What this retrograde invites
Mercury governs the mind, speech, exchanges, travel, the small contracts of daily life. When it goes retrograde, these areas ask for less momentum and more rereading: a time to come back to what was said or signed too quickly, clear up a misunderstanding, tidy, finish what was left hanging.
It is neither a curse nor a reason to put everything on hold. It is an invitation to slow down, to reread before sending, to back things up, and to welcome what returns: a person, an idea, a project set aside.
