Mercury retrograde is back at it again!
Here is all you need to know about the pesky cosmic event and how you can prepare yourself.
Mercury retrograde started 21 April and will last until 14 May. Since Mercury is the planet of communication, when this little planet goes into retrograde, communication skills seem to fly out the window and technology becomes less reliable. It can make you feel out of control.
Although Mercury retrograde is seen as the bringer of bad news, it actually can be perceived as a good thing. It often forces us to into the finer details of a situation and to reassess problems in our lives.
The best way to minimise the chaos caused by Mercury retrograde would be to plan. By taking the time to plan your day, you leave more room for space that allows you to deal with a complicated situation in a timely manner. This can also help to minimise the possible damage it may cause and provide you with some to downtime to reflect.
Instead of viewing Mercury retrograde as a catalyst for negative events taking place in your life, ask why these things are taking place in the first place. Whether this manifests as a text from the ex who treated you badly saying “I want to get back together” or a fallout between your friends over something trivial, think about what you can do and how you can solve these issues with a new approach.
Mercury retrograde always tends to be chaotic time period, but it doesn’t have to be. Just give yourself the time and space to rethink things and everything will be alright!
