Mercury Is In Retrograde: Here’s What It Means For Your Star Sign

Is your life feeling chaotic? Are your emotions all over the place? Did your crush break up with you, even though you were only ever together in your own imagination? Did you accidentally burn your toast this morning? Was your train delayed not once, but thrice? Did you drop your iPhone and smash the screen… again? Did you run into your ex while you were lining up hungover at Macca’s, nearly crying at the thought of a hash brown?

Here’s the thing: it’s not you. Actually it is, but the thing is Mercury is currently in retrograde so we can blame that instead.

It’s the second retrograde of 2021, and it started on May 29 and is due to last until June 22. Apparently this time around it means communication is rife, with the retrograde aligning with Gemini to mess with our communication and send us into an absolute frenzy. Sometimes it’s nice to blame something other than yourself, when you say the wrong thing? You know?

Mercury retrograde occurs three times a year and lasts around three weeks. Mostly it’s a time where we may feel more disoriented and frenzied, on edge for no apparent reason. However, astrologers say that if you know how to use a retrograde to your benefit, you may even come out alive – sorry, in a better position than what you were before it started.

You can take Mercury retrograde as a time to work on yourself – learn new skills, network, take yourself out of your comfort zone. Or you could just blame it for everything going wrong in your life. As always, the power lies within you.

But if you’re still with me and you want some guidance for the retrograde ahead, we’ve got you covered.
