ARIES & ARIES RISING

Edit your love letters — Mercury is about to station retrograde. Over the next few weeks, you may find that communication in your committed connections is a little frayed around the edges. Expressing your needs, or hearing out another’s, could feel like a game of telephone. The antidote? Parsing your passions down to a few key points. Streamline your requests so they get straight to the heart. If you keep your messages simple, they’ll be less likely to get lost in the mail.
