Dates and effects of Mercury Retrograde in 2023 on the zodiac signs
Mercury retrograde is the astrological event most feared by astrology buffs because they are believed to cause chaos and confusion. The only way to avoid their effects is to be aware of when they will occur in 2023 so that you can resist their frightening energies.
When a planet appears to go backward or stop in its orbit, it is known in astrology as a retrograde planet.
However, this is only an optical illusion caused by our location on Earth. Since the planets always gravitate in the same direction, this is impossible from an astronomical perspective, but it does have energetic repercussions.
What does Mercury retrograde mean?
Mercury is the planet that controls how you express yourself, how you communicate and how you use technology. When Mercury is retrograde, these aspects of your life are affected and you notice it in delays of all kinds, garbled language and incoherent actions.
However, the effects of its retrograde, which will occur in all cardinal signs in 2023 – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn – depend largely on the sign in which it occurs.
