, which occur under the influence of slow planets.Observing Mercury, it is easy to notice that approximatelyonce every 3 months

it slows down its movement and then begins to move in the opposite direction relative to the observer from the Earth. In fact, the planet, of course, is not moving backwards, but certain features have been noticed.Transits of Mercury in the Zodiac and its aspects do not produce serious events, however, when it becomes retrograde, many things begin to happen. .

work quite differently than usual

Mercury retrograde period: how often does it happen and how long does it last? Mercury retrograde lasts an average of three weeks and occurs approximately once every three months, respectively 3-4 times a year

. For many who follow Mercury retro, it can be quite difficult to endure these three weeks, when many things have to be either postponed or redone. However, we simply need this time to go back and reconsider what!

necessaryATTENTION! When you see the beginning of the Mercury retrograde period on the calendar, you should become more attentive to events in two to three weeks

before this, since the speed of Mercury begins to slow down, which means its action may well already be taking place! This is also due to the fact that Mercury is included in the so-called "retrograde loop"

and the things you need to do in this loop can be repeated when Mercury returns to the same point. In the “loop” all points are passed three times - first in the direct position, then in the retrograde position, then again in the direct position. Hence the simple conclusion: we started - we returned - we did it again.

Cycle of Mercury and the Sun The Mercury-Sun cycle lasts approximately and includes several important points:

1. Inferior conjunction with the Sun. This is the first conjunction with the Sun and occurs approximately halfway through Mercury's retrograde path (about 10 days after the turn). This connection can be conditionally called New Moon, since it is the end of the old cycle and the beginning of a new one.

What you need to know about the bottom connection:

- Before this day, you should complete matters that are related to Mercury (for example, finishing written work, completing your studies, completing paperwork, returning from trips, and so on).

- After the moment of Mercury’s conjunction with the Sun, it’s good to start planning new things related to Mercury, but don’t start them yet!

2. Superior conjunction to the Sun comes approximately in 9 weeks after the inferior conjunction and is conventionally called the Full Moon, that is, it is the culmination of the Mercury-Sun cycle.

What you need to know about the top connection:

- Superior conjunction occurs approximately 1.5 months after Mercury exits retrograde.

- This is a period of activation of those areas for which Mercury is responsible - communication, languages, transport, documents, trade, communications, etc.

- Many people can show all their intellectual abilities on these days, brilliant ideas come, people become more insightful, and are drawn to communication and knowledge.

With both the lower and upper connections, you must not miss important information, showing curiosity. These days, many may think that they know more than others and overestimate their intellectual capabilities, so in order to avoid any misunderstandings and communication problems, you should show tact and control the ego.

There can be a lot of options, it all also depends on what areas Mercury rules in your personal chart, what are its advantages and disadvantages and what transits are taking place at this moment.

Some owners of retro Mercury in their charts still complain that things are not going as well for Mercury as they think. But by and large, if they look at it from the other side, they will find much more benefits for yourself.

Who else should pay attention to the Mercury retro period?

1) People whose work and profession associated with Mercury: writers, translators, copywriters, journalists, traders (including sellers, distributors, dealers, owners of trading businesses, especially small goods: books, stationery and electronics, etc.), secretaries, clerks, writers of documentation and letters, school teachers, teachers, drivers and truckers, telephone operators, employees of companies providing various services, including the Internet, and so on.

2) People whose charts include Mercury, the signs of Gemini and Virgo, as well as solar Gemini and Virgo in general, because Mercury is the ruler of these zodiac signs.

For these people, Mercury retrograde periods will be more noticeable and will be remembered for various situations and events associated with it (see Probable events for Mercury retrograde). They especially should not engage in activities that are not recommended to be done during Mercury retro.

Transit of Mercury retrograde according to the zodiac signs

♈ ARIES. Urgent matters that need to be completed quickly and that require quick decisions are returned. For example, once you didn’t finish a question, but now there is a need to finish it as quickly as possible. Superficial acquisition of information, rapid forgetting. It is difficult to train your memory and remember something; information quickly disappears.

♉ TAURUS. In this zodiac sign, retrograde Mercury is less hot and more attentive, makes more serious mistakes, and fewer minor inaccuracies. People are not so mobile and do not search quick information, although it is still difficult to perceive everything new at this time. People are easily offended by small things, and misunderstood information can stay in their heads for a long time, even if they find out that it is not true.

♊ GEMINI. In this sign, Mercury is in its abode, but is ready to distort any information. Be careful when you see Mercury turning back in your sign, because it's time to hide and hide. All sorts of scammers and deceivers are becoming more active, it is easy to get acquainted with charlatans, so we advise you not to seek advice during this period. And you should only buy things from trusted suppliers whom you trust and can quickly return or exchange the goods after purchase. It is very difficult to complete things!

