Mercury retrograde certainly isn’t a walk in the park, but it’s not always the cataclysmic cosmic event it is meant to be. After all, Mercury is a trickster at heart, and all this planet wants to do is cause a little bit of trouble.
Unfortunately, when Mercury is retrograde, we are all at the mercy of Mercury’s whims, which is why you tend to feel like everything is going a bit fine during this pesky transit. However, not everyone will feel the effects of this retrograde so intensely.
In fact, if you’re one of the zodiac signs that will be least affected by Mercury retrograde of Autumn of 2021, you might get away with it relatively unscathed.
This Autumn, Mercury will go retrograde on September 27 at 25 degrees Libra and it will go direct on October 18 at 10 degrees Libra.
This cardinal air sign is associated with the balance, harmony, and commitment that exists between two people. After all, Libra is also ruled by Venus, the planet of romance and friendship, which means this retrograde could challenge your understanding of what love really is.
You may even feel a little more preoccupied with your appearance and insecure about the level of beauty surrounding you, thanks to the fact that Libra is an aesthetic-focused zodiac sign as well. Libra loves everything to look perfect and feel poetic, which is why this retrograde might make you seek beauty in the wrong places.
However, not all zodiac signs will feel particularly affected by the upcoming retrograde. If your Sun or rising sign is in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, here’s why this retrograde might be a breeze:

Taurus:
You may feel a little more disorganized and out of balance than usual. You may find it more difficult to stick to your usual routine during this retrograde.
Since it potentially leads you through more disorganization than comfort, this retrograde will encourage you to rethink the decisions you make every day.
How can you make choices that you feel are healthier? What happens when you make decisions based solely on short-term gratification? Lead yourself with your future self in mind.
Leo:
You may find it difficult to stay focused and clear-headed. During this retrograde, you may feel like you are thinking about a thousand different things at once.
With so many conflicting voices in your head, it can seem difficult to form a clear thought.
It can seem even more difficult to express your thoughts in a way that makes sense, as if you are not speaking as clearly as you would like. Give yourself permission to slow down. Collect your thoughts. Be patient.
Scorpio:
Your dreams can take you to strange places. Your subconscious world may seem even stranger than usual.
This retrograde can inspire you to withdraw from the social scene and immerse yourself in your own little world; in a private place where you can explore your imagination and your innermost feelings.
However, if you dive too deep into your own darkness, you might forget that there is just as much light. Remember to refresh and refocus your energy from time to time.
Aquarius:
You explore unknown and unexplored territory. You may feel like you’re going around in circles during this retrograde. You may even feel like you are in the wrong direction, missing the bus, and waiting for your delayed flight.
In fact, this retrograde could give you the impression that your internal GPS system is crashing. And you know what? It’s fine. In life, it’s easy to forget that getting lost is just as important as knowing exactly where you’re going.
Getting lost takes you to beautiful places you never thought you would visit.
