A change in status may be headed your way. Your hard work has been noticed. A recent evaluation has gone favorably. Rewards will soon be yours. Problems at home might be demanding right now. Deal with conflicts and end relationships that are no longer worth the heartache. Some personal time will help you flourish today. Take a short trip to visit family or old friends. Communicate with a woman you are close to. Those in creative professions will have a profitable day. A sudden email or phone call may alter the course of your day. Plan for future possibilities before you commit to any relationship or partnership.

Think before you speak! Communication planet Mercury turns retrograde from Saturday until April 7, a three-week period that can leave a bad aftertaste of shoe leather in your mouth. The messenger planet starts its retreat in Aries and your candid ninth house, then slips back into your secretive eighth house on March 29. Beware coming off as preachy or snarky, and don’t dole out advice unless someone asks. Even if they do, deliver it gently and don’t get overly enmeshed in helping them “fix” it. Divert your attention to a new project or behind-the-scenes research. Have you always wanted to learn how to cast jewelry or try roller derby? Map out a plan to immerse yourself after the retrograde passes. Don’t leap to conclusions on Sunday, Lion. You can’t take anything at face value now, so do some more sleuthing before you make the wrong call or cry uncle. You’re facing a complicated situation, and there are probably several people involved. Don’t get your news from the grapevine. Give everyone a chance to deliver their side of the story directly to you. Then, and only then, should you make a decision.
