As soon as spring comes, active changes in life, traveling around Russia and sunbathing in nature with friends and relatives, when suddenly it rises – Mercury retrograde!
The period of confusion will begin on May 10 and end on June 3. For safety, lie down for a few days before and after, during this time Mercury changes its speed and slows down a bit.
Astrologer Alena Kokareva is sure that the month of May should never be deleted from the calendar.

Do not rush to get upset and cancel important plans. There is a complete list of activities and things that are very beneficial to do during Mercury retrograde. And you don’t have to put your life on hold. It is enough just to reconsider some priorities and reap the benefits.
What could be better not to do during this period?
- Do not prepare or initiate significant business projects, transactions, contracts.
- Do not start repairs or large-scale purchases of large goods, and especially equipment.
- Do not schedule interviews, do not find a promising new job.
- Do not start a long and difficult training.
- Do not publish new websites, internet and mobile applications.
- Do not plan global financial calculations, reporting, business development expenses.
- It is advisable not to register a marriage, a new business, not to announce the start of the sale of new products.
Be extra careful when planning or exiting trips. Check the serviceability of the car, the departure time of the flight, the availability of all documents. And most importantly – whether the hotel is booked or paid for, here Mercury likes to surprise.
Why is it better to postpone all this?
No, everything does not fall apart, collapse and burn with a blue flame. But Mercury retrograde has side effects and I don’t want to deal with them.
After the setback, unexpected details may appear that no one warned us about: two chairs arrived, but fabrics of different shades, there are no fasteners and screws in the cabinet, and the purchased refrigerator suddenly opens in the wrong direction. A trifle, but the residue remains.
You often need to remake and review projects, advertisements, diagrams, routes, and drawings. Accounting should be subject to particularly tight control, as an extra digit in an undefined Excel column can generate noise.
He likes to disappoint the delivery of goods and payment systems for goods and services. All of a sudden, your salon appointment didn’t go through and the manager didn’t call back with confirmation. Worth checking out.
Mercury retrograde has a particularly strong effect on social networks and Internet platforms: pages do not load, ads are not approved, you can log in to your account for the third time. And then the purchased equipment completely begins to live a kind of life on its own – it decides when it should work, what to install and remove.
What should be done?
- Fix old things: straighten trousers, change fur coat, replace battery in phone and watch.
- Provide functional renewal of the interior, not too large-scale. Demolishing the wall is not worth it, but updating the paint in the bedroom is a good option.
- Attract old customers: post an ad in an existing database, search for unresponsive ones, update an already existing ad.
- Selling old or unused items.
- Finally, return to abandoned training, course, sports activity. Or deepen your knowledge – attend a refresher course or a coaching session with a mentor.
- Deal with the cockroaches inside you: work on your character, your habits, dive deep into yourself.
