Not all zodiac signs experience Mercury retrograde in the same way. Here is your way of experiencing this period according to your sign.
- Aries when Mercury retrograde...: This poses a big problem for Aries who is more rushed and nervous than the other signs. He will waste a lot of energy getting angry.
- Taurus: This is an opportunity for Taurus to go at a slower pace and he appreciates it. He who likes to take his time, will finally have it for himself.
- Gemini: Very impatient, Gemini has difficulty supporting Mercury's retrograde. It will therefore be one of the most affected signs.
- Cancer: While Cancer can give in to negative emotions when faced with delays or bugs due to Mercury retrograde, they prefer to be philosophical about the slowness of the moment.
- Leo: Feeling helpless, the Lion is no less combative when his projects are delayed or even hindered.
- Virgo: The retrograde of Mercury is the cause of great tension for Virgo, who tolerates delays much better than domestic breakdowns. Be careful, household appliances risk being stolen!
- Libra: Everything is fine for Libra, they know how to show goodwill during this period of retrograde, as long as it does not affect their friendly or romantic relationships. Otherwise, she risks seeing red.
- Scorpio: Daily life under Mercury retrograde will be very complicated for a Scorpio who hates when something resists him. It may explode more than once!
- Sagittarius: If Sagittarius is generally in a hurry, he can still take advantage of this slow period to obtain additional deadlines... clever!
- Capricorn: Capricorn hates surprises and not everything going as planned. This period will therefore make him angry. Nervous tension will be at its maximum.
- Aquarius: Aquarius is one of the signs that best resists Mercury retrograde. Which is not to say that he is never affected by outages or delays, and in this case, he takes it as a personal affront.
- Pisces: Empathetic, Pisces' emotions depend a lot on the surrounding atmosphere. If everyone is stressed and angry, they will feel bad too.
5 Things You Should Not Do While Mercury Retrogrades
No way, don't even think about it and wait until Mercury becomes direct again!
1. Repair your car If you have a long drive to do, have your car serviced before Mercury retrograde. Repairs could take time during this time, not to mention the transportation issues associated with this downgrade. Public transport breakdowns or strikes, traffic jams, missed planes or trains. Organize your travels well!
2. Make a major purchase Finances should be monitored closely during Mercury retrograde. Monitor your accounts and especially your expenses. If you make a major purchase during this period, you may regret it (manufacturing defect, item you no longer like, etc.) Breakdowns are very common during Mercury retrograde.
3. Sign contracts You might miss some details and there is a greater risk of making mistakes. Likewise, avoid weddings during this period.
4. Send messages Mercury retrograde plays on communication. To avoid lost emails or text messages sent to the wrong person, there's nothing like a real phone call to communicate. Check that the messages you sent have gone through before you get angry.
5. Speak without thinking Turn your tongue in your mouth seven times before speaking, at the risk of expressing a thought that is beyond you. If it's too late, wait until Mercury becomes direct again to explain.
