This time duration of Mercury Retrograde motion is 20 Days. Three to four times a year, the planet Mercury appears to travel backward across the sky. The backward motion of Planets is called retrogression in Astrology. In Astrology these times were traditionally associated with confusion, delay, and frustration. Think undelivered love letters, email blunders, and frazzled travel plans.
In Ayurveda, Mercury is our majja dhatu or our nervous system. Mercury’s retrogression can make us even more sensitized, so that people or situations can “get on our nerves” more than usual.
