Mercury is in retrograde again. That makes lots of things extra challenging. Don't believe in the phenomenon? We'll explain.
Because of the way Earth's orbit interacts with the orbits of other planets, they appear to almost be traveling backwards sometimes. It's an illusion of course, but it's called apparent retrograde motion. This happens 3 times a year and coincides with things going, you guessed it, wrong. Think little mistakes, miscommunications, confusion, delays, short tempers - all things that frustrate us.
You'll need a little extra patience to get through these days. Take comfort in the fact that despite the challenges, our intuition is on fleek during Mercury retrograde. You'll also find it en effective time to reflect on things from the past too. So look forward to that growth.
Since Mercury rules communications, travel, contracts and even your car, arm yourself with a little extra patience. Double check things like travel plans, emails, instructions and go head and visually inspect the car. Mercury realigns by March 10 so hang on it will be over soon. Other dates to watch out this year are June 18 to July 12 and October 14 to November 3.
