Mercury Retrograde Survival

Mercury retrograde invites review and revision. With a few practical tweaks, it doesn’t have to derail your plans.

Before it starts

• Back up devices and key docs (cloud + external)
• Confirm dates, addresses, and contracts in writing
• Build extra time buffers around travel and launches

During the retrograde

• Communicate redundantly: summarize agreements; ask clarifying questions
• Expect edits; avoid locking big irreversible decisions if possible
• Repair, refactor, and revisit — “re-” verbs are your best friends

Mindset

Think maintenance over momentum. Retrogrades aren’t “bad” — they’re periodic chances to slow down, reflect, and realign.
