Who is ready for another introspection, revision, redoing and re-evaluating round?
While we had three Mercury Retrograte periods in 2023, Mercury retrograde occurs four times in 2024.
December 13, 2023-January 1, 2024
April 1-April 25, 2024
August 5-August 28, 2024
November 25-December 15, 2024
Beginning on August 4 and 5, Mercury starts its retrograde in Virgo and then shifts into Leo on the 14 of August, where it will remain until it completes its backward spin on the 27 / 28 August.
While in practical earth sign Virgo, Mercury retrograde brings an analytical and highly discerning inward reflection. Virgo has an eagle eye for mistakes that can be easily magnified during this time. Mercury in Virgo usually brings a clear, logical down to earth approach to life, and you can use this time to fine-tune and fine-print your endeavours. Virgo is a sign of self-analysis that can assist you to see in which areas of your life you can benefit from more structure and routine to ensure that you stay on track with your projects.
As Mercury shifts into Leo for the remaining time of its retrograde, we are supported by the fire element and direct our focus more outwards. Leo demonstrates in a bold way who he is to the world.
What are your thoughts on Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury is a planet for writers and educators. It rules over all matters of communication including the internet, travel and technology.
Mercury is often called as the messenger of gods/universe in many mythological stories.
And since Mercury is the planet that impacts the mind, expression, travel, communication, awareness and technology the chances are heightened that something does either not go according plan during Mercury Retrograde or unexpected challenges arise that we need to deal with.
Luckily there are quite a few things we can do in advance so that we can be better prepared and more relaxed and flexible if things don’t go as expected or planned.

The traditional advice during Mercury Retrograde goes usually as follows:
“Don’t travel, Don’t sign important contracts, Don’t make life-altering decisions, Don’t marry, Don’t initiate conflicts, Don’t push excessively, Don’t start something new and so on.”
Even though it appears that the Planet is moving backwards for approx. three weeks during Mercury Retrograde in reality, it is not. It is an optical illusion because no planet can move backwards in its orbit. Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun and is slightly larger than the Moon. When Mercury reaches the farthest point from the Sun, it changes direction to rectify its path. It is also the fastest planet in our solar system and that’s why it enters retrograde approx. three to four times a year.
Everything that requires adjustments and moderation becomes more visible during Mercury Retrograde.
That’s why the energies of Mercury Retrograde are favourable for reframing, reconsidering, recalculating, recalibrating, revising, refreshing, rescheduling, rejuvenating, rethinking, and especially clarifying. It is a chance to observe things from another perspective, to untangle our thoughts and responses, and to be more vigilant, alert, and observant to triggers and negative patterns.
Mercury Regrograde offers us an opportunity to complete unfinished tasks, to review our past projects and to settle disagreements.
Mercury impacts speech, expression, analytical skills, intelligence, mind, logic, sharp intellect, business success, friendship, education, earnings and financial stability.
What Mercury retrograde means for your business
Mercury retrograde is not a conducive time to launch a new business venture, but it is a supportive time to revisit and rework things from your past to reach out to clients and customers with whom you haven’t been in touch for a while. It’s also a supportive time to strengthen your energy around finances and to take care of unfinished business.

During each Mercury cycle, the planet is stationary twice, when it changes direction. These so called “Mercury Retrograde stationary pauses” can be highly important and insightful times. They provide us an opportunity to slow down and to pay more attention which will help to minimise the negative manifestation of Mercury Retrograde such as miscommunication and misunderstandings.
The stationary phase of Mercury usually feels more intense energetically as it acts as a cosmic gateway, prompting us to be more alert and awake to fine-tune our communication skills, strengthen our intellectual abilities, and become more flexible in terms of adjusting to changes and challenges with patience, resilience and resourcefulness. It invites us to embrace clarity and precision in our thoughts, words, and actions, and to develop a flexible and adaptable approach that will allow us to navigate the peaks and valleys of life with more courage, confidence and grace.
Pay also special attention during Mercury Retrograde where you are being asked to surrender your ego in service to the infinite creator or a higher cause. We will become more aware during Mercury Retrograde of our attachment that things should go a certain way and observe our reactions when shake-ups and hick-ups happen.
Since communication is an important aspect of any type of relationship, delayed messages and misunderstandings can lead easily to hurt feelings, irritability, frustration, conflicts or disagreements. Use this opportunity to be more mindful and alert when you communicate with others and strengthen your most important relationships so that they won’t get easily shaken as soon as a tiny challenge arises in the future. Be vigilant that you do not get easily offended yourself and take a chill pill more often. Soften your words and think twice before you speak. If you still get entangled into an argument do not draw hurried conclusions.
Besides relationships travel is another crucial aspect of our modern-day to day life. Don’t stop living your life during Mercury Retrograde but take some additional precautions when you plan a trip. Leave your house a bit earlier if you have important appointments, arrive at the station 15 minutes earlier if you are using public transport and 30-60 minutes earlier than you usually would at the airport if you need to catch a flight. But most of all keep in mind that the universe will always orchestrate situations for us that are relevant for our evolution and sometimes such a lesson might imply embracing an unexpected adventure, or finding a creative solution to changed plans.
Mercury can manifest as well as a trickster to get our attention especially if we are not doing what we are meant to do and are not following the path of our HIGHER SELF. The more unaware we are of the guidance of our Higher Self the more unpleasent the experiences during Mercury Retrograde will be. Mercury Retrograde is a time for stepping back from anything that is not aligned with our true path and to listen more to our intuition.
The body parts which are affected by Mercury are arms, ears, lungs and the nervous system. Mercury has also an influence people’s artistic and soft skills. That’s why mercury Retrograde offers us the opportunity to develop skills such as
- Communication
Teamwork
Problem-solving
Time management
Critical thinking
Decision-making
Organizational
Stress management
Adaptability
Conflict management
Leadership
Creativity
Resourcefulness
Choose the middle way during Mercury Retrograde and remain fluid and flexible. If you withstand the temptation to overreact or to label something that happens as negative you will start to see positive effects in all events regardless of how inconvenient things might look like initially.
It is also highly recommended to slow down during Mercury Retrograde and to reduce unnecessary distractions. Dedicate instead more time to meditation, and yoga and practice single-pointed focus.
Mercury resonates with the colour green. The colour of balance, calmness and the heart chakra. That’s why Mercury hold the capacity to calm an agitated mind.

Hi, I am Erika – Shri Lakshmi.
I am a life-purpose coach and holistic counsellor. It’s not a requirement but people usually come to me in transition. My approach is both practical and mystical/spiritual. My mission is to invite you into higher states of being by cultivating inner awareness, empowerment and love.
I can deliberately enter an expanded state of consciousness and have mastered the ability to tap into the SOURCE of LOVE, WISDOM, ABUNDANCE and POWER and I am strongly dedicated to further learning and expansion.
It is my intention to inspire, empower you and help you to find more clarity in life and reconnect with your true self. I help people to become more aware of their gifts and also their beliefs and values.
As you start to remember who you truly are, you naturally start to re-align with your true self and your life purpose. Your life can then start to flow in a far more creative and joyful way with new meaning and direction.
It is my intention to give joyfully, following my heart’s knowledge and make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. I have been trained in a number of different healing techniques including energy psychology, relationship healing and a diverse array of therapeutic interventions, but I don’t follow any particular tradition or concept as I work intuitively from the heart.
Together, we generate insight and transformation. My work is a co-creative, collaborative partnership with you to create the deepest insight, empowerment, clarity, wellbeing, healing and possibility, and enable you to share this with others.
