Pre-Mercury Retrograde planning

If you’ve ever felt like your plans suddenly fall apart, your technology acts up, or miscommunications happen more often—there’s a good chance Mercury Retrograde is at work.

Mercury Retrograde is often blamed for chaos, delays, and breakdowns. But here at The Psychic Line, we like to look at it from a different angle. This cosmic event can also be a powerful time for creativity, reflection, and spiritual growth. With a little preparation, you can navigate Mercury Retrograde with clarity and confidence.

Whether we’re in the pre-shadow, retrograde, or post-shadow phase, the energy can feel intense. But that doesn’t mean it has to throw your life off balance.

How to Prepare for Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde encourages us to slow down, reflect, and reorganize. Here are a few helpful things you can do right now to stay ahead of the game:

• Get your car tuned up. Mercury rules travel—taking care of vehicle maintenance ahead of time helps prevent unexpected issues.

• Back up your devices. Computers, phones, and data storage—protect the technology you depend on.

• Double-check your appointments. Miscommunications are common during this time, so confirm times and dates with others.

• Give yourself extra time. Delays happen—build some breathing room into your calendar.

• Make to-do lists and get organized. Clean up your space, tie up loose ends, and simplify your schedule.

• Run big errands early. Avoid launching new projects or signing contracts during the retrograde if possible.
