Starting today, Mercury has entered retrograde motion and will not turn direct until after March 10. During this period, it will backtrack from Pisces to 29 degrees of Aquarius. Mercury’s return from Pisces to Aquarius will help bring clarity to intuitive hunches and recently emerged ideas. You will be able to find solutions to personal challenges through your own experience or by drawing valuable insights from the experiences of others. Our social realization will be especially highlighted—during this time, we can see how our desires may manifest, taking on tangible form. Most importantly, we will understand what actions are needed, beginning in mid-March. This period will help us apply past opportunities with current experience and knowledge. Therefore, expect that certain past tasks and projects may become relevant again. Whether to continue or finally close them is a decision you will need to make. Not everyone experiences the Mercury retrograde as a time of setbacks. For most, it is a period of inner deepening, reflection on the path traveled, and gaining clarity about personal desires and life principles. Overall, during Mercury retrograde, our attention to external circumstances tends to weaken, potentially leading to absentmindedness, forgetfulness, and general disorganization. We may easily overlook something important—failing to see the full picture or missing key details.
- Therefore, avoid conducting any important document-related procedures, such as buying, selling, or processing paperwork, loans, or contracts.
- Advertising and marketing campaigns are unlikely to yield the expected results.
- Avoid purchasing new electronics, especially computers and communication devices. Additionally, it is not advisable to schedule repairs.
- Surgical procedures are not recommended.
- Of course, we often cannot avoid all these activities, but if possible, it’s better to wait until Mercury resumes direct motion.
You may also notice that such situations tend to unfold more prominently in the areas of life governed by the house in your natal chart that is being transited by retrograde Mercury—especially if it forms conjunctions with your natal planets. In any case, remain calm and maintain an optimistic outlook on life!
