- DR in romantic relationships: It can be harder to reach a common denominator between putting in what you want and pleasing someone else.

Is Mercury Retrograde Good?
It is important to remember that in addition to problems, the retrograde period is a time of revision. So you can (and should) take advantage of the moment to rethink projects, review texts, review agreements, reevaluate relationships, etc.
This is a good time to reflect, not to take initiatives: that’s the secret. Here you really understand what Mercury retrograde is.
Additionally, Mercury retrograde can be very helpful regarding various aspects of life. For example:
- If you write and want to revisit things you’ve already done, now is the time.
- If you know how to use the period as a self-evaluation, to plan better and prevent mistakes, it can be incredible.
- It’s ideal for reflection.
- Thinking may slow down. Don’t cover yourself! Have fun and relax!
- Think: how do you want to improve your daily life?
- Take care of the routine.
- Test your flexibility when things don’t go as planned.
- Review habits that aren’t good for you and remove them from your routine.
