Mercury retrograde occurs from August 5 to August 28, 2024.
Some of the common problems the Mercury retrograde period is more likely to include are delays and setbacks involving travel and communication, faulty discernment, increased indecision, and trouble with new endeavors. Charging ahead without careful consideration is more likely to yield disaster during these types of periods.
However, the Mercury retrograde period frequently offers, for example, an opportunity to find solutions to existing problems, complete on-going projects, and connect with old friends. It’s a time to re-do, re-think, re-connect, and re-assess.
Be extra careful with important decisions involving investments, large purchases, and legal matters, including contracts. New concepts and ideas originating during Mercury retrograde (particularly during the first half of it and the three weeks before Mercury goes retrograde) are often amended later.
See this page for a thorough list of Mercury retrograde themes and a general timeline.
As mentioned in the linked information above, the approximate three-week period leading up to Mercury retrograde usually involves more challenges than the actual retrograde period.
