Experiencingmiscommunications?Traveldelays?
Mercury retrogradeis an astrological phenomenon where the planet Mercury appears to move backward in its orbit from Earths perspective.
This optical illusion occurs because of the relative speeds ofEarthand Mercury as they orbit the Sun.
Astronomically, Mercury retrograde happens three to four times a year and lasts about three weeks each time.
In astrology, Mercury is said to rule communication,technology, travel, and certain thought processes.
During retrograde periods,astrologersbelieve it may cause misunderstandings and disruptions to certain plans.
Mercury is the planet of communications.
So its also movement and travel.
It does have a reputation for causing chaos, Julian admitted.
The combination of Sagittarius and the retrogradation may negatively impact ones journey.
Mercury retrograde is notorious for causing travel delays or disruptions, Erika toldBored Pandain an email.
Be prepared for plans to change or for unexpected obstacles to arise, especially with international or long-distance travel.
She continued: Sagittarius is associated with higherlearning and knowledge.
Sagittarius is all about big-picture thinking, philosophies, and personal truths.
During this retrograde, conversations around these topics might get heated or confusing.
Sagittarius is a sign known for its restless energy and desire for freedom.
Sagittarius values honesty, but Mercury retrograde might cause truth to get lost in translation.
Luckily it was found in a cafe just in time before take-off!
Virgos and Geminis are strongly affected by Mercury retrograde, Julian exclaimed.
Sagittarius and Pisces are also affected in possibly not-so-good ways.
Gemini and Virgo can be affected in good ways because Mercury is the ruler of those two zodiacs.
All signs are affected but particularly those ruled by mercury such as Gemini and Virgo, Rosa said.
Aries may find it harder to express their thoughts clearly, leading to arguments or misunderstandings.
Double-check travel and work plans.
Rosa: Aries are ruled by the action planet Mars.
They can become more stressed and frustrated than usual.
Taurus
Erika: Financial hiccups or confusion about personal values could arise.
It is a good time to reevaluate spending habits or delayed investments.
Rosa: Taurus loves routine and cannot stand change unless they are in control.
They can become angry or stubborn.
Gemini
Erika: Mercury is also Geminis ruling planet, so retrogrades can feel chaotic.
Miscommunications in social and professional life are likely.
Rosa: Gemini generally finds positivity but may become more disorganized.
Rosa: Cancer, like the crab retreats, and becomes even more moodier than usual.
Leo
Erika: Creative projects and self-expression might face setbacks.
Old issues in relationships could resurface, challenging Leos pride.
Rosa: Leo loves to take center stage.
Anything that dims their limelight = DRAMA.
Virgo
Erika: Since Mercury rules Virgo, this sign feels retrograde deeply.
Expect delays, misunderstandings, and stress about details.
Rosa: Virgo despises disorder and chaos and goes into mental overdrive.
Libra
Erika: Relationship misunderstandings or unresolved conflicts could arise.
Rosa: Libra the peoples person may feel alone and isolated.
Scorpio
Erika: Hidden truths or unresolved emotional matters might surface.
Retrograde could be transformative, urging introspection and self-honesty.
Sagittarius
Erika: Travel disruptions are common for this adventurous sign during Mercury retrograde.
Rosa: Sagittarius loves to go, go, go and may experience difficulty getting around.
Capricorn
Erika: Career plans might stall or require revision.
Rosa: Capricorn the executive sign refuses to be rattled and presses the reset button.
Quoting We are where we are.
Aquarius
Erika: Technology mishaps may disrupt Aquarians; futuristic plans.
Rosa: Aquarius the innovator loves a challenge but may become even more quirkier and eccentric than usual.
Pisces
Erika: Dreams and intuition may feel muddled.
Rosa: Pisces floats into a fantasy world until its over.
Life cannot be on hold for these periods of time.
Double-check details: whether its contracts, plans, or emails, pay close attention to details.
Stay flexible: allow extra time for delays and be patient with others.
Julian: Its a good idea to reconsider things, to take your time before making a decision.
Do not discount something completely, but just take your time with it.
Because at the moment, its mutable signs.
So the mutable signs are all about adaption, variation, flow, and change.
So the best thing you could say right now is go with the flow.
Literally, just go with the flow.
Dont stick in the mud and say, Well, thats it.
Ive got to be this.
Leave more time for travel in general.
Never sign a contract during, just before, or just after Mercury retrograde if possible.
When sending emails or any correspondence dot the Is and cross the ts.
Triple-check before pressing Send.
Avoid getting into arguments.
Carry on with your life with some extra caution.
