What is Mercury Retrograde?

After discovering his potent psychic abilities as a young man, John Edward set off on a path of spiritual development learning more about energy healing and astrology. Through his members-only online forum, Evolve, John Edward shares information about significant cosmological events, such as Mercury retrograde.

Between three and four times a year, Mercury seems to orbit backward for about three weeks. This backward motion is described by astrologists as a retrograde. Retrogrades can weaken a planet’s influence and cause disruptions and slowdowns. Since Mercury rules communication and travel, arguments, delays, and missed connections tend to amplify during a retrograde.

Due to the high risk of miscommunication, Mercury retrograde is considered a less than ideal time to start a new business or relationship. Traveling during this period is also not advised. In addition to taking practical measures such as backing up important files or postponing important meetings, people can use the retrograde as an opportunity to reduce their workload and reflect on their next steps.
