When Mercury is in Aquarius, what happens?
Mercury in Aquarius is quick-witted and perceptive, as well as inspired, critical, and inquisitive. Most importantly, it’s blatantly contradictory. During this transit, we want to socialize and share our opinions with people, but we also want to be in our brains. We enjoy debates but despise lectures.
When Mercury goes retrograde in 2022, what signs will be affected?
Mercury retrograde appears to stir the pot just when you think you have all your ducks in a row and all your troubles solved. When it comes to astrology, there’s always an inconvenience lurking around the corner, and nothing epitomizes this more than when Mercury, the planet of communication and cognition, begins moving backward rather than ahead through the zodiac. If you belong to one of the zodiac signs that will be most affected by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022 Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, or Sagittarius you should be prepared for some technological issues.
Mercury retrograde tends to produce temporary disruption and mayhem when it stations retrograde. This retrograde, which occurs three to four times per year, is something you’re comfortable with because you’ve seen it before. In other words, there’s no need to be concerned; the world will not end, and you will emerge uninjured on the other side. While Mercury retrograde is known for causing miscommunications and misunderstandings, it is also a lovely time to reflect on your life, examine old projects, and take care of unfinished business.
Mercury retrograde begins on May 10 and ends at 4 degrees Gemini this spring. Mercury rules this mutable air sign, making this a classic retrograde experience full of bewilderment and distraction. Keep in mind what you say and how you say it, particularly if you’re stretching the truth. On May 22, Mercury will re-enter Taurus, making this retrograde’s energies slower and more unpleasant, since Mercury already finds moving through this inflexible fixed earth sign difficult. Fortunately, it will all come to an end on June 3rd, just as fast as it began.
Is Mercury in Aquarius a positive sign?
Because Aquarius is a progressive and forward-thinking zodiac sign, many people may find themselves researching novel ways to interact with others and achieve their goals. This zodiac sign also rules technology and social media, so we’ll be focusing on these topics a lot during this period, whether it’s testing out new devices, expanding our LinkedIn network, or trying out TikTok for the first time. Finding like-minded people to interact with will be critical.
Mercury in Aquarius will make us more pleasant, social, and optimistic in our contacts and communication. However, without being emotional, all of our mental energy will be focused on reasoning and clarity. Feelings? Who needs ’em anyway? We’ll be more likely to block someone and go our separate ways if it doesn’t “make sense.”
Mercury will retrograde in January 2022, leaving Aquarius and returning to Capricorn during that time. During his downward spin in this Air sign, though, we’ll be perplexed as to how we’re engaging with others in our networks, particularly casual pals and acquaintances. It’s not a good idea to make bold or absurd comments on social media around that period, as cancel culture will be very prevalent. People will be eager to band together to bring down people they consider to be bad. Many people will receive unexpected phone calls from old acquaintances, indicating that they want to reconnect during this period or that a friend who had previously made a hopeful commitment would be unable to do so. Don’t worry about it. This, too, will come to an end. Life should be back on track by mid-February.
What should you avoid doing in 2021 when Mercury is retrograde?
“We can have technical or mechanical troubles, and our wires in all forms of communication can feel crossed,” says Ellen Bowles, an astrologer and co-author of Astrology SOS. “Planetary retrogrades are periods of communal thought and rest. When Mercury goes retrograde, we are advised to slow down and double-check our work.” The desire to go over every last detail extends beyond the retrograde period itself, which lasts three to four weeks. Mercury’s shadow phase, sometimes known as “retroshade,” lasts for a week or two before and after the retrograde, and the same restrictions apply during this time as they do during Mercury retrograde.
Is Mercury in Aquarius an astute planet?
Mercury in Aquarius people make huge mental leaps forward and are more reasonable and objective in their thinking. Mercury is exalted in this air sign, indicating that the planet of communication travels quickly and easily. Mercury maintains a fixed focus in Aquarius, yet knowledge appears to be snatched out of thin air.
When Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius, what does it mean?
It’s easy to get through Mercury retrograde if you remember to proofread everything, choose your words carefully, avoid signing contracts (or double-check them), back up your data, and prepare for travel problems. The reality is, Mercury retrograde isn’t all bad; in fact, it might serve as a quarterly self-evaluation for you, cosmic fighter. How well prepared are you for annoyances? When things go wrong, how do you handle self-care? While Mercury retrograde is not the best time to make major changes, it is good for introspection.
Staying on top of correspondence, especially with close friends and family, is a prominent issue surrounding the first Mercury retrograde of the year, which begins on Friday, January 14. This retrograde is fueled by Aquarius’ unique spirit. This humanitarian sign, which is ruled by Uranus, has an aloof demeanor and is prone to forgetting to text or phone back. We’re more likely to space out and miss a vital email or leave a lover waiting when the communication planet moves backward. Mercury, on the other hand, is content in this sign. Aquarius’ analytical and cerebral attitude will aid us in taking a step back and remaining calm during any communication snafus. On Tuesday, January 25, Mercury retrograde enters hardworking Capricorn, ruled by rigorous Saturn, and your job is to stay on top of professional communication. If you must sign a business deal during this period, have it double-checked by a third party, such as a lawyer or trustworthy partner.
What planets are currently in Aquarius in the year 2022?
Do you have a strange feeling about things right now? You might blame the current stellium in Aquarius for your troubles.
You might be wondering what a stellium is. A stellium occurs when three or more celestial bodies occupy the same place in the sky beneath one sign in astrology. This energy is motivating us to accept ourselves in new ways because Venus, Mars, and Saturn are all in Aquarius right now. This stellium started on March 6, when Venus and Mars entered Aquarius, and will end on April 5, when Venus left Aquarius and enters Pisces. Vesta, an asteroid, is currently in Aquarius, bringing us even more Aquarius energy. Indeed, this is the most planetary activity we’ll witness all year in Aquarius!
