How do you know if you were born during a Mercury Retrograde?
Go to Astro.com and put in your birth info. its free. Even if you don’t know your birth time exactly you can still find out if Mercury {or the other planets} were travelling Retrograde. There will be a small R or Rx symbol beside the planet.
Statistically 18%-30% of the population are born under this aspect. You are not alone, you are in a very special group. You are a very creative thinkers. Your consciousness is finally tuned. It is a naturally more intuitive and receptive way to cogitate.
Natural born Mercury Retrogrades always think outside the box. Yes there is something naturally Uranian about them you could say. They don’t think like “normal” people. They don’t feel understood most of the time. They stand out as creative thinkers, innovators, designers, artists, and invaluable resources as writers, philosophers and imaginations. Dostoevsky and Buckmister Fuller are in this group.
People with Mercury Retrograde take in information differently. Usually they are insecure, unsure or ignorant about how smart they are. Most Mercury Retrograde people are often labelled as A.D.D. or A.D.H.D. Some people with this position struggle with doubts about their own perceptions. Mercury Retrograde peeps do a lot of double-checking and revising information and ideas before communicating. They would make great editors naturally.
