How and why does Mercury intervene in our plans?

Retrograge Mercury is a period in which the planet Mercury moves more slowly than the world in the orbit around the sun. Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, creates a revolution in 88 days, while the world spends 365 days. When Mercury slows down, our relative position and visual perception of the world change.
Right now, an illusion that the planet moves back: The world is in the inner orbit, and then it passes behind the sun as if it stops and is doing a turn. In fact, Mercury does not change the direction, but this visual effect forces the expectations of many changes that may affect our daily life.
From an astrological point of view, Mercury is considered as a planet of communication, and therefore misunderstandings in communication during the retrograde movement, communication failures and problems in travels often occur. All these areas can now be the source of certain difficulties.
However, Retrograd Mercury itself is not the only stage of this astrological phenomenon. Before and after starting, so -called shadows occur. These periods are characterized by the slowdown and acceleration of the planet when preparing for the retrograde movement for about two weeks.
Retrograd Mercury’s shadows are a great time to look at the latest events with an open head, to evaluate the problems and think of yourself. This is the period when it is worth showing patience, looking at yourself and preparing for the rest of the year. When the shadow of Retrograd Mercury is separated, we can all be in a much better emotional and mental state.
What to do when there is Mercury in Retrograd?
Panic
Something bad doesn’t have to be. Even if something has seen something from the usual rhythm, it is probably more careful for possible changes. Stay reasonable to be easier to deal with difficulties.
Put aside the important conversations
Mercury conducts all kinds of communication, so be patient, if something does not go according to the plan, especially if it does not go according to sudden business meetings or business travels. Organize a personal meeting to exclude misunderstandings in correspondence. Don’t forget the empathy. Even if the agreement is broken, do not cut all people. If something is not going according to the plan, postpone the case to better times.
Be flexible
Focus on conditions, especially business travels. If the flight is delayed, do not panic, but consider how to use the time as efficiently as possible. For example, go to the café and do part of the work, throw a meeting plan. If you are not sure of the new contract, give yourself time for thought. You always have a spare plan.
Place the priorities
Retrogrand Mercury is not a reason to justify daily chaos. Any problem hides opportunities within itself. Has an emergency task fell to work? Instead of doing business home, he was divided into blocks and distributed among his colleagues. Feel free to get rid of the unnecessary ones. Direct the focus of attention to what will really benefit. Similarly, do it in a personal field. In addition to the deeds, remember that there are still popular people and hobbies.
