Calling the Ex? Learn What Not to Do During Mercury Retrograde

The most daunting time in Astrology is approaching. The planet of communication will be retrograde in Leo from July 18 to August 11. During this period, you must pay extra attention to how you communicate because this transit influences the Leo ego. Therefore, astrologer João Bidu has selected some tips on what not to do when Mercury is in retrograde.

Know What to Avoid During Mercury Retrograde

Starting New Projects
First, it’s important to see this time as a period for reviewing tasks and reflecting. Therefore, starting new projects is not advised during Mercury retrograde. This advice applies to both professional and personal life. Instead, it’s better to focus on finishing pending tasks.

Relationship Discussions
Avoid relationship discussions during Mercury retrograde. Because communication is impacted by this transit, old flames might reappear in our lives. Thus, it’s vital to manage emotions carefully and avoid heated arguments.

Major Changes
Third, big changes are also not recommended. Similar to earlier advice, before making major changes, remember that this transit is about reflection and analysis—not action. So postpone all possible changes and decisions.

Avoid Relying Solely on Technology During Mercury Retrograde
Finally, Mercury retrograde is known for causing technological glitches. To avoid being caught off guard by electronic devices, make backups and save copies of your files. Also, remember this period is temporary, so be patient if technology fails you.
