Retrograde truly works wonders. According to the laws of nature, planets of Solar system move in their orbit at the same speed. But if you look at them from the Earth, then their movement ceases to be uniform.
"Mercury Retrograde" is the most common phrases in astrology (except for Full Moon and eclipses), because this phenomenon occurs 3-4 times a year. It's usually associated with any horror stories and incidents that occur in our lives. However, the action of retro-Mercury is rather specific than negative, it may be very positive. I have repeatedly covered the topic of Mercury retrograde in my publications (links below), and I have put all the information together in this article. You will find the pros and cons in the gallery.
Since 2013, I've been officially working as a professional astrologer in the Russian-speaking space. And although my site is in Russian, it's often visited by users of other Slavic nationalities, for example, residents of Eastern Europe. Of course, I always wanted to expand the scope of my broadcast, and in 2020 I started creating the English version of my site. This is a very time-consuming task, because by that time I had created a lot of content, and most importantly, I had created a huge database of astrological interpretations, which I use in natal, couples and prognostic consultations. Google Translate has made my task a bit easier, and I hope you will understand my English interpretations. 
Many people associate astrology with the delusion that the stars and planets influence the events of our lives. You have probably heard a phrase like “if something goes wrong, then Mercury retrograde is to blame.” In fact, the planets don't affect us in any way. But, doing astrology, we adhere to the theory that the world is a single system, and everything is synchronized in it - Earthly processes and planetary cycles. Since the movement of the planets can be easily calculated for months ahead, then the events of these months can be tried to predict. The main gag is to interpret the calculation reliably. Because planets cycles are regularly repeated, but in different combinations. Here are some examples: 
The concept of "Mercury Retrograde" has become a household name, because the mass media has promoted it well. Astrologers talk about it often too, because Mercury's retro periods (unlike other planets) occur several times a year - sometimes 3, sometimes 4. In general, people like to focus only on regular phenomena such as Full Moon or eclipses, forgetting that the giant planets also turn retrograde twice a year, and this greatly affects the global situation and the development of worldwide processes. But everyone likes to watch the cycles of the small planets - the Moon and Mercury, which are responsible for fleeting circumstances in our private lives. I will devote my other article to the lunar cycles, but today I will analyze in detail the phenomenon of Mercury retrograde in astronomical terms.
