It’s always a relief when Mercury gets back on a normal course, but what emerges in the aftermath in the way of missed messages can be an embarrassment at best and a real problem at worst. Then again, good news that was held back or misdirected could appear, and fears that something had turned pear-shaped may prove to be as wrong as wrong could be.Every astrological coin has two sides.Being born with a retrograde Mercury is not the life impediment that you might think. It doesn’t mean you are destined to be two steps behind everyone else and rarely able to make a decision without having to go back on it.

Not at all. People with a retrograde Mercury are neither slow nor stupid. And I speak as one myself. What do I do? I write, I communicate and I travel extensively.A retrograde Mercury can inspire an interest in history and a liking for research. People with retrograde Mercury like to connect the dots and look into the whys and wherefores behind situations. A retrograde Mercury is more reflective. Yes, there will be individuals born under a retrograde Mercury whose thinking functions are impaired or whose ability to move is limited, but the finger of blame cannot be pointed at this planet’s motion at the time of birth.You are born at a moment in time that reflects precisely who you are.

In the cosmic code will be your history and your potential in this life. That we are born with disabilities and must therefore struggle to fulfil our potential is not the fault of one planet heading in the wrong direction.So, all you retrograde Mercury’s out there. I salute you. We are part of a great team.
