Pisces: Mercury’s shift into fiery Aries can point out areas in your social interactions where you let others steer the conversation completely instead of taking turns. Sure, we all know that you are a wonderful listener, but if you leave every conversation feeling unheard, one must wonder what the point was in the first place. Practice being a little more assertive in the mirror if you have to. The moon in your sign on the 8th can help to bring this idea full circle. You have valuable things to say.
