When Mercury goes into retrograde, it slows down in speed with its
rotation around the sun. With the planet slowing down it gives the
appearance of moving backwards instead of forwards, due to the other
plants maintaining their same rotational speed. Mercury is known as the
"Messenger" and is all about communication. Many people panic when they
hear that Mercury is in Retrograde and with good reason.
Communication is the keyword when it comes to a Mercury Retrograde. As
if the past few weeks we haven't had it rough enough with how
misunderstandings can occur, Mercury is upping the ante. You will need
to be very selective with your words in order to communicate effectively
with others. Those words or buttons you accidentally push with others
won't be overlooked during this time period and could cause
disagreements, misunderstandings and the lose of relationships on all
levels.
You will notice that there may be delays with things you expect to
arrive, people or decisions being made by others. Also it is advised not
to sign any contracts during these days as your thinking will be
different when the retrograde is over and they also say it's the same
for getting engaged or married. If you think frustration with
electronics is an issue outside of the retrograde, this is a time when
cell calls will get disconnected, your computer may act up and many
disturbance will be noticed with other electronic equipment.
So you know what to look for and how to avoid the effects of the
Mercury Retrograde, we will break it down into astrological signs. If
you are on the cusp with your birth date, merge the two signs.
Remember... Just because Mercury Retrograde has these possible effects
on you, especially with communications, doesn't mean it can be used as
an excuse if you are consciously aware and take the steps to prevent it.
Aries Watch communication in regard to your job and
health. You may also want to avoid conversations about intimacy with
your partner at this time. You may see delays in money received and pay
attention to your finances. Don't overspend and take the time to rethink
other areas of your life.
Taurus Communications will be difficult with lovers
and children. You may have old romantic conversations come up. Make sure
that you pay attention to what is being said and the meaning behind the
words, not just the words itself or the relationship could end. Do not
over react during these discussions. An ex lover may resurface during
this time. Be careful with your communications with them and again
listen to what is being meant when they speak and not the words used.
Pay attention to your finances and rethink before signing contracts or
making agreements with partners.
Gemini Mercury Retrograde effects how other people
perceive you and communications are can be off with family members
especially. Watch conversations and decisions made in regard to home and
domestic issues. Put them off until later, especially if it has to do
with family. Watch your health and dietary programs during this time and
speak clearly when it comes to your health providers. Work may be a
challenge. Do not be judgmental when it comes to your co-workers and the
work you do. Some may want to seek another job, but it is best to wait
on making any decisions. You may also need to redo some of your own
work.
Cancer Communication is really effected with romantic
partners and children if you have any. Do not over react, jump to
conclusions prematurely or make any decisions in regard to either during
this time. You may become frustrated with your partner or children
during this time, and will want to bring up past issues. Take the time
to rest on them until Mercury goes direct. Things with your partner may
appear to be dull, so instead take this to to rethink how you can change
the relationship instead of calling it quits. After the retrograde, you
may regret it.
Leo Be careful with your personal finances and you may
become frustrated with friends or group events. Friends will have a
tendency to have you on the edge with what they say. During this time
you should brush it off. If you made plans to meet with groups of
people, they may be delayed or cancelled. Decisions with your home
remodeling, repairs or purchasing a new one may be best to wait, as they
may not turn out as planned.
Virgo Communication will effect you in all areas. Pay
attention to your own body language, as what you speak will not coincide
with how you act. People will misunderstand you if you don't think
prior to speaking. This includes on the phone, in person, texts, emails,
letters, etc. Also if you are speaking to the public, also choose your
words wisely. If you are just causally speaking to another, be careful
what you say may come back on you. You may notice that your letters are
getting lost, emails not received and even transportation issues are
likely during this time. Make the extra time to leave early for
appointments. Remember that others will misunderstand your words, so
review prior to speaking, sending out letters or any work that involves
writing.
Libra Extra care is called for when dealing with legal
issues, finances and travel. Communications will be off for you in
these areas. Do not solidify travels plans during this time and watch
your spending. Do not purchase anything major or on a whim at this time.
Restructuring your spending habits during this time and after would be
beneficial for you. Things from your past may resurface that will need
your attention. Use caution in how you handle these matters, especially
when it comes to legal matters and finances. Be caeful of someone trying
to deceive you at this time or possibly working against you.
Scorpio Communication may be difficult with friends,
groups of people and those with joint financial matters. Others may
claim you are isolating yourself a bit, you seem distant, or you will
notice that they are misunderstanding you. Pay attention to your body
language during this time and your facial expressions when speaking to
others. The words you speak during this time should have you take a step
back to really think if what you are saying is actually helping or
hindering you. We all know the Scorpio can sting with their words and
decisions, but is it best at this time. You are the one who will be out
of sorts... Not the others you deal with.
Sagittarius Communication could be strained when it
comes to your career or those you are intimate with. Heated discussions
could occur if it pertains to your finances, your personal life or your
inner thoughts. Make sure that if you do express yourself, be careful
the words you choose and be clear with what you say so there is no
misinterpretation. It may be best to not bring things up or discuss them
during this time. Wait until Mercury goes direct.
Capricorn Communication will be very tricky for you
during this time period with travel, legal matters, your opinions, at
work and with coworkers. You will really need to think before you speak
or you could be isolated by those you do communicate with. It is best to
not sign any binding contracts at this time or setting any travel plans
as you may change your mind after. Group meetings or events you may be
postponed or cancelled. You may see an old acquaintance or feel the need
to contact one. There is a green light here for you to do so.
Aquarius Communications are greatly effected when it
comes to children, intimate conversations, romantic partners and
financial issues. Be careful if taking out a loan at this time and
possibly rethink how you spend your money or acquire it. Is there a way
to restructure? Speaking with the public at this time needs to be very
precise and clear so there are no misunderstandings. Your own thinking
may even be clouded at the moment. Some of you may be considering
changes within your life, both small and large. This is a great time to
consider the path you wish for, but it is advised on waiting to actually
make these changes until Mercury goes direct. Many Aquarians are aware
of this and may actually just sit back to observe.
Pisces Your communication in regard to family, home,
partners and partnerships may be complicated if not cause complications
during this time. Expressing your opinions with others can come over the
wrong way with those you speak with now, so take extra precautionary
measures to what what you say and how you say it. Travel plans may be
delayed during this time and it is advised to leave earlier if planning
on making appointments or arriving at your destination on time. If
dealing with lawyers or signing contracts, be very clear with your
approach and words.
It is best advised that during the Mercury Retrograde, all
signs think before speaking and major decisions should be well thought
out before finalizing. Everyone's perception is a bit off and who wants
to be misunderstood? Remember that once words are spoken... they can't
be taken back...
