Last year, in 2021, every Mercury retrograde unfolded in the air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.Ģ022 marks the progression to earth signs, with the retrogrades sprawling between Aquarius and Capricorn ( Janu– Febru), Gemini and Taurus ( – J), Libra and Virgo ( Septem– Octo), then back to Aquarius and Capricorn at the end of this year ( Decem– Janu). Mercury retrogrades always occur in the same element or element combo every year. What is a “Mercurial” nature? Anything to do with communications, learning, thinking, reasoning, and moving about. Retrogrades tend to bring certain issues, people, and opportunities back around - especially if they’re of a Mercurial nature, or related to the sign it takes place in. This gives us a good indication of what we end up mirroring. In actual fact, the planet does more of a loop-de-loop move in the sky. When retrograde, Mercury, like any planet, only appears to be going backward from our perspective on this little rock from which we stand. What it means for Mercury to be Retrograde These things are easy enough to avoid or easy enough to deal with if we put life into perspective. No, it’s not a good time to make major plans, sign big contracts, or buy electronic devices. Yes, Zoom calls get dropped, emails get lost, and texts go awry. Yes, things get tricky, testy, and tedious. Instead of viewing this time as one of communicative curses and technological condemnation from the gods on high, we can view it as essential to our growth and evolution. (In 2022: 4 times.) If one considers the shadow phases of Mercury as well as the retrograde itself (the time when the planet will occupy the degrees of its retrograde motion), we are looking at two entire months for each retrograde. It’s an excuse to get your introspective groove on.
