Mercury retrograde: Does it really affect us?

Summary

66% Informative

Astrologists say Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion which occurs three or four times a year.

It is a similar effect to when one car overtakes another and, to those in the faster car, the slower vehicle appears to be moving backwards.

People have observed Mercury going into retrograde for thousands of years , and many believers in astrology link it to personal problems.

Astrologists say astrology may provide a 'fast and easy explanation' for difficult events.

But many find star signs a gateway to inspiration, entertainment or some spiritual solace.

Mireille Hammal , a Beirut -based specialist in Reiki , says clients who believe in the influence of the Mercury retrograde avoid purchasing electronics during that period.
