What retrograde actually is
No planet ever travels backwards; earth simply overtakes, or is overtaken, and the night sky shows the lag. The tradition treats that apparent reversal as a season for the prefix re-: review, revise, repair, reconsider, return.
What to expect from Mercury
This is the planet of communication, contracts, travel plans, and technology, so those are the files that come back for review. The classic advice holds: build in margins, re-read before sending, back up what matters, and treat returning people and themes as questions rather than verdicts.
Keeping perspective
No need for dread: Mercury does this three or four times every single year, and civilisation has weathered every one of them. The period rewards care, not paralysis - keep living, just keep receipts.
