Mercury Retrograde Explained

There are certain periods in the year when the planet Mercury appears to be moving in reverse. Retrograde motion is technically an optical illusion caused by oppositional orbit between the Earth and Mercury.The ancients correlated this slow down as chaos as mercury is very quick and slowing down is not a mercurial strong suit.

Mercury is the planet that oversees communication, technology, commerce, friendships, siblings, neighborhoods, and the mind.
