Mercury is regarded as the planet responsible for all communications, cognitive processes, and it also stands for reasoning, rationality, and other things. Mercury entered a retrograde phase on September 27, 2021, moving backwards into the astrological sign of Libra. Since then, it has had an impact on people’s life, causing a great deal of instability in their relationships, businesses, finances, health, and other areas.
People can finally exhale in relief that the planetary retrogression is over and anticipate things to calm down. Following that, let’s take a look at what each zodiac sign might anticipate now that Mercury Retrograde for this year has ended.

Mercury’s retrograde motion affects Libra?
Nothing in astrology is more notorious than the dreadful Mercury retrograde. Because it rules both cognitive and communication processes, Mercury has a significant impact on how you live your daily life. This quick-moving, very intelligent inner planet tends to confuse people and lead to errors in judgment when it goes retrograde, which can derail all of your goals. Fortunately, you don’t have to prepare for total disaster if you belong to one of the zodiac signs that will be least affected by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
On May 10, as Mercury is transiting through Gemini at a 4 degree angle, the next Mercury retrograde will start. As a result of this mutable air sign’s propensity to think more quickly than it speaks, miscommunication is a major theme of this erratic and capricious retrograde. Mercury won’t stay in Gemini for very long, though, as on May 22 it will turn back into Taurus and travel through that sign’s obstinate and slow-moving zone once more. Mercury is returning to this fixed earth sign, so you may find yourself second-guessing every choice and finding it difficult to look past your attachments to particular beliefs and viewpoints. Be careful you know what you’re talking about and try to have an open mind.
Despite the fact that Mercury retrograde can throw your life for a loop, you must keep in mind that it only lasts for around three weeks. This retrograde, which will terminate on June 3 at 26 degrees Taurus, could transport you back in time and bring up unfinished business that has to be attended to. Let this retrograde give you another chance to attempt because there might still be things you need to say or decisions you need to make.
In either case, cardinal signs might not experience the full effects of this retrograde. This is why:
What zodiac signs will be impacted by the 2021 Mercury retrograde?
The other cardinal signs in the other elements will feel this particular backward turn the most because it is occurring in cardinal Libra. Aries (cardinal fire), Cancer (cardinal water), and Capricorn are included in this (cardinal earth). Aries, it will manifest in your fourth house of domestic life, Cancer, your seventh house of partnerships, and Cap, your tenth house of careers.
Which signs will be impacted by the October 2021 Mercury retrograde?
In 2021, Mercury will be retrograde three times. All three, Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra, will fall under the air element.
- In Aquarius, the first retrograde of 2021 lasted from January 30 to February 20.
- Mercury appeared to sail backwards for the second time in 2021 from May 29 to June 22 in Gemini.
- The third and last retrograde of 2021 takes place in Libra from September 27 to October 18.
The three retrogrades of 2021 convey a story when combined. The planet Venus, which rules love and money, activated the retrogrades in January/February and May/June (meaning Venus was in the same degree as Mercury when the retrograde began). Venus rules the sign of Libra, which Venus retrogrades in September and October. Mars, another action planet in Libra, will energize the retrograde.
As a result, this most recent retrograde period could raise issues related to money and love. You might be questioning yourself: Do I want to rekindle old relationships or strengthen my bond with the person I’m with? Am I content with my job and earnings?
These choices could be tinged with concern because all three of the astrological signs for the year are air signs. Always keep in mind that unwinding will help you get through this period.
Which of the following affects Libra?
The best course of action right now is to be quick (and practice your left hook punch, Libra! ), as Mercury retrograde is back and ready to hit you where it hurts. You’ll notice a lot of uncertainty at the beginning of this phase over how you intended to go big or go home, particularly in regards to academics, a media or publishing initiative, legalities, or travel. You were confident that you had everything under control, but nay. Later in the time frame, turmoil will affect your possessions, investments, or a settlement, and you and a partner won’t agree on anything. If you believe your current negotiations are not going well, start over.
