![]() ![]() 29, 2022, and the planet of communication will appear to be spinning backwards until Jan. The next Mercury retrograde starts on Dec. ![]() There are typically three Mercury retrograde periods in a year, but in 2022, we technically have four to deal with. When Mercury’s energy goes into reflect/refine/review-mode during a retrograde, and these elements aren't running smoothly, it can make for a frustrating experience at work, in travel, and in your social life. The reason why Mercury's backspins often feel like the most chaotic retrograde of them all is because they happen more frequently than other planetary retrogrades - the other planets reverse course anywhere from once a year to once every two years - and because the planet Mercury rules over so many day-to-day facets of our lives, including thinking, timing, traveling, communicating, and sharing information. They're known for causing all sorts of snags in communication, scheduling, tech devices, and beyond. But the most talked-about of all the retrogrades are Mercury retrograde periods, and these frustrating transits happen three to four times each year for about three weeks a time. These backspins ask us to slow down and reflect on the areas of our lives ruled by the retrograding planet. Almost all the major planets have regularly occurring retrograde periods in astrology, during which they appear to move backward on their usual course. ![]()
