But first, a warning: Mercury will enter retrograde a total of four times in 2022, and the first occurrence is right around the corner. Mercury retrograde is a periodic optical illusion in which our vantage point from Earth makes it appear that the planet is moving backwards. Although Mercury is moving as normal, this phase can have some kooky astrological effects on us Earthlings. Mercury will be in retrograde from January 14 through February 3. This means you can expect your year to start with some unexpected challenges, particularly relating to things like communication, travel, and technology. Complications are most likely around the “shadow” period when Mercury enters and leaves retrograde, so be cautious and communicate clearly in the days around January 14 and February 3. As I always say, the best way to avoid Mercury retrograde chaos is by staying home with a good book!
