zodiacs in a uniform way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you start paying attention to the things happening around you and in your life during this phase, you realize the importance of this phenomenon. This phenomenon happens three to four times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Mercury_Retrograde\"><\/span><strong>What is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mercury_(planet)\">Mercury <\/a>Retrograde?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three or Four times a year, the first planet of our solar system, <strong>Mercury<\/strong>, is said to retrograde which means that the planet moves in the opposite direction to the planet Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact thing happens when Earth passes Mercury in the orbit around the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pexels-photo-631477-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Mercury Retrograde\" class=\"wp-image-77598\" width=\"488\" height=\"338\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Mercury_actually_retrograde\"><\/span> <strong>Does Mercury actually retrograde?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is no. The planet just starts moving slower than the Earth which gives the illusion of it moving in the opposite direction. As it is situated very close to the sun, it has a small orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Now if you are traveling in a vehicle, and if another vehicle comes from the same direction and speed pass you, you will know that it is going faster than you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the same vehicle slows down after crossing you and you pass them, will you not get the illusion of it going in the opposite direction? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same happens in case if <strong>Mercury Retrograde<\/strong>. The speed of the Mercury revolving around the Sun just slows down and people get the effect that it is going in the opposite direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to know when your zodiac experienced or will experience <strong>Mercury Retrograde<\/strong>? Keeping a track of these periods will help you to increase your productivity and get rid of at least some frustration they can bring to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mercury_Retrograde_Dates\"><\/span><strong>Mercury Retrograde Dates-<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here go the dates of the <strong>Mercury Retrograde <\/strong>periods from 2016 till 2025-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mercury_Retrograde_In_2016\"><\/span>Mercury Retrograde In 2016-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;January 5- 25, 2016: in Aquarius, ends in Capricorn.<\/li><li>&nbsp;April 28 \u2013 May 22, 2016: in Taurus<\/li><li>&nbsp;August 30 \u2013 September 22, 2016: in Virgo<\/li><li>April 28 \u2013 May 22, 2016: in Taurus<\/li><li>August 30 \u2013 September 22, 2016: in Virgo<\/li><li>December 19, 2016 \u2013 January 8, 2017: in Capricorn, ends in Sagittarius.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mercury_Retrograde_In_2017\"><\/span>Mercury Retrograde In 2017-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;December 19, 2016 \u2013 January 8, 2017: in Capricorn, ends in Sagittarius.<\/li><li>&nbsp;April 9 \u2013 May 3, 2017 : in Taurus, ends in Aries<\/li><li>&nbsp;August 12 \u2013 September 5, 2017 : in Virgo, ends in Leo<\/li><li>&nbsp;December 3 \u2013 22, 2017 : in Sagittarius<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pexels-photo-220429-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Mercury 2018\" class=\"wp-image-77600\" width=\"488\" height=\"338\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mercury_Retrograde_In_2018\"><\/span><br>Mercury Retrograde In 2018-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;March 22 \u2013 April 15, 2018 : in Aries<\/li><li>&nbsp;July 26 \u2013 August 18, 2018 : in Leo, ends in Scorpio<\/li><li>&nbsp;November 16 \u2013 December 6, 2018 : in Sagittarius, ends in Scorpio<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2019\"><\/span>In 2019-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;March 5- 28, 2019 : in Pieces<\/li><li>&nbsp;July 7- 30, 2019 : in Leo, ends in Cancer<\/li><li>&nbsp;October 31 \u2013 November 20, 2019 : in Scorpio<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2020\"><\/span>In 2020-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;February 18 \u2013 March 9, 2020 : in Pieces, ends in Aquarius<\/li><li>&nbsp;June 17 \u2013 July 12, 2020 : in Cancer<\/li><li>&nbsp;October 13 \u2013 November 3, 2020 : in Scorpio, ends in Libra<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2021\"><\/span>In 2021-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><\/li><li>&nbsp;January 30 \u2013 February 20, 2021 : in Aquarius<\/li><li>&nbsp;May 29 \u2013 June 22, 2021 : in Gemini<\/li><li>&nbsp;September 27 \u2013 October 18, 2021 : in Libra<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2022\"><\/span>In 2022-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;January 14 \u2013 February 3, 2022 : in Aquarius, ends in Capricorn<\/li><li>&nbsp;May 10 \u2013 June 2, 2022 : in Gemini, ends in Taurus<\/li><li>&nbsp;September 9 \u2013 October 2, 2022 : in Libra, ends in Virgo<\/li><li>&nbsp;December 29, 2022 \u2013 January 18, 2023 : in Capricorn<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2023\"><\/span>In 2023-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;April 21 \u2013 May 14, 2023 : in Taurus<\/li><li>&nbsp;August 23 \u2013 September 15, 2023 : in Virgo<\/li><li>&nbsp;December 13, 2023 \u2013 January 1, 2024 : in Sagittarius<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pexels-photo-1127000-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Sagittarius\" class=\"wp-image-77602\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_2024\"><\/span>In 2024-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;

They become very tired, grumpy and easily agitated. They become very aggressive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing goes right during this phase and people lose hope and get demotivated. Breakups in relationships take place. It is said and believed that you should never start a new something during this phase as it always turns out to be a bad fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are joining a new job, don\u2019t do in during this phase. If you\u2019re starting a new project, better avoid stating it during this phase. Though something which has started before this phase can be continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people blame this phase for their unsuccessful work. Did you start any work during this phase? Well if it turns out bad, better blame on the Mercury Retrograde than on yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>You might also like to read about <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/mercury-retrograde-2019\/\"><strong>Mercury Retrograde 2019<\/strong><\/a><strong> to know about its effects on an individual.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/\">Consult the best Astrologer of India now and find out the solutions of your problems today.
