How To Avoid The Harmful Effects of Retrograde Mercury This April

We’ve all heard of Mercury retrograde, but what does that even mean, and why does everyone seem to lose their mind when it happens? When Mercury starts spinning in the opposite direction, we can see this optical illusion from Earth. Interestingly, Mercury does not actually change its rotation, but times were tough back in the day, so this phenomenon was named “retrograde Mercury,” and, as mentioned before, it was thought that this time of year would bring some negative consequences because blaming our mishaps on something or someone else is what humans do best.

Astrologers believe that Mercury retrograde can affect communication, technology, thinking, and sometimes even our senses of perception. This year, the retrograde will last until April 25, and just like the previous retrogrades, it may be accompanied by some really bad juju if you don’t know how to protect yourself.
