Here is a Mercury retrograde general timetable, from the linked pages above for your convenience:
- My findings show that the phase before Mercury retrograde (17-28 days before Mercury goes retrograde, which is June 7th this time) is more challenging than the official retrograde period in regards to the general conditions listed below.
- The first 11-12 days (i.e., the collapse phase) of the actual Mercury retrograde period typically represents a breakdown of outworn beliefs and previously made plans.
- The last 11-12 days of the average 24-day Mercury retrograde period are easier than the first 11-12 days; it characteristically consists of rearranging and finalizing plans.
- Completely new, important plans, offers, investment ideas, and so on tend to be more trustworthy about two weeks after Mercury goes direct, instead of before or during the retrograde period.
