Mercury retrogrades about three times a year for three weeks at a time. Contracts wobble, texts get lost, plans need re-doing.
Mercury Rx is the mind meeting itself. The chatter of daily communication quiets and space opens for genuinely new thought.
Signing important contracts is not forbidden — but re-read them twice. Great for editing, catching up, reconnecting with old people.
A natal Mercury retrograde is common (about 20% of charts). It often means slower speech but deeper thought, and a mind that revises its way to accuracy.
During transit, expect the '3 Rs': re-view, re-visit, re-vise. Not the moment to launch — great moment to polish.
Miscommunication, mis-sent messages, or blaming the sky for a rushed email.
Careful thought, editing, reconnection, and the quiet upgrades that only slower time allows.
This is easiest to feel when you can see it in your own chart. Open your natal chart and look for Mercury Retrograde directly.
