But NeptuneвЂ™s signature is all over the retrograde and it has an important message. Interestingly, Mercury does not fully unite with Neptune until well AFTER the completion of the retrograde (on April 4th). This Mercury retrograde begins at 12 degrees of Pisces, with Mercury in conjunction to Neptune at 17 degrees. This gives us an over-arching story about 2020вЂ™s Mercury retrogrades: They are to help us get back in touch with how we really FEEL about what we are hearing, processing, saying, speaking, communicating, and agreeing to. In October/November Mercury will retrograde for a final time in 2020 mostly in the third water sign of Scorpio (and at the end portion in Libra). In June/July, Mercury will retrograde in Cancer. This first retrograde takes place mostly in the mutual, malleable, spiritual sign of Pisces (only the final few days take us back into Aquarius). In 2020, each of the retrogrades will take place predominantly in water signs. Interestingly, these Mercury retrogrades are pretty evenly spaced throughout the year, and often occur in the same element. This is generally three times per year, for about 3 weeks each. However, in astrology we study the movement of the planets from the perspective of earth (geo-centric), and from our perspective here, it looks as though Mercury moves backwards on a fairy regular basis. Because Mercury is the planet of communication, this is in regards to matters of correspondence, verbal/written agreements, and ideas/information in general. Rather, a retrograde planet is an opportunity to re-assess and re-appraise. That would most definitely be a lower vibrational approach to working with the medicine and invitations of a retrograde.

But it is nothing- I repeat NOTHING- to be worried or concerned about. This relatively common celestial phenomenon has gained quite the reputation in the mainstream media over the past few years. *February 16 вЂ“ March 4 retrograde in Pisces
