Into the Stars - Mercury Retrograde

Hello Everyone! Today we are concluding our final astrology post. Mercury Retrograde! Mercury Retrograde is probably the only retrograde that you know of, but several planets have them as well. Today I will be explaining what Mercury Retrograde is, what happens during it, and why it is not so bad after all.

    That is a picture of beautiful Mercury above, but let's get into some astrology. So, what exactly does retrograde even mean? Retrograde or "retrogradus" in Latin means "backward step." So, essentially Mercury is no longer moving directly. When this happens you can expect delays while traveling, technology to act up, and communicating may be harder due to a lack of true understanding. This is why it gets a bad rep because we are usually traveling, communicating, and using technology daily. When there are problems with these things, it calls for extreme frustration amongst the majority. However, I believe that Mercury RX (retrograde) is not as bad after all. It just forces us to make sure we are taking our time, double-checking things, and being patient with ourselves as well as others. When you are doing this when we are not expericing them, it will be easier. We only experience them about 3-4 times a year, so you have ample time to work on your patience when Mercury is direct.
