Mercury Retrograde – 9th September 2022<\/h1>\n

Summer is over as the torrential rain announces the timely arrival of the next spanner in the works inducing Mercury Retrograde<\/strong>! Plus, it is also our third of four for this year; how lucky we are!<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s right – Four Mercury Retrogrades for 2022! <\/strong><\/span><\/span>The previous years usually give us an annual three, but as you know by now, Mercury<\/strong><\/a> likes to rock your boat and throw in an extra retrograde<\/strong><\/a>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first<\/strong><\/a> retrograde\u00a0was all about technology<\/strong>, ensuring everything was backed up! Along came the second <\/strong><\/a>retrograde was patience<\/strong> and communication<\/strong>. What will it be like this month? Read on below!<\/span><\/p>\n

What does Mercury Retrograde mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Mercury Retrograde<\/b> first came to prominence through mythology. Mercury<\/span>\u00a0was the <\/span>messenger<\/b><\/a> of the <\/span>Roman Gods<\/b><\/a>. These retrogrades usually last three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retrograde\u00a0comes from the Latin word \u2018retrogradus<\/strong>\u2018<\/em>,\u00a0which translates as\u00a0\u201cbackward step<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0But of course,\u00a0Mercury<\/b><\/a> is NOT travelling backwards; it just appears to be<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Imagine two planets moving side by side<\/strong>. One moves slower than the other, giving the appearance<\/strong> of moving backwards<\/strong> against the faster-moving one!<\/p>\n

This Retrograde<\/h2>\n

Keep an eye on those dates<\/strong>, as set schedules<\/strong> could be disrupted or thrown out completely! Making those appointments or running late for meetings, keep a close eye on the time.<\/p>\n

Delays to travel <\/b>or disruptions to a journey <\/b>are more possible under this Mercury Retrograde. Also, hold off on those new projects and relationships, or at least go at a little steadier.<\/p>\n

Make time<\/strong>, your friend. We always wish we had more of it when it runs out, so embrace<\/strong> time by focusing ahead to the next few weeks during the retrograde. Use that as a positive,<\/strong> and you can gain strength!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, there are four<\/strong> Mercury Retrogrades in total for 2022. Our<\/span> astrologers<\/b><\/a> say that, although these retrogrades can bring frustrations and trouble, they can also be a good influence on us too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>astral energy<\/b> around this time can give us the renewed opportunity<\/strong> to see these from a new perspective or a different angle. This can be a positive influence on what we want!<\/span><\/p>\n

Use them to pause for thought and action before you decide to proceed. The <\/span>dates<\/b> for all the <\/span>Mercury Retrogrades<\/b> that will be occurring this year are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
