plus the current transits taking place in your natal chart and how the current mercury retrograde is affecting it. Plus your psychological, emotional and spiritual temperament(moods).
Paying attentip the the above will help you deal with the most nerve-wracking event in astrology.
Seeing its just as playful as a michevous puppy.
The backward tour of mercury through the sky becomes a great scapegoat whenever flights are delayed, emails go astray, and laptops and all other technology become glitchy, shutting down or freaking out left, right and centre!
However, the meaning of mercury retrograde is not just some kind of bad luck. It is the way of astrology forcing you to recheck, revisit, and review your life still?
Do you really need to say the things you think about you?
Are your relationships as stable as you think?
The esoteric meaning of Mercury retrograde is learning how and when to slow down and how to communicate more effectively with others.
As well as reflecting on the ways you talk to others, plus your thought patterns, are they clear.
In what ways do you over think, or how do your thoughts deceive yourself and others, plus how much control do they have over your behaviours.
The best use of mercury in retrograde is to focus on all things communications with a view of improving how you express yourself to yourself and others.
look on the bright side
Still, mercury retrograde is not all gloom and doom, despite what some will have you think, yes some placements in astrology are not nice, especially squares and oppositions, but when we start to think from the standpoint of how can I learn from this?
And how can I prepare myself for this event? This is when you begin to cook on all four cylinders.
Life is hard, some transits and natal chart placements are easier than others, but all placements serve as tools for personal development and soul- higher conciousness growth.
