Mercury Retrograde Relationships & Breakups
If you're not an expert in all things astrology, hearing someone mention that Mercury is in or is going into retrograde may sound a bit foreign to you. After all, what does that even mean? Is it just an excuse for people to communicate poorly or have bad attitudes? Is it something that really happens or is it some sort of unsolved mystery? Does Mercury in retrograde have an effect on the way you communicate with those in your life?

Though it may be a little confusing at first to understand, astrologer Leslie Benson, founder of the website Astrology for Awakening, told INSIDER that Mercury retrograde is very real and has a bigger impact on our lives than we probably realize.

"In modern western astrology, Mercury represents the areas of life involving mental functions, attaining knowledge, communications, and short travels," she revealed. "Mercury goes into retrograde motion, which is when the planet appears as though it slows to a standstill in the sky, and then begins moving backward in the opposite direction for a few weeks, where it again stops and then begins to move forward again. The planet doesn't actually move backward, it just appears as though it does from our earthly vantage point. When this time comes along, it has corresponding symbolism and indications in astrological meaning."

Mercury retrograde happens between three and four times a year and although its effects may not be noticeable to you at first, once you start to take stock of the way events in your life are altering, you'll see how much of an impact it truly does have on the relationships that surround you.

Though everyone will see a change, Mercury going into retrograde will not have the same effect on everyone. This is mostly dependent upon what part of the zodiac Mercury is traveling retrograde through, and how that particular position relates to a person's birth chart.

"Those whose ruling planet is Mercury — people with Gemini Rising or Virgo Rising — may be more in tune with the planet's cycles, so they could have a heightened experience of it," Benson said. "If someone has an otherwise strongly placed Mercury in their birth chart, or their sun sign falls under the rulership of Mercury — either Gemini Sun or Virgo Sun — they may be more in touch with the Mercurial energies, as well."

Researching your own birth chart can help you figure out exactly how you'll feel when the retrograde hits.
