The dates

What retrograde actually is

Retrograde is an optical effect - the planet never actually reverses - but astrology has always read the appearance as the meaning: matters ruled by the planet turn inward, revisions outrank launches, and the past has a way of circling back for another look.

What to expect from Mercury

Mercury governs communication, contracts, travel plans, and technology. Expect exactly those areas to ask for a second pass - and expect the second pass, done patiently, to leave things sturdier than they were before the station.

A word against the panic

Mercury does this three or four times every single year - this is routine sky, not an emergency. The only real mistake is refusing the invitation to slow down and check the work.
