Mercury goes into retrograde from March 12 to April 4, a period where it seems Mercury is travelling in reverse to the Earth. People believe during this period communication breaks down and issues with travelling occur.
What mercury retrograde represents is a period of inward focus. We spend much of our lives directing a lot of our time and energy at others, the outside world, and furthering ourselves in society. Mercury retrograde specifically seems to be the time that the universe tells us to take a break from that and seek answers within ourselves. For a period of 3 weeks the emphasis is taking a break from communications from others and instead entering a period of reflection in our thought process, reevaluate where we’re planning so ambitiously to go.
