Mercury retrograde

13 March 2058 Wednesday · 7°53′ Aries

Mercury stays retrograde until 5 April 2058.

When a planet turns retrograde it appears to move backwards in the sky as seen from Earth. In astrology this is a time to go back and review that planet's matters rather than push ahead: good for finishing what was left half done, talking again with old contacts and correcting plans.

Mercury rules communication, correspondence, travel, contracts and the way we think. During Mercury retrograde misunderstandings, delays and technical glitches are common; read things twice before signing, back up your files and leave extra time for journeys.

What this Mercury retrograde means for each sign

The effect of each event on your sign is read from the house the event's sign falls in, counted from your own sign. A full moon in Gemini, for example, is in the 3rd house for Aries and brings 3rd house matters such as communication and your close circle to the fore. Read your Sun sign first; if you know your rising sign, its reading will tell you a lot too.

Aries 1st house

The retrograde is in your own sign: time to review yourself, your image and your direction in life. Rather than launching a new look, think about what you want and why.
