Mercury is the planet of communication and travels over short distances, so these aspects will be great affected by this planet’s retrogrades, the signs being ruled by this celestial body, Gemini and Virgo, feeling its effects the most.

Between the 5th of March and the 28th of March 2019, Mercury is in retrograde in Pisces and will inspire people to dream big and to be as creative as they can, not to mention how encouraged they’ll feel to meditate and to be mindful. The shadow will end on the 28th of April.

Between the 7th of July and the 3rd of August 2019, Mercury will fall in retrograde in Cancer and Mars will have a strong influence at this point, bringing about harshness and aggressiveness.

Natives may have a need to express their opinions more, but they’ll surely regret any nasty comment made about others. The more Mercury will move in retrograde in Cancer, the more people will be concerned about their family. It’s also a good period for rethinking the most recent decisions and actions that have been taken. By the 16th of August 2019, this shadow will end.

Between 31st of October and 20th of November 2019, Scorpio will be the sign hosting the retrograde of Mercury, which means more intense emotions and the need to explore feelings that have been present and kept hidden for a long period of time.

This time period will be very good for questions about moving forward and the purpose of any action, but not at all beneficial for investments. This shadow will be over on the 8th of December 2019.

All Mercury’s retrogrades should be studied because they’re encouraging people to slow down, no matter what they may be focusing on. It’s true the world nowadays is forcing everyone to accelerate and to do things while on the run, but many issues can be avoided when everyone is patient and allowing for good things to happen.

It’s never a good idea to jump from one task to another because this can’t bring anything good and projects may remain unfinished or poorly executed as people who were working them hurried too much.

Very often, the desire to succeed at everything can impede people from accomplishing things and from having the success they so much desire, especially because they’re not focusing on doing things right, but more on just finishing projects.

Mercury in retrograde comes to change all this and to help people to focus more on doing things the right way, even if this means going back and analyzing what changes need to be done.

Being more patient and taking things slowly can help with situations that no longer seem to have a solution, not to mention how much it helps with acquiring positive energies.

However, this is also a transit that’s bringing chaos to the mind, in communication, during travels or it messes up with electronics.

During this period of time, natives will need to react patiently and calmly when provoked, or to take their time to think things through when the situation will seem chaotic.

Double-checking everything they’ll do, from the sent emails to what have they’ve posted on Facebook may be a very good idea when Mercury is in retrograde. This is also not a good moment for negotiating contracts, so business should be kept to a minimum when this planet is in retrograde motion.

Many details won’t be available, not to mention there’s the possibility for others to be dishonest. If traveling, natives should be very cautious and schedule all of their trips ahead.

As far as making decisions, communicating and using transport means, things seem to be very risky, so it’s not suggested to do all these during this period of time. Therefore, cautiousness and a clear mind are advised when Mercury happens to be in retrograde.
