Mercury retrograde is not the actual direction of Mercury's movement in the opposite direction, but the visual trajectory change caused by the difference in the ecliptic angle between Mercury's orbit and the Earth's rotation. Mercury retrograde is often referred to simply as "Mercury retrograde" in astrology. So, let’s go to Mercury retrograde and see what not to do during Mercury retrograde?

What not to do while Mercury is retrograde?

Don’t do important things when Mercury is retrograde. Nothing you do during this period is suitable for the future - you feel as if it is impossible to make any plans. During the retrograde period, it is also difficult for others to give you answers. Even if a decision is made, it will change, maybe after Mercury goes direct, maybe later.

During Mercury retrograde, anything related to communication is inappropriate. For example, starting a magazine, website, or organizing activities for advertising or promotion will not be done well.

When starting any new plans, even plans that have nothing to do with communication, you must avoid the Mercury retrograde period.

Similarly, do not sign any contracts during the retrograde period, and do not negotiate new agreements. It is best not to buy, sell or rent a house. The same applies to oral agreements as well as written agreements. No matter what you hear or what you are thinking, remember that the situation is fluid and can change often.

This does not mean that everyone you meet is two-faced. It's just that no one can predict the future with complete accuracy during Mercury retrograde. If you find a new job while Mercury is retrograde, you may find that it's not quite what you had in mind when you first accepted the job offer. If you're a manager, you'll have a hard time finding the right employees, so if circumstances warrant it, be patient and don't fire your people. If you're ready to buy a home, problems may arise that you didn't expect at all.

Do not undergo plastic surgery or other types of surgeries during Mercury, Venus, or Fire retrogrades

Of course, if you encounter an emergency, you will naturally need surgery. But sometimes, we can choose and plan the time for surgery or treatment. In these cases, such as plastic surgery, it is best to avoid Mercury retrograde periods. During Mercury retrograde, it is easier than usual to make mistakes or lose judgment. Surgeons are no exception, so I suggest that surgery should wait.

I also strongly recommend that plastic surgery should be avoided during the Venus retrograde period, because Venus governs beauty, and the purpose of plastic surgery is to enhance your appearance.

Mars rules surgery, so you want Mars to be in top condition during surgery. There is also a saying that when Mars passes through a certain constellation, the body part corresponding to that constellation is not suitable for surgery. For example, if Mars is in Capricorn, it is not the best time to have knee surgery because Capricorn rules the knees. Some people believe that Mars can make pain and swelling more intense. During the full moon period, surgery will increase blood loss. So, we have to prevent this.

Similarly, I would like to reiterate that if it is an emergency, do not consider the above rules and go for surgery as soon as possible. Once again I had to have an emergency surgery, which happened to coincide with a new moon and solar eclipse, and the area of ??surgery also happened to have bad celestial conditions (Mars was in the sign of the surgery site). By extension, the surgery was probably going to be terrible, but mine was a success.

In an emergency, if you need surgery, do it!
