Life—it's so complicated! Luckily, we have the stars to guide us…usually. Sometimes, the stars aren't so helpful, and you just have to sit, wait, and feel something out. Sometimes, you just have to be patient and accept that you won't always get the answers you want when you want them.Mercury was retrograde in March, testing your patience when it comes to relationships—but it was also a crucial time for you to rethink and renegotiate plans, ideas, and conversations. Mercury retrograde asks us to slow down, pause, and review. Mercury is direct now, but early April doesn't feel any clearer than March, thanks to Mercury meeting with hazy Neptune on April 2. When detail-oriented Mercury meets with the planet of fog, dreams, and illusions, we're better off writing poetry than solving equations. Think back to February 19 and March 24—issues that came up then will pop up again now. This is an especially sensitive time in your relationships, Virgo. Your partners might be hard to connect with, confused, exhausted, or hard to read—don't push for important, detail heavy conversations at this time. Instead, take things slow and offer an empathetic ear. A new cycle is beginning in your relationships, and now isn't the time to rush forward, but to stay still in contemplation and make room for quieter thoughts and emotions. You might not feel like the stars are guiding you at all because no answers have been given…but sometimes, stillness is exactly what you need.

Mercury enters Aries on April 17, finding you filling out paperwork you've been putting off, and the full moon (a blue moon!) in air sign Libra lands on April 19, bringing a situation concerning cash of self-worth that's been brewing to a climax.
