The day after Venus goes direct, on Saturday, March 15, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, begins one of its retrogrades, lasting through Monday, April 7. The other dates of Mercury retrograde are Friday, July 18 to Monday, August 11, and Sunday, November 9 to Friday, November 29. You don’t need to stress about Mercury retrograde; just know that it can cause travel delays and miscommunication, so be extra patient with yourself and anyone you’re dating. Exes tend to slide into DMs, while Mercury is retrograde, too.
