Main Impact

The Mercury retrograde in 2018 will mainly occur in the fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire signs are prone to impulsiveness, so during the Mercury retrograde period, you must especially control your emotions and be careful in what you say and do, otherwise you may go in the wrong direction. If you have important planets or points in your natal chart within 1° before or after the retrograde and direct points, these points in the chart will become sensitive and you can use them to slow down and control the speed (Mercury retrograde points) or to start things and make big strides forward (Mercury direct points).
