The 5 R's of Mercury Retrograde 2019

As Mercury Retrograde is in full swing now, I wanted to take a moment to speak to you all about the ramifications of this time for all of us. 

What is Mercury Retrograde?:

This happens three to four times per year, when due to an optical illusion, the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. Some call this movement a retrograde, ergo the term, Mercury Retrograde.  

There are a plethora of things that you're asked not to do during this time, like sign contracts, get surgery, make major decisions or buy electronics because Mercury is the planet that rules communication. Most who know about this time period know that it is a time of delays, miscommunications and misunderstandings.

What most forget is this is a time filled with what I call the 5 “R’s.”
It is a time to “return” or “revisit” situations and issues from our past. It's a time to "reflect" on where you are now and how far we've come. Why? So we can “resolve”  and “release” what no longer resonates with our true selves. 

Just becoming aware of this will help you be present and not over-react to some of the inconveniences during this timeframe. Take this time to slow your life down a bit, just like the illusion of Mercury and stop the bullets before they reach you. That IS the intention of this time period, so don't allow it to make cracks in your very fiber.


In 2019, Mercury will be in retrograde three times, during the date ranges of:
  • March 5 to 28.
  • July 7 to August 2.
  • October 31 to November 20.

Approaching the October 2014 Mercury RetroGrade


For those of you who are uninitiated, 3 to 4 times a year, the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. It’s an illusion, of course, and occurs because of Mercury and Earth's relationship to each other at a particular point in their orbits as well as each of their relative speeds. Why should you care? Well, it seems that this retrograde motion has an effect on some aspects of our world.

Mercury is the ruler of all types of communications, transportation and commerce. It also rules electronics like your computer and one of our pride possessions, our cell phones, for example.

During these approximate 21 day retrograde periods things seem to go amuck. To add insult to injury,  the up to a couple of weeks before the retrograde officially begins is called a pre shadow period. During this pre-period, the swift-footed ruler seems to lose momentum as we start experiencing delays, misunderstandings as well as mechanical, technological and electronic mishaps and breakdowns.  


As I write this article we are in the pre-retrograde shadow period as Mercury is almost at a station-ary position. 

Mercury Retrograde for Fall 2014
  • October 4 – October 25
Take note of the time of the retrograde.  It is suggested not to engage in binding contracts, expect delays when traveling or don't travel at all, not to buy electronic equipment or a new car and avoid going under the knife.  It's also a time to take care when speaking, since words may fall out of your mouth differently then you intended.

It's not all doom and gloom though. The bright side to this aspect is that during these periods I have learned to go with the flow and spend time in introspection, reviewing old patterns for release. It's all how you look at it and this timeframe also allows me to practice better patience and not to react when things go haywire, because the only thing we have control over is our reaction. 

Wishing you a blessed day,
