The Retrograde planet simply turns inwards, so to speak. Take the Re from Retrograde and apply it to your life - re-view, re-vise, re-think, re-focus, re-mind, re-arrange, re-adjust, re-consider, and so on.

The planetary energy isn't going to cause any problems, it's simply in an inward-focused state.

Mercury Retrograde

So then, is such common advice to not sign contracts relevant for the planet of communication going Retrograde?

It's relevant, but misleading. And after all, sometimes you have to get a contract signed. The point to understand is that Mercury Rx naturally thinks more loosely and openly rather than in a focused way. In our modern societies, we're just not very good at slowing down.

In such a loose state of mind you might miss vital details. However, if you're able to go over a contract with a fine-toothed comb, without rushing, or have done so already before the Retrograde period, then there's nothing wrong with signing up.

Instead of focusing on what a Retrograde period doesn't support, it seems many times more useful to focus on what it does.

No planetary energy is 'good' or 'bad', it simply is. It's how we work with it that makes the difference.
If we attempt to go against it, we're just choosing the more difficult path for ourselves.

In fact, I firmly believe that when things 'go wrong', it's a sign that we are taking the wrong approach or putting our energies into the wrong area. We can use mishaps and malfunctions as a reminder to re-align ourselves.

Computer malfunctioned? Perhaps you have felt the need to quieten the mind, or to take time to consider a specific issue, or simply to get out into nature and recharge. Instead, you hop back onto your laptop and fill you had with information - bam, computer goes down.

Love it, N!

I have Merc Retro in Gemini.I really, really like it. I do learn differently. It was always weird to me how I learned because it did seem different than others, sometimes. However, you MUST learn the subjects deeply. There is no superficial studying for a test at the last minute and forgetting it the next day. It has to go deep for you to use it.
I have other Retros, which I don't like lol like Chiron

That's an interesting take on it. I have Mercury retrograde in Scorpio.

Hi Ami Anne. Yes, it's a different way to learn. And retro Mercs are here to find new perspectives. They can be rebellious or resistant to ideas, maturity leads to wonderful intuitive abilities.

Hi Valentine, a probing mind being in Scorpio, but the retrograde adds an even deeper more introspective layer. Probably really good at self-awareness and seeing the motivations of others.

I'm going to search if there are articles there about other retrogrades. All my outer planets are retro...

I liked this point of view. It's refreshing.

Sometimes we're annoyed at certain transits, but astrology should mainly be about how to deal and profit from all planetary conditions.
