The Mars Retrograde in Aquarius runs from June 26, 2018 until August 27, 2018. Aries and Scorpio will be feeling this retrograde in a big way. Mars is an important planet for both of these signs. Mars is considered the God of War. All of us should avoid the tendency to put on blinders, charge ahead and take no prisoners. This is especially true for impatient Aries and suspicious Scorpios. It will probably be a good idea to “chill” and enjoy the summer. Avoid the strong impulse to get angry and cause havoc if you do not get your way.

Mercury Retrograde happens 3-4 times per year. It is when the planet Mercury looks like it is moving backwards from our point of view on Earth. It is not actually moving backwards, it is an illusion of the planet moving backwards. 

If you’ve ever felt like everything is going haywire—your texts are misunderstood, your plans fall apart, emotions are running high, and old issues suddenly resurface—there’s a good chance Mercury is in retrograde or a Full Moon is overhead. But what if both happen at the same time?

The Mercury Retrograde that started during the Solar Storm on March 23rd appears to be in full swing. A Mercury Retrograde is thought to occur when Mercury seems to roll backwards in its movement around the sun. This planet is thought to influence all communication. This is often considered a good time to pay close attention to communication and schedules, avoid starting new things, avoid signing new legal documents, avoid downloading anything new for your computer, and note that people may be more likely to have misunderstandings than usual.

We are officially in the Mercury Retrograde Pre-shadow phase. Mercury Retrograde station happens on March 22, 2018 in Aries. It runs through April 14, 2018 and the post-shadow phase lasts until May 4, 2018. Mercury Retrograde is when it looks like Mercury is traveling opposite its normal direction on the astrological charts. We are predicting April 4th and 5th to be peak rough days of this retrograde.
