Mercury begins retrograde on May 10, 2022. Creating drama in your communication.

On May 10, 2022, at 7:47 a.m. EST, Mercury, the planet of communication, begins retrograde.

Mercury is the planet that governs words, information, and communication. Since it moves through the 12 signs of the zodiac at a very fast speed, it is responsible for spreading words and information around the world at a fast pace. In this day and age, information is spread instantly through social networking. Even the random words of a single person can spread around the world overnight. In this sense, Mercury is like a social networking planet, too!

Now, Mercury goes retrograde from May 10, 2022 to June 3, 2022. During this period, people’s communication will be adjusted, and misunderstandings and miscommunications are likely to occur. There will be many misunderstandings and miscommunications, so it is best to avoid making important promises and contracts.

However, fearing Mercury retrograde too much is also a problem. A retrograde motion is an adjustment to move our destiny in the right direction, a “stretching of our destiny,” so to speak. It is like exercising destiny by stretching muscles and joints in the direction they are not normally used. Therefore, once retrograde is over, words will begin to flow as if a puzzle had been fit together properly.

This time Mercury will return to Taurus once, one sign before retrograde, on May 23, 2022. This will be a period for redoing unfinished communication, and since strange reunions can occur, it is important to be prepared to find meaning in this time.

Mercury’s movements this time can be divided into the following five periods:

(1) April 29, 2022 – May 10, 2022: The period of Mercury’s stay in Gemini.
New forms of communication emerge.

(2) May 10, 2022 – May 22, 2022: Period when Mercury goes retrograde in Gemini.
The communication adjustments necessary to obtain new interactions will take place.

(3) May 22, 2022 – June 3, 2022: Period when retrograde Mercury returns to Taurus.
Meet unfinished issues from the past.

(4) June 3, 2022 – June 13, 2022: Mercury completes retrograde and moves back into forward motion in Taurus.
Redo the exchanges that should have been done.

(5) June 13, 2022 – July 5, 2022: Period when Mercury stays in Gemini again.
With the completion of the retrograde, the new communication described in (1) is firmly formed.

The Mercury retrograde period will bring a bit of drama to our communications, but think about it like living through that drama like a hero of a myth. You have to consciously apply small changes and undergo difficulties in order to reach a better ending!

The five stages of “drama” woven by Mercury this time will vary depending on the person’s Sun sign. To see the new form of communication Mercury brings to you, choose your zodiac sign below.
