Find the Upside to Mercury Retrograde

The Positive Spin on Mercury Retrograde

As with most things in life, there are positives to be garnered from negatives, or in this case, perceived negatives. Mercury Retrograde is one such occurrence. Sure, it wreaks havoc on our lives when the ruler of communication appears to turn backwards in the sky. But appearances are deceiving. No planet actually spins in reverse orbit. Rather, the earth rotates at a different pace than the other planets, causing the illusion of backward motion in relation to us.

So then, it’s no wonder Mercury Retrograde is all about how we relate to each other, ourselves and the world around us. And while it’s definitely worth heeding all the advice to keep things as smooth as possible, it’s also worth examining the positives.

Here’s your upside to this Mercury Retrograde in Cancer from June 26 – July 20.

Libra
