Hi Everybody,
Do you feel like everything has been going haywire for the last few weeks? Perhaps you’ve experienced misunderstandings in communications, or things not going as planned. Well there is a pretty good explanation for that and it’s called Mercury Retrograde. The good news it that it only lasts for about three weeks, the bad news is that it happens several times a year.
So. . . what the heck is Mercury Retrograde anyway? Well its basically when the planet mercury appears to be going backwards in the sky( though it really isn’t). This happens with other planets as well, but mercury is the biggest trouble maker.
Each planet in the sky represents some aspect of our lives. Mercury is the planet of communication. During this time period expect misunderstandings, miscommunications, misinterpretations, possible arguments, and hurt feelings. So if you are planning on having a difficult conversation you may want to wait.
This is also a time when event’s and and plans can also go poorly partially because of all the miscommunications. So best not to make big plans, or purchases . I moved during a Mercury Retrograde and it was awful lol. Don’t worry I will list below all of the Mercury Retrogrades for this year.
1/5/16-1/25/16
4/8/16-5/22/16
8/30/16-9/22/16
12/19/16-1/8/17
Their is a bright side to Mercury Retrograde. If things for you have been stagnant for a time this energy cat test to get things moving in a positive direction. So it’s not all bad 🙂
So when you are going through a Mercury Retrograde remember these things:
- Don’t make major plans, or have major conversations
- Be clear, think before you speak
- Dot your i’s and cross your t’s
- Try to keep calm
One last thing to consider is that Mercury retrograde affects different people in different ways. Some people feel the effects a bit earlier, and if you are a Virgo or a Gemini you may feel things even more intensely. Mercury is the ruling planet for those two signs.
