If a child is born with Mercury retrograde, mental processes and comprehension become heightened. Decisions are made more cautiously. Parents and teachers may feel that the child requires an unusually long time to answer questions. Considerable patience on your part will eventually inspire him to respond. Sometimes people with retrograde Mercury in their horoscope find it easier to write than to speak. This planetary position does not hinder communication; on the contrary, it enhances this ability, as ideas are expressed in writing. The child should learn to trust his abilities and develop the skill of articulating his thoughts and ideas. He should be given frequent opportunities to “open up,” which often leads to the birth of brilliant ideas and concepts. It is advisable to write letters and keep a journal where thoughts can be freely recorded.
