> > > Mercury
The first planet from the Sun rules intellectual abilities and communication skills. Therefore, it is directly related to business and commercial activities. When Mercury goes retrograde, people face communication problems. Certain difficulties arise in speaking and writing letters. But at the same time, people develop extraordinary thinking that can overturn traditional foundations. This can be considered a positive consequence.
When Mercury begins to move backward, a person begins to pay great attention to acquiring knowledge, this becomes his main goal. Excessive interest in new information contributes to intellectual fatigue and pride in achievements made in front of other people. However, there is also a positive side to retrograde, which consists in increasing the speed of decision-making and the manifestation of intuition. This allows you to achieve advantages in everyday life.

The influence of Mercury retrograde on personality in 2016
From 5 to 13 January Mercury retrograde begins to move through the sign of Capricorn. In astrological science, it is believed that this sign has the earthly element and gives a person determination. It also promotes a reasonable attitude towards time. However, Mercury retrograde introduces a certain instability, preventing you from fully using the opportunities that open up. You need to be wary of financial matters, as they can turn into failure.
From January 14 to 25, the planet will pass through the sign of Sagittarius. Mostly beneficial effects will be observed. The personality will stop being distracted by everyday problems, and will begin to be interested in more lofty goals. There may be a desire to receive new information or travel. However, it is also recommended to exercise caution here, since wasted energy may go into useless actions. Communication difficulties are also likely to occur.
From April 28 to May 21, Mercury will enter the sign of Aries. A person's speed of thinking and decision-making may increase. To top it off, an unhealthy attraction to gambling will appear, which poses a danger to your personal budget. It is recommended to carefully consider your actions in order to avoid irreparable mistakes. Also, do not rush to realize your desires. To do this, you should constantly analyze your behavior and make adjustments to it.
During retrograde periods, long-pending matters are often launched, which for various reasons were postponed and not resolved. At this time, there is a return to solving old problems and issues. The event itself may not occur directly on the loop, but it is formed on the loop and takes place after the retrograde phase. Under such conditions, this is the “safest” scenario for resolving issues and developing the situation.
Making its way through one sector of the Zodiac three times, the planet poses a problem - during the first passage (1), calls for ways to solve it - during a retrograde passage (2) and gives a way out of the situation and a solution in a new way - during the third, direct passage through that the same area (3).
When the inner planets are Mercury and Venus–
become retrograde, they begin to connect with the Sun. The conjunction of retrogrades or with the Sun is an “inferior conjunction” - NS. Ethen the symbolic new moon, the beginning of their cycles with the Sun - the time of awareness of ongoing events on the topic of the planet, one’s behavior, one’s mental and communicativeapproaches (), or their emotional reactions, values and attachments (). If during this period there are repetitions of previous troubles, it is necessary to think about their cause, and at the point of “lower connection” the answer will come, a new way of solving problems on the topic of the planet will open, which we can use in the future. At the stage from the “lower connection” to the return to directivity (SD), all efforts must be directed to resolving old matters, repaying debts, and putting an end to lingering problems. The next stage of the retro loop is from the beginning of directivity to exiting the loop, during which time there is a set of potential, preparation for new steps, thinking about new ideas for or awareness of emotionalpreferences, values and ways to achieve internal harmony, ethical principles according to. At this stage, unresolved problems need to be completed, relationships that need to be ended,since unresolved problems and deficiencies will move into the next cycle. The conjunction of the Sun with direct Mercury or Venus is the “upper conjunction” - BC - the symbolic full moon of the cycle.
When the outer planets - Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto become retrograde, they begin to go into opposition with the Sun. The planet's opposition to the Sun is the symbolic full moon phase of their cycle and an important transit period to pay attention to. The sun - “consciousness, individuality” and the principle of the planet, at this time are separated by poles in our consciousness. This is the culmination of the cycle of the planet and the Sun, and the culmination of themes and situations of this cycle, a period of awareness of non-constructive approaches, revision and identification of new approaches. This period provides an opportunity to realize which of our habitual reactions and ways of implementing the planet principle must be revised in order to remain adequate and effective.
During retro periods, repetition of the action may be successful. For example, a couple had a fictitious divorce and their own remarriage they concluded on retro-Mercury. Since then, they have been living in a strong marriage for 19 years.

