You may not hear many gentle words of love now, but at least you’ll know exactly what’s on your partner’s mind. Mercury in Aries is blunt and to the point, punctuating words with action. Communication becomes an adventure, as you venture headfirst into new terrain, exploring the unknown with courage and confidence.
Flirting comes easily during this transit, as you are more inclined to take risks and experiment with new ways of connecting with others. Sassy though not all that sweet, Mercury in Aries offers the opportunity to bring transparency and openness into your relationships.
Of course, Aries is also the sign of war, so conflicts may arise now that demand to be faced head-on. Try not to run from battle, but rather confront issues that come up and tackle them one at a time. It may take a little heated debate before you and your partner can see eye-to-eye, but it’s important that you work through the conflicts rather than avoid them.
If you feel like you’re spending more time fighting than making up as Mercury moves through Aries, you may need to temper your position and try to see things from the other person’s point of view. You can run into problems if you let the Aries fire get out of control, so make sure you’re tending a steady flame, rather than creating a blaze that could ultimately burn your house down.
