The truth shall set you free, Aries. Today’s revealing trine between the moon and communicative Mercury has you expressing yourself with no filters. You’re more devoted than ever to authenticity, unlikely to give voice to what others want to hear. But keep your dignity intact and air your concerns from your heart so that others don’t feel attacked.
