💡FAQ;💡What is Mercury retrograde?It's a change in the direction of the planet in the sky and is said to set off setbacks and tribulations. This movement is in fact a visual effect and begins when the planet commences its so-called backward motion in the night sky through the zodiac. So, no, Mercury's orbit of the sun won't change direction, because it's an optical illusion. This chaotic process includes the slowing down and eventual stagnation of the planet. It's this unnatural movement that creates so much uproar. Concretely, whilst in this stage, the planet will for example jump from Pisces back to Aquarius, plunging us into mayhem 💥. For astrologers, these phases coincide with major psychological changes. Due to the fact that the planet figuratively moves backward, its energy can no longer fully express itself, causing internal disturbances or slowdowns in many individuals.

💪 - Susan's top tips for survival during this period - 💪Don't create resistance - Whatever Mercury retrograde "makes difficult" may have a reason, and even if you don't realize it at the time, be receptive. Use your creativity to find a solution, or be open to what this new, unplanned path has to offer. Exercise your state of presence - As confusion is more common during this period, it's a good opportunity to practice doing one thing at a time and giving your full attention to what you're doing, which also promotes patience and reduces anxiety. Incorporate good humor - Things take on the weight we give them, so breathe (don't panic) and see that lightness is the best way forward. Some situations can be comical or dramatic, depending on how you look at them.

The impacts of this cycle depend on the position of the planet at our birth, but also on the sign the planet crosses during the retrograde. Plus, for the most sensitive amongst us, the effects of the retrograde can be felt before the phase begins and last a few days longer too.
