Ever wondered why sometimes suddenly things slow down for you, or a communication goes wrong, misunderstandings take shape, and the electronics or machinery equipment conk off just when you need them the most? Well, besides many other things, there are chances astrology could be at play.
In astrology, Mercury is the planet that rules communication. When the planet goes “backward,” problems in that area usually arise. In 2019 it begins from 31st October and lasts till 20th November.
What is Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury retrograde is an apparent reversal in Mercury's orbit where the planet appears to change course and move backwards in the sky to people viewing it from Earth.
Keep reading if you’d like to know why this planet that is closest to the Sun appears to move backward. Mercury travels around the Sun four times for every one of Earth's orbit. When Earth and Mercury are on the same side of the Sun in their orbits, Mercury appears to move through the sky from West to East. As Mercury overtakes Earth in its inner orbit, it looks as if Mercury has changed direction and is in retrograde. This generally happens thrice a year. It’s the relative motion that makes it appear so. Some believe that the gravitational force Mercury exerts on the water in our bodies could be the reason for changes.
Some may brush it off as pseudoscience, but I’ve found it to be true. I noticed things going amiss when Mercury was in retrograde. Phone calls went unanswered or unreturned, appointments were missed and schedules seemed to always be changing at the last minute. Most funny one was forgetting the passwords all of a sudden.
So how to deal with the Mercury retrograde?
There is nothing to get worried or worked up listening to mercury retrograde. Its a phase which asks you to be more careful and diligent in the things you do. There is no harm being extra vigilant in such a phase.
