What zodiac signs will be impacted by the 2022 Mercury retrograde?
When you believe you have everything under control and your troubles solved, Mercury retrograde seems to mix things up. There’s always a problem lurking around the corner when it comes to astrology, and nothing illustrates this more than when Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, starts to move backward through the zodiac rather than ahead. Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, and Sagittarius are the zodiac signs that will be most impacted by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022, so you *might* want to get ready for some technical issues soon.
Mercury usually stirs up temporary turbulence and commotion when it stations retrograde. This retrograde, which occurs three to four times a year, is nothing new to you because you’ve already encountered it numerous times. In other words, there is no need to be concerned; the world will not end, and you will survive it unharmed. Although miscommunications and misunderstandings frequently occur when Mercury is retrograde, it is also a lovely time to reflect on your life, look back on previous endeavors, and take care of any unfinished business.
Mercury retrograde this spring starts on May 10 at 4 degrees Gemini, going backwards. Mercury rules this mutable air sign, so this will be a typical retrograde experience marked by confusion and diversion. Think carefully before you speak, especially if you’re twisting the truth. On May 22, Mercury will reenter Taurus, slowing down the intensity of this retrograde and making it more frustrating for Mercury, who already finds it difficult to move through this rigid fixed earth sign. Fortunately, everything will finish on June 3 just as swiftly as it began.

What effects will Mercury’s retrograde have on 2022?
Beginning on May 10 and lasting through June 3, 2022, Mercury Retrograde is one of the most common explanations for why everything in your life seems to be going wrong. Expect substantial problems, particularly in the areas of technology and communication, during this chaotic moment.
This year, precisely at the start of Mercury’s retrograde phase, there is also a Friday the 13th, which only serves to heighten the spookiness. You’ll feel uneasy on Friday the 13th, which is universally despised as a day of bad karma and eerie vibes.
However, Mercury has been slowing down since the very last day of April, which means that since then, we have been enveloped in a fog. Until the middle of June, this ominous mood will also persist, so take a deep breath and trust that you’ll make it through.
Always try to avoid stressing out during a Mercury retrograde phase by being quiet, relaxing, and being quiet. There will undoubtedly be delays, uncertainty, and drama, but we will all have to deal with it. Go with the flow, avoid signing any contracts, and most definitely avoid starting any significant projects during this period.

What activities should you avoid when Mercury is retrograde?
Ellen Bowles, an astrologer and co-author of Astrology SOS, claims that “we can have technical or mechanical troubles, and our wires can seem crossed in all our channels of communication.” “Planetary retrogrades are occasions for everyone to stop and think. We are being advised to slow down and double-check the details when Mercury is retrograde.” The urge to meticulously examine every last aspect extends beyond the three to four weeks of the retrograde period itself. The same guidelines for what not to do during Mercury retrograde also apply during this time, which lasts for a week or two before and after the actual retrograde. This period is known as Mercury’s shadow phase or “retroshade.”

Sometimes an ellipsis is simply thatan ellipsisand not necessarily a sign that a relationship is doomed.

From May 10 through June 3, mental planet Mercury will be backspinning through the signs of Gemini and Taurus, mucking up all sorts of things when it comes to speaking, time, messaging, and more. If you’re planning any springtime dates, you’ll want to know how the upcoming Mercury retrograde in your sign’s sign in spring 2022 will effect your love life because this transit could have a significant impact on the specifics of our relationships.
Be careful not to say something you don’t mean on a date or misinterpret a partner’s message as this could result in annoyance or misunderstandings as Mercury spends the first half of its retrograde reversing through Gemini, which oversees communication. On May 22, Mercury spins back into earth sign Taurus, altering the energy atmosphere to be more focused on values and resources. During this phase, we can find that Mercury’s slowing encourages us to re-evaluate what worth our time in love.
Venus, the planet of love, will be in audacious and brash Aries for the bulk of this Mercury retrograde phase, encouraging us to be more forward in relationships and extra impetuous about our pleasures. Mars, the planet of passion, enters Aries on May 24 as Venus does, igniting our urge to pursue our goals. The energy of this quick-moving fire sign likes to move rapidly, but Mercury retrogrades are a chance to calm down and evaluate where we are. We’ll have to balance the heat of the love planets with some added retrograde prudence, mindfulness, and care.
