April 7, 2025 | Aries A♠️ Day | Mercury Direct at 7:08 AM EST
On the Life Spread, the A♠️ is the Pluto Card to the 8♦️, and today’s A♠️ energy completes the arc that began three weeks ago on the 8♦️ day. In Cardology, Pluto reveals what must die to be reborn. The A♠️ is the card of initiation, endings, death, soul-searching, and ultimately, spiritual power. The 8♦️, a card of mastery and material control, must surrender its grip to allow for a more profound transformation through the gateway of the A♠️.
But this layer becomes even more potent when we recognize that the A♠️ is the Yearly Pluto Card for the J♦️—the United States' Birth Card. In this context, Mercury’s retrograde has not only activated a personal Plutonic process but one for the collective American psyche. We’re witnessing, in real-time, the dismantling of old mental structures and narratives—those linked to security, home, and origin.
Mercury’s Journey: From Aries to Pisces, from Mind to Soul
Mercury began this retrograde at 9° Aries in the 3rd house, a place of mental action, immediate thought, and quick communication. In the United States chart, this transit landed near the 10th degree of its 4th house—the territory of ancestry, roots, and national identity. Mercury’s backward journey into Pisces took it into the 12th house—a realm of dreams, illusions, secrets, and soul memory. As it stations direct today at 26° Pisces, it brushes the earliest degrees of the U.S. 4th House once more, signaling a spiritual and psychological reckoning around the concept of “home.”
Pisces dissolves. It blurs the lines. And the 12th House speaks of closure and karmic loops. Mercury’s station here suggests that we are concluding something deeply subconscious—perhaps a cycle of avoidance, denial, or collective amnesia. What truths are surfacing now that were too murky or painful to confront three weeks ago?
The Uranus Period + a Nation’s Nervous System
The United States is currently in its Uranus Period—a time of disruption, innovation, rebellion, and truth-shocking clarity. Mercury, ruling communication, thought patterns, and nervous systems, stationing direct within this Uranian atmosphere is like striking a tuning fork. It could jolt clarity into something that had been clouded, awaken repressed realizations, or inspire radical new ways of interpreting what’s happening in our inner and outer worlds.
There may be mental or communicative breakthroughs now, especially around themes of safety, home, ancestry, and origin stories—both personal and national.
Ritual Suggestions to Integrate this Energy
Write a letter to your past self from three weeks ago. What has changed in your thinking or perception since March 15?
Cleanse your communication field. This could be clearing your inbox, updating your passwords, or setting energetic boundaries with conversations that drain you.
Engage in dreamwork or journaling. With Mercury stationing in Pisces and the 12th House, the unconscious is rich with guidance right now.
Final Thoughts
When Mercury goes direct, it doesn’t just move forward—it brings revelations. And on an A♠️ day, those revelations may feel like soul-level messages. Expect clarity to arrive with the quiet weight of truth. Trust what’s ending because it’s making way for something deeper, more authentic, and more aligned.
