Mercury retrograde challenges
Now that you know where Mercury is in your chart, find out what Mercury Retrograde challenges are for you.
1st house: inner reflection
When Mercury retrograde occurs in the 1st house, it’s time to turn inward. Avoid the urge to share all your thoughts on social media, as misunderstandings can happen more easily. In this sense it is a phase of introspection, where communication with oneself becomes crucial.
2nd House: financial caution
With Mercury retrograde in the 2nd house, a conservative attitude towards money is advisable during this period. Therefore, it is prudent to avoid any significant buying or selling. A careful look at finances, avoiding unnecessary risks, is essential to face the possible challenges of this stage.
3rd house: communication
With Mercury retrograde in the third house, the focus must turn to authentic communication. Avoid spreading false information and think twice before sharing anything. Short trips can be postponed, as the risk of unexpected events is greater. So it’s time to carefully consider the words and commitments you make.
4th house: family problems
Retrograde Mercury in the 4th house can bring up family issues you thought were resolved. Dealing with these issues requires discernment: only resolve what you can and respect the will of others to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
5th house: past relationships
When Mercury retrograde occurs in the 5th house, there is the possibility of reunions with people from the past. Therefore, caution should be exercised, especially when it comes to promises of change in old relationships. If you’re just looking for fun times, have fun, but getting back into a relationship might not be the best choice at the time.
