Those who dread Mercuryâs retrograde motion say that, when the planet travels backward, its power to positively influence these domains is stifled, leading to chaos. Believers in the malevolent power of Mercury retrograde blame the phenomenon for everything from arguments to lost mail or luggage to automobile accidents, and warn people to hold back on conducting important business during this time.
In addition, many retrograde planets can make one introverted and shy. People who have four or more of their planets retrograde are known as late bloomers.. If the main chart ruler is retrograde, then the above applies, as the chart ruler has the most emphasis and importance in determining one's fate.n some cases, those who have retrograde Mercury can be reserved, shy, and quiet. In addition, one or more of the areas ruled by the house in which Mercury retrograde is posited, along with the houses with Gemini and Virgo on the cusps can sometimes experience delays or other problems.
