Mercury Retrograde + New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse in Aries

On April 1st, Mercury stationed retrograde at 27º Aries, initiating a journey through the sign, which will last until April 25th, when it will station direct at 15º.

Whilst this may induce a sense of stickiness, there is meaning to this motion, as Mercury is merely trying to highlight the fact that in order to move forward, sometimes you have to go back.
