can get fiery!

You have a lot of people to meet and greet this April, so keep your cool, whatever pressure you're under.

The pressure of - how should I say it - lack of a job is still upon you. Funding for your genius grant.

I keep getting the image of pearls for you in April, dear Aquarius.

How I interpret this for you, Aquarius, is pearls as tears. You will need to just cry it all out at some point this month. And it will be the BEST thing you could do. One session of tears, and all is cleared.

If you feel comfortable doing this now, please do - with my support.

Then there is T.S. Eliot's talk of a sea-change (he invented that term): "Those are pearls that were his eyes...." You will start to see everything very differently. It is time. It is time for a sea-change.  

Once you have done this, the last part of the pearl interpretation can be born. Which is pearls as pure and priceless.

This is YOU, dear Aquarius. You need to open your eyes to this. Yourself. You have such a rough image of yourself nowadays (it's crazy, although charming, to the rest of us - but basically senseless) and you are truthfully ridiculously refined.

In fact, if you'll allow me to say so, you are the true Princess and the Pea!

You know how smart you are, right? Acute? Aware? Sensitive?

Well...I don't want to spell it out to you, the sign of Genius!

So - your secret weapon this April? Act like a Libra. Claim your Princess and the Pea self.

Vulnerability is not a dirty word. Change does happen.

Because Mercury is also going retrograde in your third house of communications, there will be some opportunities for change here this April.

And a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations in your psyche. The torment your soul has had to bear.

You can play much more as a result, and this is perfect because Mercury retrograde is upon us!

Yes, 'tis the season of Mercury retrograde again - and remember, everyone goes through this - everyone on the planet - so be kind and compassionate to everyone out there.

It is a time to take a break, go zen, play a little. Because, for everyone, no matter how hard you try, business is not as usual.

The hardest thing is to have patience. But with patience, come the rewards!

This all happens for you in your third house of communications. Media, writing, magazines, recordings, you name it.

For everyone Mercury rules cell phones, as well as land lines, computers, cars, planes - and all thought and movement, including all forms of travel. He likes to go fast - he is the winged messenger who flies.

But he's going to be retrograding the first three weeks of April.

If you are traveling during this time - even in your car - just relax.

You will be noticing how travel is delayed, phones aren't working properly, and everyone keeps changing times on you.

The official day Mercury goes retrograde is Wednesday, March 30. This lasts - for everyone in the world - until Saturday, April 23.

You need to be aware that you could lose or misplace things - such as your wallet, your phone - cars break down - appointments are forgotten or broken - and the ordered universe generally goes awry.

The good news? It only lasts three weeks!

Mercury particularly affects electronics and any form of travel. Back up your computer files. Mercury rules all forms of communications, including, from the 1940's, computers. Computers go wonky during Mercury retrograde, as do phones, and anything that has to do with communication.

The work you can do?   

RE-trograde means to go backwards. The past becomes very powerful. You can re-examine it. Old people pop up in your life.

A great deal of healing is possible at this time. Mercury, after all, also rules healing.  

Retrograde rules all the RE-words.

See, Aquarius, which of these REsonate with YOU:

Reduce, recycle, remix, repurpose, recreate, repair, refresh, reinvigorate, refine, redo, reinvent, recommit, refocus, revive, reconnect, reuse, reform, rejoice, re-evaluate, relive, rethink, renew, reorder, regnerate, respect, reactivate, rearrange, reclaim, revisit, relate

Reciprocate

Receive

Reconstruct, revise, re-engage, rewind

Release, recruit, rewrite, respond, reflect, review, relieve, rebound, remember, reward, reface, reassign, reinforce, rework, revere, refuel, regain

Regard, reinterpret, reconsider, re-educate, repeat.

And, finally, RE-lax. It's really the best thing you can do during a Mercury retrograde. Not to get, as the English say, your knickers in a twist, if things don't go according to plan. That's life!

All becomes crystal clear after April 23, so just hang in there - and try to have fun! What else can you do? With travel tangles and pressurized deadlines you will rise to the occasion and show everyone what a true princess you are. Everyone will appreciate you. You are truly adored.
