Mercury retrograde may bring you back into contact with old friends, groups, or acquaintances. These interactions could be more reflective than usual, potentially reigniting past tensions or misunderstandings. Any group-related activities could face delays, miscommunications, or conflicts. Whether it’s at work, a club, or a social group, things might not go as smoothly as planned. This could be a time to rethink who you want to surround yourself with, considering if your current friendships and group affiliations still support your long-term goals or if they need to be adjusted. There might be a temptation to rush towards future goals, only to realize later that more thought and reflection were needed. If you’re self-employed or running a social media account, you may feel unclear about the ideas you want to share, how to communicate them, or experience a sense of disconnection from your community or online audience.
