The Weirdness Explained: Mercury Retrograde
Astrology,
in simple terms, is based on the simple understanding that each of the planets that make up our solar system exert their own unique influence on us and the world we live in.
So when Mercury appears to be moving in an opposite motion when viewed from Earth, it’s no surprise that life might feel a little backwards.
Gear up everyone, because Mercury, the ruler of communication, began its retrograde on July 25th and will continue until August 18th . It is moving through the fiery sign of Leo, which has a volatile and dynamic influence that may affect the areas we are most passionate about.
Mercury retrograde affects all types of communication-- from verbal and written to online communication.
Maybe Mercury retrograde is just a time for us to take a step back and relax from our busy, hectic lives and thoroughly focus on matters at hand. Use it to curate deeper thoughts and understandings about a subject, issue, idea, or plan.
Whether your communication skills are simply lacking or things are feeling all sorts of wacky during this time, at least we can seek validation through one thing-- Mercury retrograde. Happy retrograde!
