We hate to break it to you but Mercury retrograde is back. Sorry! Fortunately, astrologer Lisa Stardust, bestselling author of the Saturn Return Survival Guide and The Astrology Deck revealed what we can expect during this winter’s Mercury retrograde and what can be done to survive it. 

In case you didn’t know, Mercury goes retrograde about three to four times a year. It’s a time where Mercury slows down, so Earth appears to be moving much faster. Since Mercury is associated with communication, travel and information, you may experience delays, misunderstandings and issues with phones, computers and pretty much anything tech-related.

We all dread this time of year, but it’s really not meant to be some kind of punishment from the universe. “Contrary to popular folklore, Mercury retrograde is not necessarily a bad time,” Lisa told E! News. “It’s an opportunity to update your views, beliefs, and resumes. To Rethink. Revise. Reflect. These are things we should all be doing.”
