While all signs will face the wrath of this astrological phenomenon, some signs will face it more intensely. According to Master Vani Kabir, this mercury retrograde brings in the energy of miscommunication and delays in travel. So, if you are travelling, double-check everything. This period is also going to be heavier and disruptive for 3 zodiac signs, more than others. She further says that making an investment during this time is going to be favourable but if you are going to start a business or partnership then you must think twice. For the three zodiac signs that will be the most impacted, there are two important things:

• Stay away from quarrel energy or you are going to lose it.
• Also, your ego is going to be on an all time high. If you are going to fine that ego, it will bring the worst in you.

Which are these three zodiac signs? Aries, Libra and Sagittarius. What Is Mercury Retrograde? Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion that occurs when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in the night sky. However, in reality, the Earth briefly overtakes Mercury in its orbit. This creates the visual effect that the planet is moving in reverse. Speaking of this astrologically, retrogrades - which occur in other planets, too - are thought to impede the realms that the planet governs. Since Mercury rules communication, information and travel, the retrograde period is believed to hamper these areas. During Mercury retrograde, we may feel pressured, act impulsively or blurt things out. However, it is important to take a moment to reflect before acting and be mindful. Nicholas Campion, professor of cosmology and culture at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, while speaking to BBC said, "Modern astrologers who believe in the influence of Mercury retrograde think it means plans are going to be put on hold or that it is a bad time to start a new job or begin something new. It is very much a feature of a particular strand of western astrology."
