. A retrograde occurs when the planet appears to travel backward in the sky, and in Roman mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the Gods. Our cosmic problematic fave, Mercury is the planet of communication and rules Virgo and Gemini, which is why both these signs can be tricksters. You've probably heard all the rumors about Mercury retrograde being generally terrible. Communication is wonky. An email from a coworker may randomly decide to send itself to the trash.
, this Mercury retrograde makes no planetary aspects. It does, however, connect with a star called Sirius, which is the brightest star in the sky.Sirius is much less dramatic than any of the planets, but it's still brilliant. It's the star of wealth, abundance, honor, passion, and resentment. Overall, it's actually pretty positive. When Sirius connects with Mercury retrograde, it can help us make decisions that lead us on a path towards abundance.
With our focus on community and the pull of the brightest star, use this Mercury retrograde to reflect and repair any past communication errors — especially for white folks who have avoided tough conversations for long enough. When we ignore unresolved issues, they stay unresolved. Right now, in America, we have a chance to confront racism head-on.
Use the family-focused pull of Cancer to support the communities you align with and have tough talks with any friends or relatives who still have a lot of work to do. Have them now, because the next Mercury retrograde likely won't be so friendly.
