The Sun already moved into the sign of Aries on March 20 and Mercury races now to catch up with him. Mercury flies into Aries and his speediness may manifest in our individual lives here on Earth through thought, speech, actions and/or reactions…
As noted previously, Aries is an energy that throws it out there and waits to see what comes back. This is how those who carry a lot of Aries energy in their makeup learn: through other’s reactions.
When Mercury flies into Aries, speech may be rapid fire, full of passion, anger, and capable of moving and/or inciting others. For those who are cerebral, Mercury in Aries can lead us down a lot of labyrinthine highways and bi-ways as our neurons and synapses explode with activity.
However, when that activity is not followed up by will or purpose it can find itself getting jammed. The thoughts that traverse neurons and jump synapses fast and furiously may have little concern for clarity or diplomacy, so intent are they only on being heard.
Without a motivation, Mercury in Aries becomes like Don Quixote flailing his sword at tilting windmills.
If you’re going to bother to think, then Mercury’s move into Aries represents an excellent time to put your thoughts into action. Mercury in Aries—the god of communication in the archetypal sign of expression of the personal will–can get the job done!
Carpe Diem!
When Mercury flies into Aries, seize the day! Try to make the most of it! If lightning strikes in the form of a cerebral idea, don’t lose it or let it wash away with the tides of inaction. If thoughts come fast and furious, jot them down, record them, or in some way capture them. It’s the excitement—the passion—of this energy you want to capture in your words.
If you have other creative abilities, Mercury in Aries is useful to you there, as well. Expressed positively, Mercury in Aries can aid the creative process and help channel down those ideas for action.
Sit down at the piano, pull out your easel and paints, get on the dance floor, haul out your camera and maybe take more than just a few selfies, haha…
When this energy plays out negatively, however, it’s more than likely because somewhere else in our lives we have blocked Aries energy. This kind of repression of the ability to express our individual personal will—or our desire to act, speak, create–can mean that our own repressed WILL is projected out and comes back at us from the outside in the form of another or others’ assertive words or actions.
Likewise, if you have energetically porous boundaries, as do many authors, creatives, and intuitives, Mercury going through Aries may allow you to pick up too much of other people’s animosity. Then, in frustration, because you don’t know what to do with this negative energy, YOU may act out the lower side of Aries, including allowing it to implode into depression…
Low side Aries energy expresses as fatigue, depression, anger, overly aggressive words or behavior, overly sexual behavior, and violent actions–whether such violence is perpetrated against oneself, others, or both.
Best Ways To Express When Mercury Flies Into Aries…
Mercury in Aries often presents us with a double-edged sword. When energy is expressed freely and without restraint we can accomplish something. This, in turn, usually makes us feel good.
Taking action may be important, but just as important should be consideration of who either stands in the way of that action, or who may be harmed by virtue of our taking such action.
Our lives are our choice. How we express ourselves and how we utilize Mercury in Aries energy doesn’t have to play out negatively through temper tantrums, arguments, moving too fast and causing an accident, or saying things we don’t really mean in the heat of the moment…
Here in the U.S. we have a right to express ourselves under the First Amendment of our Constitution. But the U.S. Supreme Court decided long ago that we do not have the right to scream “fire!” in a crowded theater and thereby cause a stampede that might result in harm to others.
Channeling our messages in ways others want to see, hear, participate in, or act on, them is far more conducive to letting Aries energy flow having them positively received…
Namaste…
Since Mercury is also in the sign of Capricorn from December 18, 2014 until January 6, 2015, you may be doubly less than forgiving of your perceived imperfections… 
The key lies in Capricorn’s opposite zodiac polarity: Cancer! Cancer is the sign of the mother, sensitivity, compassion, roots, family, tradition, and security. What those born under the sign of Capricorn–or who possess a preponderance of heavy Saturnine energy–need most is nurturing.
