What does retrograde in mercury mean?

When someone has Mercury retrograde in their birth chart, they usually think of what they wanted to say after it is too late to say anything. Bad? Sometimes people without retrograde Mercury say things impulsively and later wish they could take it back. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Mercury retrograde in the sky right now? It merely means that everyone is being a little sloppier than usual mentally. Try to avoid signing contracts unless you are absolutely certain you know what you are signing. And postpone decisions - IF it is convenient - because you may change your mind after Mercury has turned direct again. Of course, it you change your mind all the time anyway, this is not different from usual. It is also a good idea not to buy a vehicle while Mercury is retrograde because it is more likely to be a "lemon" than at other times.

When someone has a retrograde it means they're using an earth centered model of the solar system. Put the sun back at the center where it belongs and this anomaly will take care of itself. There are no such things as retrograde orbits. It's an illusion based on an incorrect model of the planets. Go ask your favorite physics professor.
 
People become introverted and subconscious takes over. Mercury stands for mental processes, and when it’s retrograde you can observe any or all of the following: re-prioritizing, losing and misplacing stuff, lateness or earliness, getting stuck on the airport, misunderstands and mis-communications.
