2012 Mercury Retrograde

The first Mercury retrograde which takes place in April/March, 2012 will bring major events of challenge, transition and transformation. In the July/August Mercury retrograde, the fiery energy of Leo activates the winds of change and create situations that branch out into many new directions. The November Mercury retrograde gives our goals as aspirations a deeper perspective through Scorpio being activated during this process. The same signs, same degrees were the Mercury retrogrades experienced in the year of 1933.

As Mercury slows down before the Retrograde period, we call it the Pre-Retrograde. Mercury starts losing power then and hence new ventures cannot do well in this period. Then there is the Post-Retrograde when Mercury picks up or gains speed but is still moving slowly enough to cause a slow progress in the projects undertaken. During the Mercury Retrograde period it is best advised not to venture into any new territory and to stay put.
