Why Is Mercury Always In Retrograde?
I'm starting to get suspicious
It seems a little excessive at this point.
As someone who has to go on their Co Star whenever anyone asks what their moon and rising signs are (Taurus Moon, Libra Rising…read me), I like to pay attention to the stars and signs, however, truly don’t pay too much attention.
I’m a Cancer, which, makes a lot of sense if you know me, and basically means that I’m sensitive, cry, love rom coms, am overreactive, and overthink quite literally everything.
Does that sound a lot like you, even if you’re not a Cancer? Well, that’s probably because these qualities could be literally anyone, no matter what date and time you were born.
Nonetheless, I love to learn about astrology, I love to hear from my friends who are very knowledgeable on the topic, and sometimes, it’s nice to know that there’s an energy shift in the universe, and not something wrong with me.
What I don’t love, is being told that ‘Mercury is in retrograde’ every month, it seems.
The media is telling me that this is only the second time Mercury has gone into retrograde during 2022, but I think the fact that everyone loves to talk about it is what brings this idea to the forefront of my social media feed.
A strong belief that I have about astrology is that it gives people an excuse for their rude, weird, or just plain wrong behavior. For example:
Ugh, don’t take Becky seriously, she’s just a Sagittarius and says what she wants.
Our date went so terribly…he didn’t pay the bill and talked about his ex the entire time. I hate Taurus men.
They’re such a stubborn f*cking Virgo!
You can’t just give a backhanded compliment and call yourself a Leo.
Mercury in retrograde means a few things. 1. We can expect cheugy memes from cheugy publications.
2. Influencers WILL be talking about it for content.
And finally, 3. Everyone will make you think something is happening to you, even if it isn’t.
Whether you feel a shift in your energy center or not, don’t let Cosmopolitan tell you there is. Or sell you a sweatshirt like this.
If you’re feeling the effects of these repeat, seemingly never-ending events, here are some things you can do to bring it all back in:
Journal
Sleep
Watch The Real Housewives
Pinterest your summer vision board
Go for a walk
Delete Instagram for 24 hours

Sit and embrace the weird shift, because that’s okay too <3
Send this to a friend who’s suffering from Mercury in retrograde, just because someone is saying it’s happening.
PREACH IT LIV!!!!
