According to Sandy

Yes, there will be 4 Mercury Retrogrades in 2022 (instead of the usual 3 per year).  Hmmm – as in, “things that make you go…”

*Jan 14      ~ February 03, 2022

*May 10     ~ June 2, 2022

*Sept. 9     ~ October 2, 2022

*Dec. 29    ~ January 18, 2023

Planet Mercury is concerned with information, travel, education, tech stuff and small appliances. Labeled “the Communication planet”, it’s often confusion generating Retrograde period gets blamed for the unexpected snafus that occur in life.

There are some of us that have already been experiencing the effects of January’s Mercury backward motion, (my printer just refused to work after 15 years of reliable service). That’s because the planet starts the slow down about 2 weeks before the actual day of the stop & turnaround = Retrograde. It’s called the “storm period” and electronics, personal contacts, can start to go sideways all of a sudden.

We will get through it, again. (I was able to fix my printer!) Pay attention– details, details, details. Back up your stuff! Don’t let carelessness or lack of focus bite you in the nether regions. Watch what you write and be conscious of what you say in order to lessen the possibility of breakdowns as you interact with others.

Mercury Retrograde “chaos” is not inevitable!

FYI: Mercury just “appears” to go backwards. Planets only move forward, however, due to the earth’s changing speed as it orbits around the Sun, the positions are such that it looks like a reverse motion from earth.
