That legendary bluntness of yours could leave a mark today, Aries. Outspoken Mercury links up with retrograde Venus in your sultry eighth house, and your words will land with more force than usual. Plenty of people appreciate your straight-shooting style, but the more tender types in your life need a gentler delivery. Lead with what’s working before you get to what isn’t, and they’ll actually hear you. This alignment also adds some sizzle to the day, so let things heat up romantically. With Venus moving backward, an old favorite move from your shared history could spark more fireworks than anything new.
