People with natal mercury retrograde: how do you feel during mercury retrogrades?

[Charles]

I have a natal mercury rx in leo and I’ve been thinking about this. I kind of thrive during retrograde, my mind is significantly clearer and I gain more energy and motivation every time. I was wondering if anyone with this feels similar?

I have mercury rx in gemini. I wouldn’t say mercury except works best for me seeing as how lock clockwork, my trains are always late, internet issues (especially these days via zoom) etc.

I try not to listen to the hype about not buying electronics or signed documents” but when I signed a document I’m mercury shadow period and then once mercury officially went retrograde, the job fell through. Just try to buy headphones during mercury shadow period and only one ear works ????????????‍♀️… I think I learned my lesson. Lol

I also noticed that when mercury is in retrograde, things never “start” for me. Opportunities and next chapters are delayed so I use this time to reflect,review and prepare for mercury direct. Once mercury direct, I notice things start up again and I am ready.

I wouldn’t say mercury works best for me tho, I’ve learned that the planet’s do not adhere to “good” or bad concepts that we place on them

Yes. I’ve often heard that for us natal MerRx-ers, retrogrades are the only time life feels normal.

Lol!! I’ve always said this I get excited for the retrograde bc my life is always better during that time. Crazy

I just feel whatever tbh. Doesn’t affect me at all & it’s prob bc my Mercury isn’t that prominent in my chart being retrograde & debilitated in Pisces & tucked away in the 8th house which is neither a trine house or a Kendra/pillar house.

Mercury retrograde in libra. I’ve been attentive on the last mercury retrogrades but nothing relevant happened.
I wouldn’t say life goes better nor worse.
