May god have mercy on our souls.

Mercury retrograde affects communication, travel and technology. I am seeing signs of it already in the communication arena.

Here are a couple articles explaining the phenomenon.

This article is from last year but it's a good one and explains how you can feel the effects before (and after) the actual retrograde.

unless you believe in astrology, and that the movement of a planet millions of miles away somehow affects our daily lives - nothing, really. it's just an optical illusion that makes it look like mercury is moving "backward" in the sky (but isn't actually) due to our planets' relative motion. it happens several times every year.

here's a good, concise scientific explanation video:
