Mercury is Retrograde and it will be in the sign of Capricorn until the 23rd. Capricorn is the sign that works hard to build something tangible and focuses on practicalities. Mercury will reenter the sign of Sagittarius on its retrograde path. Sagittarius is the sign of seeking truth and exploring, so the retrograde is also intended to emphasize the importance of being present and enjoying your surroundings - rather than fixating on the end goal.
This retrograde period is a good time to rest and recharge - and to review any places in your life where youâve been overdoing it.
Most people assume that the world works in a logical, linear, and somewhat predictable way - but thatâs not always the case. Expecting that on any given day, everything will go as planned actually helps perpetuate this illusion. During this time frame, these assumptions are severely compromised. The âregular,â logical flow of events may appear to be disrupted.
Communication can feel frustrating now, especially if you tend to expect conversations to be detailed and orderly. Normally, you - or others around you - might depend on lists, numbers, or outlines to get the point across - but at this moment, these ways of communicating might not work as well as expected, or they might even cause some confusion.
As a result of this energy, the world wonât operate in the way you expect. Instead, what seemed objective becomes subjective; left-brain becomes right-brain; and connections will be missed - both with people and, interestingly, with technology and machines. Schedules, rules, routines, plans, messages, or emails - anything requiring rational functioning or communication - might not work as they usually do.
These energies may or may not affect everyone the same way - they probably wonât feel as strong as any personal cycles that youâre having. But if you know whatâs happening, you can set intentions or take advantage of these energies - and not feel overwhelmed if things feel out of control.
