Mercury Goes Retrograde Over The New Year, And Here’s How You’ll Be Affected

By Mercury retrograde, 2022 ends on a strange note that will accompany us until the beginning of 2023.

About three times a year, the planet of communication, Mercury, reverses. This period, which is called “the retrograde”, is recognized as particularly trying. Misunderstandings, electronic breakdowns, oversights, delays: anything is possible.

From December 29, 2022 to January 14, 2023, Mercury will be retrograde in the pragmatic sign of Capricorn. But what does that mean, exactly?

What are the effects of Mercury in retrograde?

When Mercury changes direction, it often feels like nothing is working the way we would like. Since this planet influences communication, it is this sphere of our life that is most disrupted. Whether in terms of technology or our interpersonal relationships, everything is precarious.

It’s also a time when our plans often fall through. After a Christmas where many had to change their plans because of the weather, a similar situation could take place for your New Year’s activities.

What are the effects of a retrograde in Capricorn?

The astrological sign of Capricorn is associated with discipline, organization and ambition. Since retrograde means the effects will be reversed, we can expect to see the majority of the troubles taking place in the professional and financial areas of our lives.

It’s not necessarily the time to change careers, but rather to reassess what you really want. Take a moment to see what still works for you, and what you need to let go. Make a game plan, a budget, write down your goals, your dreams, then start 2023 on the right foot knowing exactly where you want to go.

Which signs will be most affected by the retrograde at the end of 2022?

Four astrological signs will feel the full force of retrograde effects: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

For Aries, it’s a professional project that will be delayed by an unforeseen event. But do not lose hope: after planning everything, you will find the right path. Among Cancerians, it is romantic relationships that will be put to the test. If your relationship is falling apart or if a conflict has gone on for too long, an important conversation will be in order.

Libras will want to put their environment in order, whether it’s the house, the apartment or just the bedroom. Try not to offend the people you live with with your words though! Eventually, Capricorns are going to have to reevaluate their goals and ambitions in life. Instead of telling everyone about it, keep your plans to yourself until the retrograde is over to make sure you communicate what you desire.

Good luck to everyone!
