How It Works

Mercury returning to its natal position resets your communication and thinking patterns. This is your Mercury Return, occurring roughly once a year.

A Mercury Return recalibrates how you think, speak and process information. The patterns you have developed over the past year in communication and learning come up for review. You may notice a sharpened clarity about how you express yourself or a renewed interest in a subject that had gone quiet.

The return itself is brief but what you think about and how you communicate in the weeks following tends to set the tone for the year ahead.
