Mercury retrograde tips and tricks to prevent dating disasters

Mercury Retrograde has returned, my babies. It is the most evil time of the year, the people, when the communication planet slows their proverbial roll and wreaks havoc on our travel plans and the best efforts in clear communication.

Mercury Retrograde is a bit wrong: the planet only seems to move back from our appearance here to Earth. Mercury really slows down three to four times a year, interrupting and disturbing the naturally regulated kingdoms: expression, cognition, currency, technology and travel.

The fastest planet in our solar system, Mercury is appointed by the emissary of the gods, a psychopompan that its reach came from the heights of the ambrosia and the driving of Olympus’ Olympus to the sentence and penetration of the underworld.

In addition to being the god of messaging, Mercury is also the pattern of thieves and tricks, and the abopos of this, when the planet slows down, likes to play tricks and steal our feeling of stability, taking into account chaos as Charlie Sheen on 2k11.

Relationships are a challenge at any time, but the slowdown of mercury makes even the simplest exchanges feel dangerous, which is used to explain why more than 1 in 3 people stop leaving together during the dangerous weeks that Mercury does.

Anastasiya Pochotna, from the application of Flirtini dating, explains in the publication: “Around half of all couples have experienced communication struggles or arguing and struggles during the retrograde of Mercury, while 25% of people have turned. It is not wonderful wedge between us and our partners.”

However, if you are a BH, a hard romantic, a true believer or a more star defender, here are some tips and tricks to make the most of the appointments during the second retrograde of 2025, which runs from July 18 to August 11, courtesy of Pochotna and his appointment expert Anna Hintsyak, of the pure application.

Two and Don’t of Dating during Mercury Retrograde

Give your partner to benefit from doubt

Pochotna says in the publication: “The wrong communication is true, so don’t take anything said to the heat of a nominal value argument. Even if you hit a nerve, only let it slide.”

Give everyone, including yourself, the grace of fast forgiveness during this retrograde.

Clarity is compassion

It is easy to react instead of responding when temperaments occur. The words sink and mercury is being a lens. Pochotna advises people to pause before they get, “before jumping through the throat, ask what they meant.

To clarify during the conversation, consider your question as: “Allow -Me see if I understand what you say. You tell me x. Is it correct?” It sounds much more constructive than “go f – k yourself”, right?

Practice active listening

Pochotna says in the post, “When your partner speaks, give them all your attention. If you constantly interrupt or only listen to half, ask for problems.”

The vital tips for being a better listener during mercury retrograde and beyond maintaining visual contact, eliminating distractions and driving with curiosity.

Let your partner finish their thinking and ask questions instead of automatically offering a response/defense. Examples include: “What’s upset about this situation?”, “Can you say -More about it?”, And maybe the most important thing, “What do you need at this moment?”

Choose your words carefully

Pochotna recommends, “Don’t say what you are thinking about and I hope it is well received. It will not be. Choose your words wisely and try to be empathetic … even if you don’t really feel it.”

Before speaking, pay attention to the poet Mary Ann Pietzker, who implies, “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?” If the answer is not to one or to all, consider swallowing, instead of making your words.

Note your body language

Pochotna holds: “Non -verbal actions, like facial expressions, speak a thousand words, so you better save the eye rolls when you are out of sight.”

In addition to curbing the eye rolls and other obvious signs of Ire, he resists crossing his arms through his chest, as he communicates the resistance to the opening.

If possible, stroll with your partner when difficult conversations occur. Interviewing -Seaning the camaraderie and the act of moving towards a shared destination together can be translated into a stronger feeling of being on the same team.

Participate in the pre-Pujada conversation

Since sex is a form of communication, bedroom setbacks, errors and disappointments are a common symptom of mercury retrograde. Hinsyak explains in the publication: “If you cannot communicate, your sex life will suffer. My advice? Take -you take time to talk about your wishes, limits and expectations before passing -if you understand the needs of the other, you will enjoy a more satisfactory sexual connection, regardless of how mercury turns.”

Give -a rest on your chest before you talk

Pochotna says in the publication, “If things are heated, you step back. Argumenting -you won’t take you anywhere, so schedule a moment to talk -once you are calm.”

Although the programming of an argument may feel difficult, allow the cooler heads and a hard edit of your discussion points to be key during this traffic.

Having the time to write your thoughts will guarantee you to express yourself calmly and completely. I also highly recommend preparing for a healthy speech with a fibrous refreshment and a few deep breathing cycles.

Take a technological break/commitment to digital detoxification

“It is much easier to take things too much about the text when we cannot see our partner’s reaction. If a discussion cannot wait, at least face to face,” Pochotna tells the post.

The advantages of face -to -face communication cannot be overcome, especially during a retrograde cycle when misunderstandings are always high. Communicating in person shows a couple or a potential partner who values them and relationships.

Being present physically also allows you to read body language and properly evaluate emotional responses.

The silver coating of this backspin

Hinsyak maintains that the mindfulness, more than abstinence, is the name of the game during Mercury Retrograde.

She explains in the publication: “ Instead of putting the dating life during Mercury’s retrograde, you just need to be more aware, especially when it comes to sex. Take -you take time to communicate -you, be honest and address any problem as they come up. It will help you the duration of difficult times, and it is a great practice for things that return to normality.

Express, do not suppress! I wish you all clarity, communion, compassion and the glorious departure of sexual healing this retrograde season.
