This section is for more advanced students because once you delve further into astrology, you’ll learn that as Mercury retrogrades, it sometimes comes up against one or more of your planets as it ‘reverses’. This is known as a transit.

When this transit is a conjunction, in other words when Mercury is on the same zodiac degree as one of your planets, you’re likely to feel the retrograde cycle even more strongly.

This section is for readers who already know their astrological chart and can work out if and when a Mercury retrograde cycle will hit their planets.

The following interpretations are written from the point of view of Mercury retrograding in conjunction with one of your planets; however, they equally apply if Mercury retrograde opposes or squares (clashes with) your planets.
