Poll: Do You Think Mercury Retrograde Will Affect Your Love Life?

By . Posted on .

planets mercury retrograde
From August 2 to 26, mercury is going retrograde. Find out what it means for love.

Are you an astrology junkie? In that case, you already know that Mercury went retrograde on Aug. 2, and will stay that way until Aug. 26. The planet is described as going "retrograde" when it appears to be moving backwards through the sky — which supposedly sends our lives backwards, too, messing with channels of communication, technology — and love. We are supposed to lay low and reflect during this period, rather than initiate a flurry of activity. In Mercury Retrograde Love Dos And Don'ts, HuffPost Women advises not to get married, pursue a crush or go on a first date. What you should do is revisit familiar haunts, as well as engage in activities you like doing, with your partner or without. Want to read the mercury retrograde horoscope for your sign? HuffPo Women has that too: Aug. 2 - 26 Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes.

Take our poll: Do you think mercury retrograde will affect your love life?

Yes, I will make sure to follow experts' advice and lay low during this period.
