Mercury Retrograde

A Look at Mercury Retrograde

Mercury, the Roman messenger of the gods, goes into retrograde two to three times a year (and sometimes even four).   Mercury usually moves faster than Earth around the sun but when Mercury starts to move slower than the Earth’s orbit, it creates the illusion that Mercury is moving backward. Unplugging and slowing down is the higher spiritual purpose behind this astrological phenomenon. Sometimes a Mercury retrograde gives us a second chance to get things right!