At this time, undertakings in the field of jurisprudence, consulting, education, foreign languages, PR, advertising, and event organization are unfavorable. You should not abuse alcohol or eat food of dubious quality at this time - the liver and stomach may not be able to cope with the load. Recreation in nature and full-fledged sanatorium treatment are more useful than ever.
Jupiter turning direct brings public recognition. Confidence in your own abilities appears, self-esteem jumps sharply. The need to expand contacts is increasing, and it is easier to make acquaintances - both personal and professional.

From a health point of view, it is worth paying attention to the joints and skeletal system. Try not to overwork, avoid drafts. Special attention to allergy sufferers. If an exacerbation occurs, treatment may be delayed. Saturn is symbolically associated with teeth, spine and bone structures in our body, therefore the retrograde phase of its movement is not recommended for prosthetics and dental treatment.

After Saturn's reversal, focus on work - getting into a constructive direction is not easy, but once you do this, you will achieve a lot.

August 12 – Uranus retrograde at 06°36′ Taurus
January 11 — Uranus direct at 02°39′ Taurus

Uranus is associated with high technology and scientific work. During its retrograde movement, unexpected turns in life are likely.
This period is ideal for harnessing creativity, ingenuity and originality. Recommended qualities for success: originality and lack of stereotypes in any business.

June 21 – Neptune retrograde at 18°43′ Pisces
November 27 – Neptune direct at 15°55′ Pisces
March 17, 2020 - Neptune exits the R-loop
Neptune is the planet of intuition, illusions, fantasies and dreams. These are our dreams, the dream world, music.
During this period, the border between reality and illusions becomes barely distinguishable, and any intention can be realized. You can dream and fantasize, not forgetting that in order to realize your fantasies, you still need a material and physical basis as an impulse for implementation. You can write down your dreams and plans in your personal diary. For better implementation, it is recommended to describe dreams as already existing.
However, Neptune, known in astrology as the planet of fantasy and daydreaming, during its retrograde movement shows us that not everything is so rosy. This is a good time to combine your fantasies and a realistic outlook on life, re-evaluate your ideals and take a closer look at your surroundings.
During Neptune retrograde, we are easily deceived. The danger of being drawn into a sect or criminal group increases. At this time, you should not believe promises. Don't despair in your feelings - when Neptune moves forward again, you will realize that not everything is as bad as you thought.
Alcohol is dangerous, and the effects of other liquids are strong. Do not overdose on medications, reduce the dose if possible.

April 24 – Pluto retrograde at 23°09′ Capricorn
October 3 – Pluto direct at 20°38′ Capricorn
January 24, 2020 - Pluto exits the R-loop
Pluto is associated with collective consciousness and power structures.
During Pluto's retrograde, you may feel underappreciated and everyone is against you. You should calmly do what you love. If you are wasting your time on something you don't like, stop it. Pluto at this moment pushes us to make drastic changes and does not allow us to stay in place for a long time.
During this period, it is not recommended to take financial risks, take out loans, open a large business and start matters related to inheritance, taxes and insurance. A bad strategy would also be to wage a tough external struggle and strive for power. Instead of demands and complaints to the environment, it is better to turn your gaze “inward” with maximum honesty.
At the psychological level, periods of planetary retrograde return us to unresolved problems, forcing us, forcibly or voluntarily, to cleanse ourselves, to get rid of outdated forms of behavior and complexes, often through suffering and despair; let go of the past and old grievances that slow down our movement forward. Pluto destroys the unnecessary and requires revision at the highest level in order to build something truly valuable on the ruins. Therefore, if a person himself opens up to changes and does not cling to the past, engages in introspection and develops psychologically, this period will be much less painful for him, promoting deep healing and transformation.
For many, the retrograde of Pluto in the sign of Capricorn actualizes the topic of finding one’s true calling, the path of self-realization. By listening to your inner voice, showing sufficient persistence and hard work, everyone gets a chance to find their highest purpose.
Ailments are treated at this time using gentle methods, preferably non-drug ones.
Individual horoscope indicators can make adjustments to this forecast. Therefore, in cases where there is a need to choose the time for a particular action, taking into account all transit influences, as well as indicators of the natal chart, it would be useful to seek individual advice.
