Today, we are talking about the top three things you need to know about Mercury retrograde. Why? Because guess what may 10 sees another Mercury retrograde Mercury retrograde is gonna start off in the sign of Gemini and move back into the sign of TAs. But guess what? That affects you, no matter what star sign you are or what rising sign you are, we all have Gemini and Taurus in our charts somewhere. And by the way, if you're wondering about a planet moving from one sign to the next, I will explain that as we go along. But before we get into that, let's just define our terms a little bit mercury, obviously, planet, actually the planet closest to us planet earth in astrology, Mercury represents communications. So symbolically when Mercury appears to go backwards in the skies, as it does up to four times a year, it's been noted by people paying for thousands and thousands of years that communications and transport and electronics and all other things connected to Mercury can go a little haywire.

In fact, if you Google New York times Mercury retrograde airport luggage, you will find an art where they actually tested. Does Mercury retrograde lead to more luggage being lost, which actually you would expect it to just because Mercury retrograde is a time of confusion. And it really does relate a lot to transport as much as it does to communications, which is what it's more famous for. And, uh, somebody somewhere did this, uh, test and they, they monitored were more pieces of luggage lost under Mercury retrograde and a statist. Let me say that again. A statistically valid number of extra suitcases went missing during the survey. So there you go. It's not just hearsay. Mercury retro really is a time for things, getting confused, things, getting lost, misunderstandings and miscommunications. However, all that said kind of brings me to the first of the three things I wanna tell you about Mercury retrograde.

So the first thing I wanna tell you about Mercury re retrograde is this guess what? It's not bad luck. Okay. People get the wrong idea. They hear about things like, oh, you know, more luggage goes missing when Mercury's retrograde or, oh my gosh, there's so much confusion or misunderstandings. Sure. All that is possible. As I said, Mercury in particular killer governs communications, short trips, transport situations. Okay. It, it is a little bit chaotic at times there can be misunderstandings and you might sometimes feel like, well, hang on a minute. I explained that really well to you. What part of what I said, didn't you understand when Mercury is retrograde, misunderstandings are more likely, but guess what? That is, where it finishes. It doesn't get more sinister than that. It is not bad luck. One of my favourite ways to illustrate this is to tell you about a comment I had on social media.
