March 2018, Mercury Retrograde in Aries

Mercury Retrograde in Aries

Mercury is the messenger God, the communicator par excellence, represented by Hermes in Greek mythology, for many believers, Mercury is the same Etruscan God Turms, the messenger of the gods and guide of the souls of the dead in the underworld, and for many others is an incarnation of Hermes, the messenger of the Gods in the Greek pantheon, in any of these three versions the god fulfilled the function of God of commerce, abundance, and commercial success.

Mercury has always been represented as a restless, rebellious and adventurous spirit. It is also known as the protector of the roads and the guide of all travelers.

In astrology, Mercury is linked to the field of the intellectual, communication, roads, opportunities, languages, academic studies, oral and written language and the exchange of information. When Mercury is in its retrograde phase all these facets lose their usual rhythm and all kinds of setbacks arise, setbacks that immediately disturb the order and daily routine, so it is advisable to take immediate precautions.

Each transit of retrograde Mercury is a time of introspection within our collective, it is a moment to take things with a certain calm because the energies and all the processes of communication and exchanges of information begin to lose speed. Whenever we are facing one of these cycles of Mercury backsliding, the focus should be our goals and aspirations. It is a good time to make plans and prepare, save energy for a new cycle.

This period from March 23, 2018, to April 15, 2018, we will have Mercury Retrograde in the Sign of Aries, the leading sign, and obstacle course par excellence, this will keep us motivated despite all the circumstances, but not everything ends there, because, on March 20 (a few days before), the conjunction between Mercury and Venus will begin, so be very attentive, as communications in the aspect of love and affection will be immediately affected.

This first cycle of the year has to do with ingenuity and immediate reaction, but also with an error in calculations or judgment due to haste, irritability, angry talk, fights, lack of communication and road accidents as a result of haste or carelessness when handling dangerous objects.

Good time to plan calmly and take a break from those projects that do not seem to be moving forward.
