The holiday season means celebration, but also stress for some. As if that wasn’t enough, Mercury goes into retrograde.

Watch for the movement of the planets from December 13 to January 1, as Mercury will decelerate, giving the impression of going backwards. This period brings with it its share of concerns in the world of communications, a sphere that Mercury represents in astrology. This is Mercury’s third retrograde in 2023, and each time it means trouble with technology, travel and information. Associated with the holiday season, it will also be synonymous with communication problems in your family gatherings, and here’s how.
In addition, a full moon is coming on December 26, the day after Christmas. There will be excitement!
The astrological signs most affected by retrograde
The natives of the signs Capricorn et Sagittarius will be the most impacted by this new retrograde of the planet Mercury. Avoid misunderstandings as much as possible by taking care to review your sometimes cold way of communicating.
The signs of Feu (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) may also feel in deeper reflection and desire to build stronger bonds with those around them during the holidays this year.
The astrological signs least affected by Mercury retrograde
THE Virgin of this world having been particularly affected during the previous retrograde, from August 23 to September 15, will rather be spared by this new movement of Mercury.
However, you will have to remain alert, the retrograde affects everyone for small and big problems.
How to get through retrograde
1. Take the time to communicate well.
Misunderstandings are very present during the retrograde. Avoid getting confused with your loved ones by choosing your words carefully and being clear in the way you express your thoughts.
2. Be patient with yourself and others.
Once again, we are trying to avoid conflicts that may not occur if both parties take the time to communicate and express themselves gently and kindly.
3. Revise twice before closing the books.
Sending an important message to your crush? Submitting a registration for an important course? Message to your boss? Proofread and see if you missed an attachment or word to leave no doubt in the air.
4. Avoid heavy maneuvering on your electronic devices.
Don’t decide now to clean up your computer or redo the entire configuration of your phone. Mercury retrograde is the worst time for these things and you are more likely to lose your precious photos and important documents.
5. Practice self-care.
Between the various family evenings and outings with friends, take time to do yourself some good. A good book, a series, a candle that smells like a Christmas tree, a long walk with music on your ears, take some time for yourself.
6. Surround yourself with good energies.
In your family parties as in your everyday moments, surround yourself with what makes you feel good and, above all, with those who make you feel good. The aunt who makes an inappropriate comment? Don’t force yourself to stay with her if you’re not well.
In 2024, Mercury retrogrades will occur from April 1 to 25, August 5 to 28, and November 26 to December 15.
Hang in there!
