Any chances you are facing mysterious tech disasters and communication delays? Might be because of the Mercury retrograde that began today! Continue to read to know more…

Believer in the power of astrology? The planets and their workings? Starting 23rd August, the planet of communication in astrology goes retrograde in the sign of Virgo, until it goes direct on September 15. For Astro newbies, the term retrograde originates from the Latin word retrogradus, which literally means “backward step.” So in essence, a retrograde is when a planet appears to go backwards in its orbit when viewed from earth. The planet Mercury, named after the Greek messenger god governs matters related to transportation and communication.
Astrologers say when this planet travels backward (in the case of a retrograde) its power to positively influence and providing the energy towards the factors listed above is hindered leading to chaos! So expect some tech and communication hiccups! Sources say the planet’s retrograde cycle is a routine and it takes place 3-4 times a year.
Many astrologers attribute the occurrence of arguments, communication delays, lost mail belongings, tech failures to the astrological phenomenon. Though point o be noted, it is said this particular retrograde will fare much smoother than most. The astrological signs that will be most impacted under the retrogrades focus are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. (Goodluck to y’all)
