Divination Tips for Mercury in Aries: Bold Moves Ahead
April 12, 2025 | Miriam Slozberg
The cosmic energy shifts towards direct, fearless, and action-oriented communication on April 7th. That is because Mercury goes direct in Aries on that date. Mercury is the thinking and talking planet, and in Aries, the fiery pioneer of the zodiac, it gets electrified. This transit grants quick thinking, decisive action, and fearless speaking. Intuitive messages pop quicker, and self-doubts are pushed away by bold confidence. Mercury in Aries provides immediate tarot insights and divination tools for practitioners of divination. Here, you will get a step-by-step process of exploiting this dynamic energy toward decisive divination. Let’s begin with tarot.
Tarot: Go With Your Gut
Mercury in Aries is all about trusting instincts and moving fast. When working with tarot during this transit, lean into an intuitive, quick-fire approach rather than overthinking every card. Here’s how:
One-Card Readings: Aries energy favors simplicity. Instead of doing long spreads, pull one card for quick and straightforward guidance. Let your first impression guide you before diving into complex interpretations.
Yes/No Questions: Use tarot for direct answers by assigning upright cards as “yes” and reversals as “no.” This method aligns with Aries’ decisive nature.
Speed Readings: Set a timer and give yourself only a few minutes to interpret a spread. This will encourage intuitive decision-making without overthinking.
Action-Oriented Spreads: Try spreads focusing on the next steps rather than passive reflection. For example, a three-card spread could represent (1) The Situation, (2) The Action to Take, and (3) The Outcome.
By keeping tarot readings simple and bold, you align with Mercury in Aries’ energy and make quick, fearless decisions. Now, let’s look at how you can use the pendulum.
A pendulum is an excellent tool during Mercury in Aries, as it gives you direct yes/no answers. How to maximize your pendulum work: don’t rush into anything. Clear your mind. Mercury is in fast-moving Aries. Therefore, take a deep breath before using your pendulum to ensure you’re not rushing or allowing impulsive thoughts to interfere.
Ask a direct question: Avoid fuzzy or two-part questions. Use the questions such as, “Should I take this job?” or “Is this decision in my best interest?”
Trust the First Swing: Your pendulum will move fast under Aries. Don’t second-guess; just go with the first move that comes up.
Get a Pendulum Board: If you need to know more than “yes” or “no,” there is a simple fix. You can operate with a pendulum board that can contain keywords like “Go,” “Wait,” and “Change Direction.” This resonates with Aries because these are action-word answers.
With a pendulum, Mercury in Aries helps you make firm choices. It also helps you eliminate vacillation and keep the momentum going gracefully. Now, let’s explore how you can use runes.
Runes: Fearless Guidance in One Toss
Runes, the ancient symbols of wisdom, blend in very well with Mercury in Aries’ directness. Instead of elaborate casting methods, keep things simple and powerful:
Pull One Rune: Similar to the one-card tarot pull, one rune pulled offers a fast insight. Aries energy thrives on swift answers, so let the meaning of the rune speak for itself.
Runes for Action: Again, draw runic inspirations that foster transition, like Raido, signaling journey; Tiwaz for victory; or Sowilo, success. These blend fittingly with Aries’ fired-up nature.
Throwing the Runes: This is different because, instead of placing the runes carefully, they are thrown into the air. The ones landing closest to your body represent those messages that most urgently need communication.
Rune Bindings: Mercury in Aries is purely about bold innovation. Therefore, it’s an excellent time to create your own bind runes-combinations of runes with a specific outcome in mind.
Working with runes during this transit helps you embrace clarity and move forward fearlessly with their ancient wisdom. Now, let’s explore automatic writing.
Automatic Writing: Fast and Fiery Messages
Since Mercury in Aries accelerates thought processes, the work with automatic writing can become powerful. Here’s how to work with this technique during the transit:
Set a Timer: Give yourself only 5–10 minutes to write non-stop. This prevents overthinking, allowing Aries’ impulsive energy to flow through you.
Use Fire-Related Prompts: Begin with such cues as “What do I need to take action on?” or “What bold step should I take?”. Those will help you harness Aries’ fearless energy.
Don’t Edit as You Write: Aries is about action, not perfection. Let the words flow without stopping to fix mistakes.
Read It Out Loud: After you write, read your words aloud to feel the power of your own voice. That is how you gain clarity as to what messages came through.
Automatic writing when Mercury is in Aries uses fast-moving, unfiltered wisdom. It places you directly into insights such as the following. Let’s explore scrying.
Scrying is gathering images or symbols by gazing into reflective surfaces like water, crystal balls, or mirrors. Mercury in Aries adds to this practice, urging speediness in capturing the symbols.
Use a Candle Flame: Fire is said to be the ruler of Aries; using candle scrying will be very effective. Gaze into the flame and allow images or messages to appear in your mind.
Trust that First Impression: The first impression tends to be the most meaningful. Aries energy is fast-moving, so honor what initially comes without overthinking.
Short Sessions: Short your scrying sessions, 5 to 10 minutes maximum, to resonate with Aries’ accelerated energy.
Act Immediately on Messages: Aries does not waste time, so act immediately when you receive a vision or insight.
Mercury in Aries makes for spontaneous, fearless intuition, thus suitable for quick guidance.
Key Takeaway
Mercury in Aries is fearless communication, swift decisions, and bold insights. This transit asks us to make no hesitation and trust our gut instincts. It can be with tarot cards, pendulums, runes, automatic writing, or whatever you choose. Just go with the flow with quick, assured motions. Your first instinct probably is the correct one.
Embracing Mercury in Aries, the energy of choice, messages, and spiritual practice actions becomes truly powerful, fiery, and direct. Take this period to hone your divination skills and leverage Aries’s courage for bold steps ahead.
The Universe loves the brave-so step forward, queen, and let Mercury in Aries guide you toward decisive, inspired action.
