Mercury Retrograde- What is it? How can you sail through it?

Mercury retrograde occurs three times a year. Usually in the months of January–February, June–July, September–October.

Don’t make any important moves when Mercury is retrograde. Nothing will be settled successfully for the future during these periods anyway – you will find it nearly impossible to nail down a plan. During a retrograde period, it is hard to get decisions from others. Even if a decision is made, it will be subject to change, either just after Mercury turns to direct motion or much later.

Mercury Retrograde is in an air sign, Libra, so lots of discussion will need to take place, as air signs are highly communicative. Talk to a lot of people and poll their responses. Do a great deal of research, too. Air signs are analytical and modern – you may hear of a solution that is so new, you may not even have known it was possible. Use the answer that seems best for you after going through this process, and make sure you are objective and not emotional in choosing your answer.

The important thing is to look at the retrograde as a period of time to reflect, pause, and focus on self-care and communication. Think of this time as a forced "slow down" and get your goals and intentions back on track. Work on the existing projects that you have and make a plan for how to finish out 2021 STRONG!
