Mercury Retrograde 2019
Published on January 29, 2025
Mercury retrograde—an infamous period for those attuned to the chaos of miscommunication, technological failures, and general disruption. In 2019, Mercury went retrograde three times, each phase carrying its own unique flavor of disorder:
1st Mercury Retrograde: March 5 – March 28 (Pisces ♓️)
A deeply emotional and confusing retrograde, as Pisces is a dreamy, intuitive, and often deceptive sign. This period was riddled with misunderstandings, forgotten details, and heightened sensitivity. Many found themselves lost in nostalgia, facing unresolved emotional wounds, or struggling with deception—whether from others or themselves.
2nd Mercury Retrograde: July 7 – July 31 (Leo ♌️ → Cancer ♋️)
Beginning in bold, expressive Leo before slipping back into the sentimental waters of Cancer, this retrograde was dramatic and emotional. People spoke impulsively, only to regret their words later. Family tensions surfaced, old relationships reappeared, and personal insecurities were amplified. It was a time of ego clashes and deep introspection.
3rd Mercury Retrograde: October 31 – November 20 (Scorpio ♏️)
Ah, a retrograde beginning on Halloween—how fitting. Scorpio’s energy made this period intense, secretive, and transformative. Hidden truths were unearthed, betrayals exposed, and power struggles became unavoidable. It was a time of deep psychological shifts, forcing people to confront their shadows. Many experienced ex-lovers returning, financial issues resurfacing, and a general air of mystery and deception.
Each of these retrogrades in 2019 had its own cruel sense of irony, yet they all carried the same lesson: slow down, reflect, and uncover the truth beneath the chaos. If you lived through them without too much destruction, consider yourself lucky—or just exceptionally well-prepared. 😏
