In episode 276, astrologer Jessica Lanyadu joins the show to talk about Mercury retrograde and what it means in astrology.
Mercury retrograde periods occur when the planet Mercury begins to move backwards through the signs for about three weeks every few months.
Astrologers usually associate Mercury retrograde periods with miscommunication, delays, technological failures, and other Mercury-related problems.
During the show we will talk about the importance of Mercury, the astronomy of Mercury retrograde periods, shadow periods and share some stories about how we have seen these periods manifest in the past.
Astrologers have been talking a lot about Mercury retrograde lately, as it happens three weeks before the US election day on November 3rd, and it seemed timely to talk about this event and how it relates to the election.
Jessica recently launched Zodiac the Vote, a program that encourages people to get out and vote and provides tips to make it easy to avoid Mercury retro snafus:
