What effects do most people feel?
During Mercury Retrograde, it may feel as though you can’t find the path of least resistance … in thoughts, movement, expression or travel. You endure dicey conversations or get stuck in unexpected traffic jams. After an hour of trying to explain what you mean to your spouse, you give up frustrated. Don’t be surprised if you often feel tangled, trapped, thwarted or confused during this period. As the word “retrograde” alludes to “re-do” or “re-think,” the theme of retrofitting or redoing can also come up for you. In that sense, you may find a need to reinforce your life with more intentionality — strengthen relationships, repeat instructions and rebuild foundations.
