What Mercury in Aries means for you
With Mercury in Aries, you think in short, clear points.
You get to the point quickly and you say what others are afraid to say. Your first idea is often your best one, and you usually know it before anyone else agrees.
You enjoy a debate as if it were a sport. You may finish other people’s sentences. You do not mean to be rude. You can simply see where they are going. Long explanations, slow emails and unnecessary meetings test your patience every day.
Love
Your messages are short, warm and fast. You prefer to call rather than write a long message. You flirt through teasing and playful challenges. You want partners to tell you clearly what is wrong. Hints and silent treatment make you very frustrated. Wait a moment before you send an angry reply. Your intentions are kind, but your words can sound harder than you mean.
Work & money
You do well where speed matters: pitching, crisis calls, brainstorming, sales and journalism with tight deadlines. You turn a vague discussion into a decision. Long reports and small print are your weak points. Write the first draft fast, then wait before you send it. Ask a careful colleague to read anything you will sign.
