Mercury Retrograde Causes Relationship Communication Issues

By Lou Raedwulfe


While the world's attention has been focused on the events of the world, Mercury retrograde has its own deadline, there is another deadline that is also approaching which, in its own way, could be as chaotic on an emotional and romantic level. This Fall's Mercury retrograde promises to create all kinds of relationship communication issues.

Fasten your seat belt and put on that face mask because Mercury Retrograde is here with all of its usual and unusual backfires. This time, other planets are also in retrograde, so expect the unexpected. If you have plan A in place, also make sure that you have plan B and C because you may find that you need it.

If you are a social media bug, then you are forewarned to be careful what and how you say things to the outside world. You may send messages of importance to the wrong person or a group of people. Mercury has long been known as the trickster and this is no exception.

Mercury retrogrades give us a front row seat as a witness to some very disturbing communications among our personal relationships. At a deeper and more personal level, we can expect things to go awry and have communication breakdowns during this time as well. They are usually short lived without lasting effects unless the relationship is on its last legs and then breakups can occur.

Mercury going backwards for several weeks can cause transportation problems, especially, short-distance travel. If you have already made plans to travel in the Fall, just be sure to check them over and make sure to re-check them before you actually leave.

If love is clearly shared between you and your partner, you may wonder how you suddenly got into an argument. Where did this come from? How did we get here? You can blame Mercury when this happens. A normally solid relationship can survive this time period as long as you make a mental note that 'this, too, shall pass', because it will.

If you cannot make another person see your side of the picture, if you can, and if at all possible, resume this conversation for a later date. You will have more luck getting them to see and understand your point of view.

This truly is not the time to get upset and try to work out issues that are important to you. If you can wait three weeks, things will be much easier to deal with. It is also very important to meet in person if you must discuss important problems between you as texting or emailing can become an issues in and of themselves.

5 Tips on Keeping Your Relationship Intact During a Mercury Retrograde:

1. Discuss problems in person instead of using texting/email

2. Take a step back during misunderstandings

3. Think before you speak as reality can be distorted

4. Be very diligent when texting and emailing

5. Control your temper; anger can run high during retrogrades

Remember Mercury is a tricky planet and emotions can run haywire for several weeks. Just know that once Mercury begins to chug forward again, your negative emotions and ability to communicate clearly will improve dramatically. Just slow down and take a breather until it passes. Things will be back to normal before you know it. As, always, you'll be glad you waited until Mercury retrograde Mercury retrograde was over.
