Katy HollowayThe experience of depression is something that can affect every single one of the zodiac signs. And when Mercury retrogrades, the symptoms of depression can feel heightened. Especially if you’ve been stressed, or have unexpected expenses (especially medical expenses if your sign is especially clumsy). Everything feels so chaotic and confusing during these periods, and when you’re depressed, the last thing you need is a lack of clarity.
How Mercury Retrograde Can Help Depression
Astrology teaches us that Mercury retrograde is a time of release and reflection. It asks us to slow down and take a look at the things that no longer serve us. Letting go of damaging mental patterns and negative thoughts or relationships can help improve depression.
If you’re feeling depressed, your daily horoscope can help you stay focused on every moment that each new day brings. Pay attention to your feelings instead of burying them. Mercury retrograde is known to force us to face what we’re trying to run away from.
In the meantime, it’s good to know when Mercury is retrograde so that delays and miscommunication don’t feel like they’re coming out of nowhere.
These are all the times Mercury will retrograde in 2020:
- February 17 – March 9
- June 18 – July 12
- October 14 – November 3
