Mercury in 2017 will become retrograde already at the beginning of the year! This means that many will have to reconsider their plans and aspirations that you made at the beginning of the year, you will have to return to the results with which you ended last year. Until January 8, Mercury will be retrograde, which means you will have to reconsider your plans for the year and remember what you promised yourself to do for a long time, but did not dare.

A retrograde planet (retrograde) is a period when the planet moves backwards to its movement across the sky. Naturally, this does not literally mean that the planet begins to rotate in the opposite direction, no, in its orbit around the Sun it continues to move as it moved. But to an observer from Earth, the planet’s orbital trajectory will seem as if the planet “went” in the opposite direction.
The most noticeable periods for an earthly observer are the retrograde periods of nearby planets, especially the planet Mercury. This planet goes retrograde 2-3 times a year for an average of 20 days.

What is remarkable about these periods?

Since Mercury is the planet responsible for contacts, trips, moving, negotiations, papers, gossip, information, chaos begins in these matters during the retrograde period. Thus, agreements concluded during this period will not be implemented, encountering constant difficulties. If you write an article during this period, it is unlikely to be published without rework. If you open your business during a retrograde period, there will be constant problems with the “theme” of Mercury. In other words, Mercury returns us to those “starting points” that we need to reconsider so that in the future these moments will be more perfect.

Who and what needs to be vigilant during Mercury retrograde?
Accountants, writers, journalists, secretaries, all those people whose activities are connected with papers and numbers. It was during this period that there were a lot of mistakes, typos, misunderstandings, and dual interpretations of one event. Try not to schedule important things during this period. Double-check your work. Ask your interlocutors again to avoid misunderstandings.

Drivers should pay special attention to the road as... During this period, the “inadequacy” of other traffic participants increases, and accordingly, the number of accidents increases. It is also necessary to pay special attention to the “well-being” of your “iron friend”. Try to make long trips as little as possible.

For pupils and students, this is a fertile time for retaking “debts”; right now you can easily pass everything. But passing new exams, defending papers, and the like may not meet your expectations for the adequacy of the assessment.
This is an unfavorable time for large purchases that are accompanied by the signing of a contract. The deal may be cancelled, and a lot of obstacles and delays will arise through no fault of yours.

Relations between people are also heating up. Try not to offend other people over trifles and do not be offended by an accidentally dropped word. If you look at the situation from the outside, you will appreciate that this person usually does not think or act this way. Protect yourself and your nerves from overload and unnecessary information.

If your love affair begins during the Mercury retro period, then there is a high probability that it will end quickly. Don't tempt Fate.

Favorable on Mercury retrograde:

Correct errors (both in documents and in relationships),
- re-negotiate something
- receive repeated consultations,
- renegotiate contracts,
- go on trips to places you’ve already been (you have every chance of finding something new for yourself),
- restore connections with relatives (if you are in a quarrel)
- reread books,
- get a job at your previous job (if you have such an intention and desire).

However, for those lucky ones in whose natal charts Mercury is retrograde, this period will bring a lot of pleasant surprises. All doors open for them, they are lucky. As the proverb says: “What is good for a Russian is death for a German.” This is exactly how retrograde Mercury acts on owners of the same Mercury in the natal chart. When everyone feels bad, they feel very good.

Mercury retrograde periods in 2017:

I also want to note the special days that happen before and after Mercury retrograde- This days of hospitalization, when it seems to an observer from Earth that Mercury does not change its coordinates as it moves across the sky. These are special days when any business does not find a way out. Everything that begins these days usually passes without a trace and does not carry with it any consequences. This story happened to a friend of mine on stationary Mercury. He lost his passport and didn’t even miss it. They discovered the loss when they called from the railway station and asked me to come to them for the document. He was traveling on a trip that day, apparently accidentally dropped his passport, and it fell into the hands of employees, who quickly found the owner’s phone number and returned the find to him. Passport - document - Mercury, it was stationary that day, which means nothing happened. Much ado about nothing, the event of the loss of the document was planned in heaven, but did not take place 
So, in moments of stationary Mercury you should not enter into contracts, sign important documents (unless you want the event you started to end in zero results), buy cars, write and send letters (because there is a high probability that they will not reach the addressee or you will not receive an answer ). And also perform the actions mentioned above in the article, which are symbolized by Mercury. By the way, no one will ever remember the promises made on this day (provided that the person does not have stationary Mercury in his horoscope, which happens in very, very rare cases).

Stationary periods of Mercury in 2017:

January 8,
April 9-10,
May 02-04,
August 12-14,
September 5,
December 3
December 22-23

Good luck using your astrology knowledge!

    Only the Universe and human stupidity are infinite, and I have doubts about the infinity of the first of them

    On August 13, 2017, the third stage of the retrograde movement of the planet begins, which is responsible for success in commerce and productive negotiations between people. Mercury retrograde in August 2017 brings both new opportunities and dangers. Use this time to correct mistakes and reunite with people whose communication with you was interrupted for some reason earlier.

    In a normal state, Mercury promotes the search for new sources of income. The retrograde of this planet almost completely kills both the desire and ability in people to search for new opportunities. At work, try not to turn off your attentiveness to details and little things. Listen to your mind, not your heart or intuition. Mercury always transfers people's lives from the spiritual to the purely material.

Mercury's retrograde motion, or backward movement, is the planet's path as seen from Earth. The retrograde effect occurs as a result of the difference in the speeds of the Earth and Mercury relative to the Sun. In retrograde motion, the planet repeats its path along the same degrees of the Zodiac through which it has already passed in its direct motion. From an esoteric point of view, this is a return to the past, turning inward, rethinking the experience gained, slowing down in business. Mercury goes retrograde 3-4 times a year. The duration of the retrograde phase is 20 days.

