Mercury in Retrograde
What Does this mean for you?
Bad omens are placed on this planet when in retrograde, not always true. During this time it is a chance to go within a
reflect. This planet governs all transportation and communication issues. It is a rather a highly objective, truth seeking
and it rules intelligence, education and truth. Usually the effects are felt days to weeks ahead of the retrograde.
What does retrograde mean? This is when the planet appears to have stopped and then temporarily reverses its
regular movement through the sky. The planet then goes retrograde/backwards. After a certain period of time, each
planet is different time length, the planet then appears to once again stop and reverse its movement through the sky.
Then it goes direct and is back on its normal cyclic path through the sky. Some things that can happen when in
retrograde with this planet are: missed appointments, computer problems, mail gets returned, things get lost in the mail
and things just get lost, problems with all transportation, communications are down - including verbal. This is a time
not to sign contracts or to start new projects, jobs, ideas, etc. You might run into someone from the past, usually to
clear unresolved issues. Two astrological signs are governed by this planet are Gemini and Virgo. So if you think we
have a difficult time during retrograde, these two signs have it harder. This is a very good time to reflect inward and
do clearing work. Since this time things slow up - by removing the old to make way for the new. As soon as the planet
comes direct, things will speed up. Sit back and remove the old to make way for the new.
Mercury is retrograde for 24 days and stationary for approx. 3 days
