In 2024, Mercury retrograde will occur three times. April 1 marks the first date of this astro event, which will have a significant impact on a particular sign.
Mercury retrograde. If the expression is enough to scare some people, there is no necessarily cause for concern, because the impact of this event differs depending on the signs. As a reminder, Mercury retrograde occurs on average three times per year for two or three weeks. In his book Astrology (Albin Michel), Sasha Fenton explains that “the movement of Mercury seems to cross the zodiac backwards”. A phenomenon which gave its name to the event. However, it remains an optical effect.
The planet Mercury retrogrades first in April, almost the whole month. This retrograde takes place in Aries, a fire sign that is as loyal as it is fiery. This event may cause concern because Mercury is considered the planet of communication, transmission and travel. So, all of these areas can suffer when the planet retrogrades. A particular sign will experience difficulties during this period.

Where will Mercury retrograde in 2024?
This summer, Mercury retrograde will visit two constellations: those of Virgo (earth sign) and Leo (fire sign). However, these two signs come into contradiction: Virgo is rather down-to-earth, she is organized, sometimes cautious and above all more quick to reflect. Leo is more extroverted. He likes to please, talk, seduce, enjoys the company of others and can be impulsive. Such opposition is enough to perplex every sign…
And this fall, Mercury will retrograde again in a fire sign: Sagittarius. A sign that will have to curb his desires for adventure, because Mercury retrograde can impact transportation and movement. He will therefore have to be patient! Especially since during this period, each sign is invited to take time before speakingso as not to risk hurting people and creating misunderstandings.
