Mercury Retrograde Creates Trying Times For Love

By Lou Raedwulfe


Mercury Retrograde in now in full force, so watch your communications with your partner during this time period. Its bound to affect even the strongest of relationships as this one is powerful indeed. With Neptune and Pluto also in retrograde, this retrograde of the Messenger packs a punch for the until the end of August.

Fasten your seat belt and put on that face mask because Mercury Retrograde is here with all of its usual and unusual backfires. This time, other planets are also in retrograde, so expect the unexpected. If you have plan A in place, also make sure that you have plan B and C because you may find that you need it.

These past couple of weeks have been a good example of Mercury's impact on communication as the Congress tried to work on our country's national financial problems. I suspect they will be revisiting this issue again before the year is over. The signing of any legal documents during a Mercury Retrograde will most certainly cause issues in the not-so-distant future.

Mercury retrogrades give us a front row seat as a witness to some very disturbing communications among our personal relationships. At a deeper and more personal level, we can expect things to go awry and have communication breakdowns during this time as well. They are usually short lived without lasting effects unless the relationship is on its last legs and then breakups can occur.

Mercury going backwards for several weeks can cause transportation problems, especially, short-distance travel. If you have already made plans to travel in the Fall, just be sure to check them over and make sure to re-check them before you actually leave.

If love is clearly shared between you and your partner, you may wonder how you suddenly got into an argument. Where did this come from? How did we get here? You can blame Mercury when this happens. A normally solid relationship can survive this time period as long as you make a mental note that 'this, too, shall pass', because it will.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the spoken word, which includes email, tweets and social media sites, can be taken the wrong way. What we say may be taken in a totally different way than we had intended. Electronic communication can easily go wrong; think before you speak or write.

This truly is not the time to get upset and try to work out issues that are important to you. If you can wait three weeks, things will be much easier to deal with. It is also very important to meet in person if you must discuss important problems between you as texting or emailing can become an issues in and of themselves.

5 things to remember to keep on track in your relationships during retrogrades:

1. Discuss problems in person instead of using texting/email

2. Take a step back during misunderstandings

3. Think before you speak as reality can be distorted

4. Check all of your texts and emails before sending them

5. Control your temper; anger can run high during retrogrades

Mercury will begin its forward journey in early Fall, so, try to remain calm and resolve important things after this time period when you will be back to 'normal'. Take a deep breath and wait for when things will be much calmer after Mercury retrograde.
