Friday the 13th and Mercury Retrograde – Should We Expect Chaos?
The planet Mercury is the closest to Earth in the Zodiac, after the Moon. This is why it often travels in a retrograde manner, at least three to four times a year.
Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and symbolizes youth, children, communication, travel, writing. When the planet is in retrograde, all its positive symbolism turns negative and upside down.
We fear this phenomenon because we know how badly it can influence events in our daily lives. However, it is important to know that this transition does not necessarily have to affect all of us negatively or even the same.
Yet, we should definitely brace ourselves for problems in communication – this is almost a given, having in mind that today is the dreaded Friday the 13th.
Astrologists warn that this potentially chaotic combo may cause some of us to feel out of sorts a bit, and the advice is to take things slow and think any and all decisions through.
Still, there is one star sign that doesn’t really have to worry over this menacing alignment – Aries!
As far as the month of May goes, the following days might be troublesome:
May 16th – the first Moon eclipse in 2022, in Scorpio will affect all types of relationships.
May 18th - Mars will make us greedy and unwilling to compromise.
Mat 21st – Trouble awaits all those irresponsible and immature.
May 23rd - The peak of retrograde Mercury will bring negative influences that will extend all the way through to June 12, making the planet lose almost all of its positive energy. Do not take any risks during this period. This also goes for new business projects or any deals or contracts.
May 29th – Mars and Jupiter meet in Aries: extremely dangerous situation for any communications and work field. We will be too assertive and pushy, almost willing to make use of others. Conflicts are certain, so be careful with your words and actions.