Mercury represents communication, telephone calls, correspondence, mail transfers, our daily mobility and short trips; all types of communication, means of communication, exchange of information, goods and contacts with our immediate environment. It symbolizes our type and style of thinking, as well as the ability and ability to increase our level of awareness both on current issues and in the field of our education. Its transit plays an important role in negotiations and business agreements.

Being the closest planet from the Sun, Mercury is the main filter of our consciousness in the stream of perception of the world. During the period of its retrograde, there is a slowness of thought processes and a desire to analyze accumulated information. Retrograde Mercury is not focused on new connections, new impressions, it immerses us in understanding what we have already learned, and tends to put things in order in our thoughts and contacts.

What can be observed during the retro-Mercury period

At this time, people are more immersed in themselves, they think and communicate a little differently, their mental attention is directed either to the past or to the metaphysical. One way or another, their contact with the real plane decreases at this time. There may be a need for privacy and reduced contact. Communication may use writing more often, and absent-mindedness and forgetfulness are common. Many of the things that have already been started may become stuck; in many cases, it becomes difficult to complete what we started for reasons beyond our control. Conclusions made at this time will not be final and will require re-examination and refinement later.

At this time, rules may change, contracts may be revised, deadlines may be postponed, the publication of manuscripts submitted for printing may be delayed, and difficulties and delays in completing documents may increase. Texts submitted to the publishing house at this time may contain inaccuracies or omissions; proofreaders may not notice gross typos. The likelihood of errors in accounting documentation increases, and important points of information may fall out of sight. In studies, it is more difficult to learn new material; when traveling, there are frequent misunderstandings, delays, and flight delays. Business trips to new places and for new reasons often turn out to be unsuccessful. This period may lead to problems in the field of communications and information exchange (telephone, postal services, e-mail, communication on Internet forums), agreements, decisions, marketing, data processing and storage. At this time, communications, household appliances and transport are more likely to malfunction and break down, and flight delays at airports occur more often than at other times. Pets may need more attention. These tendencies may be more pronounced on days near Mercury's turns to retrograde (R) or direct (D), that is, near the start and end dates of retrograde in the calendar.

For more information about the essence of retrograde, retro-loops of planets and the astrological interpretation of these periods, read the article “Retrograde periods of planets in 2017”

This is an unfavorable time for starting important negotiations, concluding agreements, signing contracts, going to court to file a claim, for business trips, getting a job, starting a business, changing the type of activity, starting new projects, purchasing communications equipment, office equipment and large purchases; for diagnostics and medical examination; to contact new specialists, to start new business relationships, new cooperation; for dangerous trips to new places and starting to learn something new; presentation of new ideas and projects.

At this time, it is useful to return to old affairs and put them in order. This could be finishing up already started tasks and projects, sorting the archive, clearing the computer of unnecessary files. At this time, you can make backup copies of important data and documents, and a site backup. More detailed work on topics that have been postponed for some reason is useful. Returning now to previous ideas, we can find something useful and important in them, this is the time for finalizing projects. To use the retrograde effect, you can take repeated steps during this period in cases that did not get results on the first try.

Life does not stand still, waiting for the direction of Mercury, and sometimes it is at this time that we are forced to deal with paperwork, go somewhere, etc.. In this case, remember some rules. If it is impossible to reschedule your trip, submit or receive documents, or conclude a current contract, negotiate and agree on all points, be extremely attentive to dates and numbers; double-check what you write, read the fine print; check documents when receiving, for example, a visa, for the accuracy of the dates. When arranging a meeting or trip, agree on all the nuances, make sure that you understand everything correctly and that you are understood correctly.

Build up energy. This is a time of analysis and preparation of things that will need to be accomplished after the expiration of the retro period of Mercury. For people in creative professions, this time can be very fruitful. It brings new ideas for the embodiment of unfinished images and plots; now you can understand and work out in more detail what previously did not fit into a finished image or concept.

You can meet old friends whom you haven’t seen for a long time. This is a good time to restore lost connections and resume cooperation. People from the past may appear in our lives. At this time, old connections will be more beneficial than new acquaintances.

For owners of natal retro-Mercury, periods of transit retro-Mercury can be more fruitful than for owners of direct Mercury, since retrospection is their natural environment. But astrological recommendations for the period of this transit are common to everyone, since we are all part of the world in which we live, and the world is in the retro phase of Mercury. Therefore, new initiatives and the beginning of something important, in business, for example, and in other areas where a person depends on people and external circumstances, will have the same consequences for the owner of natal retro-Mercury as for others. At the same time, often for people with natal retro-Mercury, important events in life take place on transit retro-Mercury, those events that do not depend on their current choice.

About the transit of retro-Mercury in combination with the natal chart from N. Markina’s book “Cycles of the Planets”:

« The natal house through which Mercury retrograde is transiting will be an important area of ​​experience. The topics of this house will require a person to have clarity of thought, clarity of speech, and understanding of personal interests. In the sphere of this house there is a need to search for new criteria and new ideals. All radix planets affected by the passage of retrograde Mercury will naturally be included in the general process. The period of retrograde motion of planets is of particular importance when it falls on an angular house, especially on the Ascendant of the radix. Retrograde loops along the Ascendant and the first house require changes in behavior from a person, attention to speech and gestures, appearance, occur in a nervous tense state, but allow you to adjust the expression of planetary functions, realize previously taken initiatives, and discover mistakes in previous endeavors, move away from previous unproductive behavior patterns.”
