All the funny Mercury Retrograde memes to make the astrological effects just a little bit easier.
We're currently in the first Mercury Retrograde of 2020 (there's three in 2020!) so we might as well do something to pass the time while our lives possibly crash and burn, right? Mercury Retrograde – meaning the planet appears to be moving backwards in its orbit – kicked off on 16 February following a "retroshade" period.
As you know, Mercury Retrograde is a time that usually brings chaos in its path. In astrology, Mercury rules communication, technology and travel, which means our lives can go a little manic in these areas. That could mean a former flame just might return and slip you a message, the internet could crash just as you were about to hit save, or you might miss the train to work.

But, the one thing Mercury can't mess up? The internet's ability to make memes about any sort of crisis. So, if you need an astrological pick me up, stay tuned.
Good news (for water signs, at least)! The first Mercury Retrograde of 2020 is in Pisces, which means it's going to be the easiest of the three retrogrades in 2020.

Don't drive. Don't take the train, let alone the plane. Don't take the bus, don't make a fuss. Don't touch a bicycle. Don't walk. Don't talk. Don't move. Just freeze. This too will pass.
Wish y’all would stop telling me when mercury retrograde is so I could just live in my usual chaos, anxiety, & insecurity without being extra aware of it
