On May 10th, Mercury retrogrades for its second of four times in 2022, and will remain in retrograde until June 3rd.

When the planet of communication appears to reverse its rotation – as above, so below – things can start to feel a bit out of balance here on Earth.

Miscommunications abound during these periods – avoid jumping to conclusions or making rash decisions. Be prepared for uncooperative technology and heightened emotions – in the digital age, this can be such a frustrating combination.

The best way to glide through these seemingly chaotic times, is to prioritize forgiveness and communication for yourself and for the people you interact with.
