Upcoming Mercury in Retrograde April 21 – May 14, 2023

Mercury in Retrograde. Three words that create chaos in our everyday lives. On January 18th of this year, we completed the first of 4 times that Mercury will go into retrograde this year. It affected our family heavily with lots of communication issues. Our son’s hard drive failed, I struggled with a new project at work and had to remember grace in difficult times. A lot of reflection happened during the last retrograde. It was all good in the end. Things had to happen the way that they played out.

I have said it many times before, and I will say it again, when Mercury goes into retrograde it is an excellent time to reflect and use it as a time of growth. Look at the setbacks in communication, transportation and technology as an opportunity to review what you know, and reinforce good actions in your daily life.

Our next occurrence this year is April 21, 2023 – May 14, 2023 in earth sign Taurus. Remember to have patience with all things concerning communication, travel and technology. Take this time to slow down a bit, reflect on what has happened in the past few months. Are there lessons you learned? Mercury in Retrograde is not all that bad, we often put too much power into it. Yes there is a cosmic effect, but sometimes our own actions cause us the distress in the first place. Just my thoughts.