♋ CANCER. On days when Mercury falls into the sign of Cancer, sensitivity to words and intonations only increases, and with retrograde this only intensifies. These days you may remember old grievances, criticism, you begin to be overwhelmed with emotions about what has long been in the past. Interest in some children's books may flare up again, or you can somehow return to childhood and remember some things from it. Any new information should be taken carefully and filtered, as there may be misunderstandings.

♌ LION. In Leo, Mercury makes us stand out and attract attention through speech, brightness and emotional statements. Someone will want to discuss old important news. These days there is a high risk of overestimating the level of your knowledge. It's hard to admit when you're wrong. Many people find themselves thinking that they are beginning to impose their opinions on others. It's good these days to return to some creative projects, which you have abandoned or put aside for a while, but for completely new ones there may not be enough inspiration!

♍ VIRGO. Mercury, although it will follow its native zodiac sign, will not be too strong, so the affairs that are associated with it may go at random, the astrologer website warns. Absent-mindedness and reluctance to admit one’s mistakes can lead to even greater inaccuracies and problems at this time, so it is better to postpone any important documents, negotiations or trade deals until Mercury is in a direct position.

About one fourth of horoscopes contain Mercury retrograde. The mindset and way of thinking of people of this type is a little peculiar: it is more focused on the inner world than on the outer world. They need more time to think things through and “digest” the information. People with Mercury Retrograde may have weaker RAM, but their analytical abilities and penchant for deep thinking are clearly expressed. They find it difficult to quickly process information, “grasp on the fly” and deal with several things at the same time.

A person of this mindset is prone to lengthy introspection and prefers to compare existing data. Such people are quite self-critical and like to delve into the past, carefully analyzing the past stages of life. It is more difficult for them to make new acquaintances, new subjects and dramatic changes in life. These people are sometimes referred to as “heavy to climb.” A person with Retrograde Mercury is characterized by such qualities as nervousness, depression, isolation and self-flagellation. It is difficult for him to adapt to new conditions of existence and change his worldview. Growth and development of intelligence occurs when Mercury becomes direct. Retrograde Mercury calls a person to self-education, self-control and strict discipline.

While Mercury is moving backwards, you may experience some confusion and forgetfulness. Sometimes there is a disruption in the decision-making process, as well as delays in business. Ideas that look promising at first glance are unlikely to bear fruit in the future; over time, you will see errors and omissions. It is not recommended to start new things during Mercury Retrograde. During these periods, it is favorable to return to old situations and unresolved issues and finally complete everything that has been started.

Mercury retrogrades about 3 times a year. Most often these periods last about 3 weeks. At this time, all energy is directed inward, so do internal work, solving some deep-seated problems. This is the time when a person can take a fresh look at certain situations and find correct solution old questions. You can also deeply analyze your recently acquired knowledge and put it to good use. During the period of Mercury Retrograde, it will be useful to put things in order in your thoughts, reflect on your life and make useful adjustments.

Tendency to destructive thoughts, escalating the situation, empty talk and gossip. A person can sit idle for a long time, putting off all important things “for later.”

In some situations, this may mean a careerist who is so immersed in work and withdrawn into himself that he is completely disconnected from the outside world. For example, a woman who works so hard that she completely forgets about her family and children.

Tip number one: don’t spread yourself thin and don’t be active in communication, don’t make new acquaintances and reduce the number of trips.

Mercury retrograde symbolizes the processes of individualization, the growth of independence of the intellect. Human thinking becomes an independent process, divorced from what is happening around. Mercury retrograde is one of the indicators of introversion. This does not mean that Mercury retrograde is “bad” or “malefic.” It gives people strong intuition, deep intelligence; Although children born with Mercury retrograde may experience difficulties in learning, it seems that they already know everything, without teachers, that they draw knowledge from some bottomless internal piggy bank that they brought into this life from a past incarnation. They are characterized by a mysterious irrational wisdom, and for this reason, it can be difficult for such children to communicate with their peers, “normal” children.

Retrograde Mercury can mean interest in the collective unconscious (traditions, customs); it can create a predisposition to clairvoyance, perception of the thoughts of other people, and the study of occult sciences.

But more importantly, Mercury retrograde has a surprise in store for its wards. Sooner or later, dramatic changes occur in the lives of owners of such Mercury. The dam that separated them from those around them turns out to be broken by the accumulated mass of internal knowledge, and these people become hyper-contact, super-curious, super-communicative. Since such a breakthrough often occurs at the age when a person chooses a profession, formerly withdrawn children often choose such work for themselves in order to be in the thick of events and people - they become journalists, writers, reporters, and businessmen.

Mercury does not move further than 28° from the Sun, therefore it can be found in the horoscope in two positions - in front of the Sun (Prometheus, rising before the Sun) and behind it (Epimetheus, rising after the Sun). Paired with direct and retrograde movement, we get four states of Mercury, forming four types of thinking.

