I’m sure many of you have heard this phrase before, and may not fully understand or even be curious as to what the hell it even means... I got you!

Mercury retrograde starts on March 22nd, and what that basically is, is that the planet Mercury looks like it is going backwards which creates an optical illusion from Earth.

To get more in depth a lot of people have a HUGE misunderstanding of Mercury being in retrograde and think that for their life will be in shambles for a month — that couldn’t be farther from the truth!

I was born with Mercury retrograde so I am one of the lucky few that the planet being retrograde sort of makes me feel at home, if that makes sense.

Anyway, check out this link and you will see some tips and tricks to get you through this tricky time!

For all you Astrology buffs like me, enter your birth info in any astrological site (I prefer Astro.com) and find out which house this retrograde will be occurring in for you (look up transits for March 22nd to April 15th to find this information out). Once you get your chart,  look for which “house” (the numbers on the center of the wheel) this occurs in.
