Mercury Retrograde 2021 horoscope: Why this is the worst Mercury
MERCURY Retrograde always puts us at risk of technological mishaps, miscommunications and texts from exes... but this one is set to be the worst Mercury Retrograde EVER. Here's why.
Astrology: Expert explains what your star sign means about you
When a planet goes retrograde, it appears to move backwards in the sky. Each planet has a list of themes it controls or represents and during Retrogrades, the themes are magnified. Mercury is the planet of communication, travel, technology and exchange of information and these things go out of the window with Mercury in Retrograde. Sounds awful, right? Well, this might just be the worst Mercury Retrograde you’ve ever had.
Mercury Retrograde 2021 horoscope
Mercury is already in shadow and he turns Retrograde on May 29 for three weeks.
Astrologer Francesca Oddie (@francescaoddieastrology) described the next three weeks as an “absolute Mercurial mess,” and there’s a big reason for it.
Your Mercury Retrograde experience will differ depending on your own star sign and natal chart, as well as which sign Mercury is moving through… but this one is going to be bad for everyone.
She said: “This is going to be the heaviest Mercury Retrograde there has been for a long time.
“Some Mercury Retrogrades are pretty chill and they just sort of play out and happen…. But this is going to be absolute carnage.”

Why this is the worst Mercury Retrograde EVER
This Mercury Retrograde is set to be particularly bad for several reasons.
In general, Mercury Retrograde is a time where lots of drama, miscommunication, mishaps, and faults in technology tend to happen, and that’s true of the next three weeks.
Each planet rules over a sign or two of the Zodiac and Mercury just so happens to rule Gemini.
It’s Gemini season and Mercury is going to be Retrograde in Gemini - this isn’t great news.
Gemini’s ruling planet is Mercury and whenever a planet is Retrograde in a sign it rules, things are doubly magnified.
This is particularly bad news for Geminis or people with lots of Gemini in their charts.

To make matters worse, the June 10 Solar Eclipse is also going to be in Gemini.
This will further enhance the chaos that is Mercury Retrograde.
When the New Moon is in Gemini, the themes of this chatty, sociable, expressive, fast-faced sign will be kicked up a notch and projected onto all of us through the Moon.
Francesca pointed out that Mercury will be totally Eclipsed during the Solar Eclipse.
He will also make a square with Neptune on June 4 and 6, as he has already done earlier this week.
She explained: “With all of these things going on in Gemini, it looks like absolute carnage.”
Gemini is known for its duality, represented by the two faces or the twins, and we can expect that in life for the next three weeks.
Francesca said: “We can expect there to be incredible instability out there - primarily perhaps within markets, currencies, bitcoin, the dollar and so on...
“Don’t forget to keep an eye out for lots of new and important information.
“There may be news on the ability for testing at airports, changes in rules and there will be backtracking with regards to regulations.”
