Mercury retrograde is a phenomenon that occurs three times a year when Mercury appears to be moving backward in the sky rather than forward. For example, in 2022, Mercury will retrograde four times: January 13th to February 3rd, May 10th to June 2nd, September 9th to October 1st, and December 28th to January 18th, 2023.
So, why do people care so much about what some random planet is doing? Those who follow astrology often blame Mercury Retrograde when things go haywire.
In fact, Mercury Retrograde is notorious for causing delays in communication and travel, as well as misunderstandings, work snafus, and changes in your personal relationships – including your sex life.
Of course, every Mercury Retrograde is different and won’t affect every zodiac sign similarly. So, here are the most affected zodiacs and what is most likely to happen in the upcoming Mercury Retrograde (September 9th – October 1st) :
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is an excellent time to focus on your health, wellness, and personal relationships. You may feel restless, especially if you’re an introvert or have been dealing with stress lately. The best way to deal with this situation is by taking care of yourself, so make sure you get plenty of sleep and eat well throughout the day.
As of Sept 26th, you might feel the need to review self-worth and relationship dynamics when Mercury meets your planet, Venus. So take time to think about romance, identity, and values, and ensure that your heart and thoughts align.
Virgos tend to be practical and systematic and often need to be on top of things. That makes this a great time to take charge of your sex life and direct it as you wish, so let loose and explore your fantasies!
Mercury Retrograde in Leo
Mercury Retrograde in Leo is an excellent time to reflect on your past relationships and perhaps even rekindle an old flame. This can be especially true if you’ve been single for some time and feeling restless or unfulfilled by your love life.
Mercury retrograde in Leo also tends to bring back memories of lovers past, which would make this one of the most intense times of all.
You might think about past relationships more than usual during this period, but it’s important not to dwell too much on what could have been. Instead, focus on what you’ve learned from those experiences and how they can help shape your future.
The first two weeks of the summer mercury retrograde will affect your communication, and you might misinterpret some words or say things you don’t mean. Take this chance to communicate with relationships you have neglected or smoothen out any scuffles you might have had over the summer. Reflect on your choices and take stock of your life as you transition into a new season.
As a Leo, you might take advantage of your outgoing personality and confidence to bring excitement into your sex life. However, be careful not to neglect yourself and your interests.
Mercury Retrograde and Gemini
Mercury Retrograde affects Gemini’s sex life in a few ways. First, it can make you feel like you’re missing out on the fun people are having around you. Second, it can make you feel like you’re not getting your fair share of sexual attention and that your partner is taking advantage of you for not being able to communicate well enough. Thirdly (and most importantly), Mercury Retrograde makes it harder for Geminis to express themselves honestly.
When this happens during Mercury Retrograde periods, it’s vital for everyone involved (especially if you live together) to be conscious. In addition, everyone should take steps toward better communication methods, so everyone knows what those are before things get too complicated for all parties involved.
Mercury Retrograde and Libra
If you’re a Libra, this Mercury Retrograde could affect your sex life long-term. This is because the planet of communication — Mercury — will be retrograde in your sign for six months. So it’s not just about being able to talk to people; it’s also about having the right words to say when talking with someone.
The September retrograde might confuse you, and you might take many things to heart. Review matters of self-expression and identity to make better decisions. Schedule time with your level-headed friends or therapist and decide if your latest relationship or crush is worth your time. They might be sexy and all, but you need to evaluate your satisfaction with them in your life, including your sexual pleasure.
Mercury Retrograde, Love, Sex, and Dating
You may wonder, “How can I tell if Mercury Retrograde will affect my sex life?” The answer is simple: the stars are all about timing. When Mercury enters a sign and stays there for a few months, it affects all aspects of your life—especially dating and sex.
Mercury retrograde in Leo means you’ll have more energy than usual to work on projects at home or work. This energy boost can make you feel like working hard but also gives you more time for dates with friends or family members (or lovers). It also gives you confidence when making decisions about your relationships—which can lead to new connections!
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is an ideal time to work on yourself. This will make you feel more attractive and give people a chance to get to know you better.
When Mercury enters Leo or Virgo for the first time, there’s often a feeling of uncertainty about whether or not someone else is interested in us sexually.
Remember that it’s normal and healthy to feel unsure sometimes. However, we can best trust our instincts and use the time when Mercury is retrograde to work on ourselves. This makes us more confident in our relationships during a Mercury Retrograde.
Mercury Retrograde in Libra is an ideal time to start a new relationship. This allows you to take things slowly and get to know someone better before committing yourself too much financially or emotionally. However, it’s always important to use caution when having casual sex during Mercury retrograde because people are more likely to become emotionally attached and fall for someone quickly.
Mercury retrograde can be a great time to have sex with someone you’ve just met. It’s a chance for both people involved to learn more about themselves and each other, which is always essential when starting a new relationship.
Mercury retrograde is a season that puts us all to the test, but we can turn it into a fun experience. So explore your options and see how Mercury Retrograde can positively affect your sex life!
