Mercury retrograde in 2025: Three times in the same river?

What does Mercury retrograde bring to women 50+? Communication confusion, technology outages, but also a chance to reboot and introspect. Use it to your advantage!

Yes, this year Mercury decided to remind us of his power right away three times. So if one cosmic slowdown wasn't enough for you, you have two more chances for patience, introspection, and deep breaths. 📿

• March 15 – April 7
  The transition from action-packed Aries to dreamy Pisces will bring a desire for drastic change in the first few days, which will then be replaced by calm contemplation. Emotions give way to impulses, and the universe whispers: "Stop and listen."
• May 29 – June 25
  During this period, you may start to ask yourself: “What did I actually promise? And why?” It's time to reevaluate plans, agreements, and your own motives.
• August 25 – September 17
  And now is the chance for a big cleanup – not just on your computer, but also in your soul. Old issues are knocking on the door asking: “Are we done yet, or do we have room for another round?”

Mercury (aka Hermes, if you're a Greek soul) was not only the god of trade, travel, and odd jobs, but also the messenger of the gods. Yes, exactly the type who always delivers something - even when we don't feel like receiving it. Both also accompanied souls to the underworld - which is quite symbolic when you consider that during retrograde we often descend into our own depths and bring up forgotten emotions, words, and unresolved issues.

And when it "reverses," we feel like it reverses everything. Relationships. Wi-Fi. Feelings. And yes, even trains.

From Earth's perspective, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards. It's just an optical illusion (Mercury isn't going backwards, don't worry), but astrology claims that this phenomenon affects:

• 📞 Communication – confusion, misunderstandings, "out of order" emails
• 💻 Technology – outages, frozen computers, lost documents
• ✈️ Travel – delays, canceled flights, suitcases left for Rio
• 🤝 Relationships – past returns, introspective moods

🧘‍♀️ Slow down. Take a moment for yourself.
🖥 Back up. What is not saved is as if it did not exist.
📖 Go back to the old one. Old books, friends, ideas.
💬 Measure twice, send once. Especially emails and SMS.

This stone is like a cleaner for your mind – it will clear away the chaos, enhance your focus, and give your brain a little fresh air.

Don't worry. Mercury just wants to remind us that a pause is also a movement. And that in times when things aren't going out, it's ideal to go inward - into yourself.

Try saying something like:
"I don't need to deal with everything now. I just need to be calm."
Or put an affirmation in the mirror: "I am at peace even in the midst of cosmic chaos."

Don't be afraid of Mercury retrograde. Don't blame it for every missed date or poorly painted nail. Rather, see it as an invitation to slow down, to come back to yourself, and to what makes sense. You might feel like throwing everything overboard and heading to the beach during Mercury retrograde. And guess what? Do it! But as you sip your cocktail with your umbrella, try to remember that this period has its gifts.

Right now is the moment:

• Clean out your digital and mental clutter
• Return to unread books (or relationships)
• Call a friend you haven't seen in years
• And most importantly – slow down and find direction without pressure
