Things You Should Know
Astrologer Mechila Blake explains that when Mercury is in retrograde, it appears to move backward in its orbit. Because Mercury rules communication, when it's in retrograde, you might experience misunderstandings, broken promises, or issues with contracts, travel plans, or technology. It’s a time for reviewing and reflecting rather than starting new ventures, and lasts about 3 weeks.
