Mercury goes retrograde three to four times a year because its position relative to Earth and the Sun repeats roughly every 116 days — this is known as Mercury’s synodic cycle.
Mercury’s current retrograde period runs from October 24 to November 13, 2026.
Mercury is the Messenger with winged feet that resides closest to the Sun. It’s retrograde motion is an illusion due to the difference in size of Earth’s and Mercury’s elliptical orbits. Retrograde is a mis-communication of what the Truth appears to be.