1. Intuitive type of thinking. On the one hand, a person tends to actively seek answers to the questions that arise in his mind, to obtain knowledge, and on the other hand, the most important direction of the search for knowledge in this case is through himself and within himself. The principle that applies most clearly here is: “Learning is remembering what we already actually know.” In order to understand the world around us, a person must first understand himself. The difficulty is that a person with this type of thinking, receiving new information, is faced with unfinished old questions that he once did not answer and which are repressed into the unconscious. And he tries to answer these old questions with the help of new information that has not yet acquired images and symbols, and therefore thinking occurs very intuitively. A person receives new information that does not fit into the framework of the images and stereotypes that he had. Therefore, he lives in colossal tension. Such Mercury very often disrupts mental and somatic connections. Moreover, the closer it is located to the Sun, the greater the disruption of relationships. These people, to a fairly high degree, can find themselves in situations of mental and physical stress or failure.

Persons: Robert Burns, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, Mikhail Bulgakov; Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, also happened to be here, testing the effects of medicines on himself.

1. Reactive type of thinking. The owner of such Mercury likes to feel the power of his own intellect; he directs his thinking to interesting phenomena in the external world and obtains information that feeds his curiosity. In order to understand himself, it is important for this person to understand what is happening in the world around him. Distinctive feature Such people are the ease with which they project the results of their mental activity in images and symbols. Whatever they think, they can express it. How Mercury is closer located towards the Sun, the higher the speed of information processing. Sometimes such Mercury provokes the symptom of “strange questions”. For example, during a lecture a person asks questions that seem to be in no way related to the topic. In fact, the questioner has long understood the lecturer’s thought, knows in advance the course of his reasoning and asks a question related to future material or something that is not intended to be discussed in this course. If the orb of the conjunction with the Sun is less than one degree, then such a person may experience a mental revolt, a protest against the very idea of ​​​​the unknowability of the world. In their depths thought process lies approximately the following motive: if the world is arranged intelligently, then the human mind is capable of comprehending it.

Persons: Gogol, Gorky, Kant, Freud, Pushkin, Lomonosov, Newton, Kepler, Byron, Kulibin, Vernadsky.

1. Adaptive type of thinking. Holders of this type of Mercury build a mental model of the world from bricks obtained by more specialized Prometheans. It is very important for them to discover some structure in the universe, since they are like creatures with an external skeleton: their own structure is caused by the presence of an external structure and is its reflection. They notice patterns in the outside world and then adapt their lives to them. On every issue, such people have their own, thoughtful opinion. The mental and somatic connections for which Mercury is responsible are quite stable and stable for this type of person. Most of these people strive to socially realize their mental capabilities. Understanding the world and exploring the providence of the Lord God sometimes takes a central place in their lives. Burnt Mercury indicates high excitability and slow inhibition of all connections. Unconscious images that swarm in a person’s head often put pressure on consciousness, giving rise to various kinds of neurotic reactions. The fact is that Mercury has just overtaken the Sun here, it is in its glory. But no one appreciates or understands this. Therefore, underestimating his mental capabilities irritates and excites a person. The combustion of Mercury can manifest itself in such a phenomenon as unconscious perception and total absorption of any information (reading everything in a row indiscriminately), which goes into the unconscious in images, from where it then emerges again in the form of images and manifests itself in the form of meaningful symbols. Therefore, in almost 100% of cases, these people are convinced that they have strong intuition. With dominant Mercury, a person is inclined to perceive his fate as fate, inevitability, predestination.

Persons: Lenin, Marx, Herzen, Descartes, Karamzin, Darwin, Kasparov, Tal, Alekhine, Zhukov and Daniil Andreev. The following people had burnt Mercury in this phase: E. Blavatsky, N. Roerich, A. Men, M. Lermontov.

1. Conservative type of thinking. For these people, structure is more important inner world. They assimilate information obtained by other people during outside world, but in order to apply it first of all to yourself. And if you managed to restore order within yourself, what is happening outside also becomes meaningful. A striking example this type is a follower of several directions at once spiritual development or self-healing, taking a little from each specialized area to create its own concept. People with this phase of Mercury react slowly or weakly to new information. Images and symbols are not formed when confronted with new experiences, but emerge from the unconscious. In the mental activity of these people, deep human archetypes occupy a central place, and momentary conclusions and mental constructions are of no interest. Particular troubles arise with children who have this phase of Mercury. The fact is that they are usually quite deep in their knowledge and very unusual in their thinking style. They initially pay attention not to information, but to the deep knowledge with which it can be associated. They are either interested in something or not. If they reach any results in their thoughts, they do not consider it necessary to share this with others. Psychological connections in such people have a cyclical, repeating nature. If they are offended by something, they will repeatedly return to this episode, furnishing it with more and more new images and symbols. If a person becomes interested in a problem, he does not let it out of his sight for a long time, which gives the impression of an obsession.

Persons: Paracelsus, Dostoevsky, Alexander Blok, Fet, P. Kapitsa.
