How fast have the last three weeks gone for you? They've certainly flown for me…ĭoes this help? Do let me know if you have any questions. Just use humour and common sense and you'll breeze right through it. Sounds scary? NAAAH! There are worse things to worry about in the world. SMOLDER (when the retrograde happens in Scorpio).Take our time to go inside and mull things over.Recalibrate any plans for our next move or target.Refine what we allow to go through our minds.Restart that project we put aside for a while.Reconnect with people from our past (just not your ex…).Pay special attention to the part of your chart that Mercury emphasizes three times during the retrograde there's an important lesson in there for you.Looking at things differently does amazing things for you if you're stuck in a rut Re-view, re-visit, and ultimately re-new.Pause and reflect – turn your attention inward to contemplate your inner truths with a fresh pair of eyes.Get long-standing projects re-started, finished, repaired or re-vitalized.How else are you going to get better in life if not through mistakes? Have a bit of a laugh when something goes wrong.Check, double check, and triple check anything important.Don't make any final decisions chances are, they won't be final anyway.Don't sign on the dotted line… at least, not yet, if you can wait.CHILL… This is not the end of the world and will only last three weeks.So what do we do if our natal placements are affected directly?

In 2022 these retrogrades begin in Air signs, but start shifting back into Earth signs, indicating a need to take practical steps forward in our lives after our 2021 epiphanies. It was time to start breathing again and look at things from a higher vantage point. In 2021 all the Mercury retrogrades were in Air signs, emphasizing a need to gain objectivity about what had just happened to the world.
In 2020 Mercury was retrograde in Water signs, marking a year of troublesome emotions. If Mercury, Gemini or Virgo are strong in your chart or ruler of the year for you, you may be affected by Mercury retrograde more than most. So, does it always cause mayhem in your life? Only if you have placements between the degrees it covers during the retrograde. Mercury goes retrograde three times (this year, four) a year, for three weeks each time. We all have parts of our lives with loose ends, clutter and energetic blocks. Mercury retrograde brings your attention to unfinished business.
