Know all about the Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn

When a planet is in retrograde it can emphasize the events that are bound to happen, it can affect your unsolved issues from the past, your wrongdoings, unforeseen changes, different kinds of blockages, built-up frustrations, and aggravations in walks of life. Let’s not overlook the fact that Mercury is the “spiritual guide” and the “Prince of all the zodiacs”. So Mercury retrograde can show us the way to our soul.

Mercury retrograde meaning explained in simple words is, ‘When it looks like the planet is moving backward from where we are standing on Earth’. But it is just an optical illusion because planets can’t go in the backward direction.Gemini and Virgo signify third and sixth respectively as per the Kalpurush Kundali. The Prince planet rules the practical Virgo and quick-witted Gemini also, so we know that both these signs will be heavily affected. On top of this, it also matters in which house and which sign the retrograde cycle lands in. For instance, if Mercury is staying in an air or water sign like it is for most of 2021, they will be affected the most. While it can vary from one retrograde period to the next (fire and earth signs too), the basic jumbling and slagging of a Mercury retrograde cycle stays the same.


OK, So Will This Mercury Retrograde Affect ME?

During Mercury Retrograde you and I will notice issues like;

  1. We have to mind our language during a Mercury retrograde period. Take your time to think and write or type, spelling errors and typos are bound to happen, but it’s extremely important to triple-check every text, email, and DM before hitting send.
  2. Your way of expressing yourself is also quite junked that needs oiling, otherwise, misunderstandings can happen if your true intentions are not conveyed.
  3. Your decision-making skills may also be topsy-turvy, so during this period you should avoid signing any major contracts and if you must, be sure to thoroughly read the fine print in large size font.
  4. Talking about tech, you can blame Mercury retrograde for any electronic meltdowns. It is advisable not to buy any new gadgets till Mercury is on a spree, and if you have to on an urgent basis, just make sure that you have a warranty for that.
  5. Travel should also be avoided but if you have already booked your tickets and you’re going, be mentally prepared for delays, cancellations, and a few wrong turns.
  6. Lastly, but certainly not the least, you can expect your past ghosts to haunt you down. So during Mercury retrograde, it’s best to politely decline unexpected coffee dates and “innocent” proposals to grab drinks.

Tips to survive Mercury retrograde:

It’s pretty simple, choose your words wisely, remember to proofread, keep your hands off signing contracts or read them extra carefully, back up all your data, and have a Plan B in case of travel mishaps. But if you look at it from the positive window, you’ll know that Mercury retrograde isn’t all bad. In fact, it is just testing you and me. How prepared are you if any inconvenience happens? When things go haywire, how’s your self-care routine? Take it up as a challenge and a time for reflection. These retrogrades are not the end of the world, duh! Mercury retrogrades three or four times per year for three to four weeks, so you’ve been through it before and many times, you will get through it this year, too *wink*. Although other planets also go ringa ringa in a backward motion except for the Sun and the Moon, Mercury retrograde is the only one that has the potential to mess up all things related to communication and transmission. Jokes aside, but when Mercury rests, it gives us time to take a breather.
