Mercury Retrograde: How it Affects Your Relationships (And How to Survive)

You send a text to your partner, and they misinterpret it as an attack. You and your spouse are fighting about things that happened three years ago. And then, suddenly, an ex-lover from 2019 slides into your DMs.

Welcome to Mercury Retrograde.

In Western Astrology, Mercury is the planet of Communication, Technology, and Travel. Three or four times a year, it appears to move backward in the sky. When this happens, everything Mercury rules goes haywire.

But as a Spiritual Healer, I see Mercury Retrograde differently. It is not just an annoyance; it is a Spiritual Filter. It shakes the foundation of your relationships to see what is solid and what is cracked.

Here is how this chaotic energy affects your love life and the African rituals you need to keep your relationship safe.

In the Image above: Couple looking at their phones, confused and frustrated, wondering why simple messages are turning into arguments and cold silence. Mercury Retrograde is scrambling texts, twisting meanings, and making harmless words sound like insults, causing relationship communication problems, emotional outbursts, and unnecessary fights between lovers and spouses.

1. The "Tower of Babel" Effect (Misunderstandings)

During Retrograde, the spiritual wires get crossed. You say "A," but your partner hears "B."

  • The Danger: Small arguments blow up into breakups because neither side is listening. The energy is frantic and mental.

  • The African Remedy: Sweetening the Tongue.

    • Before a difficult conversation during this period, chew a small piece of Liquorice Root or drink tea with honey.

    • Spiritual Logic: Honey calms the "heat" in your words. It ensures that your message lands softly, not like a spear.

2. The Return of the "Ex" (The Zombie Phenomenon)

This is the most famous symptom of Mercury Retrograde. Ex-boyfriends and girlfriends suddenly reappear.

  • Why it happens: Retrograde energy pulls the past into the present. It opens a door to unresolved business.

  • The Spiritual Truth: They are usually not back because they changed; they are back because the universe is testing you. It is asking: "Did you learn the lesson, or will you repeat the cycle?"

  • The Advice: Do not make permanent decisions (like getting back together) until after the Retrograde ends. If they are still there when the shadow passes, then we can talk.

3. Technology Tantrums

Your relationship relies on phones. During Retrograde, texts get lost, calls drop, and you accidentally send a message to the wrong person.

  • The Fix: The Digital Cleanse.

    • Wipe your phone screen with Rose Water (carefully!).

    • Intention: "I clear the static from this device. Let only truth pass through this screen."

    • It sounds simple, but physically cleansing the object you communicate with resets its energy vibration.

4. The "Retrograde Review"

It is not all bad news. The "Re-" in Retrograde stands for Re-view, Re-assess, Re-connect.

  • The Opportunity: This is the best time to fix old problems. If you and your partner have been avoiding a topic, bring it up now. The energy supports "going back" to fix the foundation.


The "24-Hour Rule" Ritual

To survive this period without a breakup, implement this spiritual rule in your home:

  1. The Rule: If an argument starts, you must wait 24 hours before resolving it.

  2. The Ritual: During that pause, write your feelings on paper. Burn the paper safely.

  3. The Result: Burning the initial anger releases the "Trickster Spirit" that is trying to cause chaos. When you speak 24 hours later, you will speak from your heart, not your hurt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is it bad to break up during Mercury Retrograde? A: Yes. Breakups during this time are often regretted later. The emotions are temporary and fueled by confusion. Unless there is abuse (in which case, leave immediately), try to "pause" the relationship rather than end it.

Q: Can I get married during Retrograde? A: It is risky. If you can't move the date, you MUST do a Protection Ceremony for the wedding vows to ensure the promise sticks and isn't "reversed" later by the energy.

Q: My ex contacted me. Should I reply? A: Reply with caution. Keep it brief. Do not meet up until the planets go direct. Protect your energy first.
