Famous astrologer Dinçer Güner, who frequently draws attention with his social media posts, recently connected the cyberattack that brought down X to Mercury retrograde.

Güner mentioned, “The effects of Mercury retrograde actually started a few days ago” and explained that we may face technical problems during this period due to celestial events. Let’s take a step-by-step look at what Mercury retrograde is and its effects 👇

What’s Happening in the Sky: What Is Mercury Retrograde?

First, it’s important to know that Mercury is associated with communication, self-expression, speech, information flow, and the mind. It influences everything from commerce and transportation to technology and relationships, all governed by the mind and communication. Additionally, Mercury is a fast-moving planet that causes disruptions when it slows down.

However, it’s important to note that Mercury doesn’t literally move backward during retrograde; it just appears to do so from Earth’s perspective due to its slow pace.

What Will Happen During Mercury Retrograde?

Here’s What to Be Cautious About:

Be careful with communication! Misunderstandings can increase, and messages might be sent to the wrong people or groups.
Not only words but objects can also go missing… Packages may get lost, or you might find yourself unable to locate items in your house.
Past matters may resurface. This is the perfect time to use the excuse 'I called by mistake...' Unfinished relationships could confuse the future.
Technology could be problematic. It’s a good idea to back up your digital files as electronic devices can be strongly affected by planetary movements.
Travel may be delayed! You may experience transportation issues, get lost, or have your flight delayed.
If you have plans, it’s wise to leave early to avoid getting stuck in traffic, even in unlikely places.
Be extra cautious with details! Sudden decisions, signed contracts, and new partnerships require careful consideration during this period as we tend to be more prone to mistakes.
Pay attention to minor accidents and small injuries. Be extra cautious while driving and exercising.
For Aries, be especially careful during Mercury retrograde. Avoid being impulsive, hasty, or overly irritated. Otherwise, you may regret your actions, as small sparks could lead to major conflicts. In short, don’t give in to Aries' impulsiveness. According to Güner, “Don’t get carried away, stay calm.”
Finally, pay attention to job interviews and career changes. Secure your position and avoid taking risks.

What Should You Do During Mercury Retrograde?

Of course, Mercury retrograde isn’t all bad news. Some things that begin during this period could change your life for the better. Here’s what you can do during Mercury retrograde:

Finish unfinished business: Mercury retrograde is actually a great time to complete unfinished tasks and address any gaps.
Maintenance and repairs: While it’s not the best time to buy new electronics, it’s a great period for repairs, maintenance, and fixing things.
Enhance your appearance: Retrograde is a great time for aesthetic procedures and healing operations that might speed up your recovery.
Stay calm: Remember that Mercury retrograde issues aren’t permanent. If there’s a breakup, a problem, or a fight, things could get better after retrograde ends. Misunderstandings won’t last long and won’t have a lasting negative impact on your life. Hold on tight—retrograde ends on April 9th!
What if decisions made during retrograde affect ongoing processes? If a decision regarding a job offer, a relationship, or a partnership is made during retrograde, don’t worry. Mercury retrograde won’t interfere with things that started before.
