I now have an official ‘mercury retrograde budget’. Mercury rules technology, short trips and communications of all kinds. If you have mercury in Gemini OR the sign it actually retrogrades), prepare to be more affected. Mercury is known as the trickster of the zodiac – its ruler is Gemini the twins, an air sign with duality. Friends you’ve not heard from for years can drop into your life and back out again just as quickly.

If it looks like rain – pack an umbrella! If you speed you’ve been warned. Bringing in a paradox, you may find just the piece of information you’ve been looking for.Īstrology should be used like a weather forecast. I like to work with the energy of Mercury Retrograde as a time to slow down and organise my life, re-connecting with old friends.Įmotions are at extremes of highs and lows. If you’re an empath you’ll feel planet mercury’s shift – almost knowing when it’s about to occur without looking at the dates. Just like my dog knows when it’s dinner time. You can often feel the effects of Mercury a week before it starts – when it turns ‘direct’ things can feel on slow-mo. Mercury Retrograde is no secret, boasting the most famous of all retrograding planets – The NSW Police Force even added a meme to their Facebook page on Mercury Retrograde! Three times a year for approximately three weeks, mercury goes retrograde – When the planet of communication turns retrograde it slows down and appears to go backwards or more to the point becomes a pain your backside. The past can often surface, showing us what isn’t working during retrogrades with new ways to move forward. For example: revising your website or editing a book you’ve been working on.

New information can be absorbed during a retrograde. When a planet is retrograde, it’s closest to earth (gravity). Jupiter brings luck, Saturn helps us move through limitations. The moon affects the tides and our emotions, with mercury governing our communication.
