This effect touches everyone and everything. It’s as if there is a kink in the information pipeline from us to the outside world. In retrograde, the normally outflowing energy of Mercury turns inward. Mercury is the messenger of the Universe and when running smoothly, delivers our messages in a timely, organized manner. It not only helps you create the perfect Instagram caption to share your thoughts but also helps their transmission on the platform itself.
When direct, Mercury facilities the fast transmission of everything related to our speech, body language, writing, and our systems of technology. Mercury helps send energy away from us and then helps others receive it. Through this connection, we share ideas, expand our thought process, and embrace the spirit of community. It energetically facilitates the exchange of information whether it be through helping us speak our thoughts out loud, or making sure our technology is running smoothly, Mercury connects us with each other. While its moving backward is an illusion, its energetic influence is not. The effects we feel from Mercury Retrograde are due to its alignment with the Earth. Mercury is that second train, and that split second lasts for three weeks because planets are a lot bigger than trains. Have you ever been on a train as another one passes by? For a split second, it seems like that passing train is moving backward until it overtakes the one you’re on and speeds away. The great planet of communication is not actually moving backward, though, it is simply passing by the Earth, waving as it takes down our email servers. When it does, we have Mercury Retrograde, an optical illusion that makes it appear as though Mercury is moving backward in our sky. That’s roughly three times faster than Earth, meaning it laps the Earth three times a year. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun taking only 88 days to orbit the big ball of fire.
So what is this astrological phenomenon that causes so much disruption and why does it feel like it’s happening all the time? It affects all of us, no matter our personal Sun or Moon sign, it causes misalignment in our love life and even causes technological meltdowns crashing the all-mighty Instagram and Facebook.
Mercury Retrograde has become as famous as the Kardashians and for good reason.
