Mercury retro? The mind won’t shut up

When Mercury goes retrograde, the mind races. Thoughts swirl and loop endlessly. Words get tangled before speaking. Communication stumbles, and clarity fades fast. It’s more than lost emails. The real chaos lives inside. The mind turns inward but doesn’t rest. It churns, worries, replays old moments. These moments should be behind you.

Mercury rules thought and speech. It controls how ideas flow. When retrograde, everything slows down. Mental fog covers the mind. Overthinking creeps in like shadows. Anxiety grows in quiet spaces. Sleep becomes shallow and restless. Small decisions feel like mountains. The harder you try, the worse. Puzzle pieces scatter, no fitting. Pressure builds to understand everything. The mind becomes restless, tired.

Retrograde pulls you to past. Old conversations return again. Unfinished business knocks loudly. Memories come with sharp edges. Walking a familiar path, blind. You want forward, but pulled back. Stress comes from old wounds. It’s more than current moments. It’s what remains unprocessed.

People born with Mercury retrograde feel this. Their thoughts don’t move straight. They rewind, pause, then replay. It can be a gift. But also, a heavy burden. Expression feels hard or unclear. They often feel misunderstood. Noise fills their quiet moments. Yet this slow rhythm hides wisdom. If only it’s allowed in.

Mercury retrograde isn’t just chaos. It calls us to slow down. It asks for deep listening. Be patient with tangled thoughts. Wait for questions without answers. The mind won’t stop racing. But if stillness comes, listen. Hear what it tries to say. Restless noise can bring clarity. Not logic’s sharp certainty. But a quiet, deep understanding. Grown from reflection and time.

The mind won’t shut up. Maybe it doesn’t need to. Maybe truths wait in noise. Sit with it long enough. Calm lives beneath the storm.
