Mercury Sag Dates 2024: When to Expect the Chaos (and How to Prepare)
Well, let me tell ya, this whole “Mercury sag” thing, sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. But folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d try to make some sense of it, ya know? Like, what in tarnation is a “Mercury retrograde” anyway?
What is Mercury Retrograde anyway?
From what I gather, it’s when this Mercury fella, ain’t no planet I ever seen, starts lookin’ like it’s goin’ backwards in the sky. Now, it ain’t really goin’ backwards, mind you. It’s just an illusion, like when you’re on a train and the other train looks like it’s movin’ the other way. But these astrology folks, they say it messes with things down here on Earth.
- Confusion and Misunderstandings: They say folks get all confused and misunderstandin’ each other durin’ this time. Like, you ask for sugar, and they give you salt. You tell ’em to go left, they go right. Sounds like a regular Tuesday to me!
- Tech Troubles: And the machines, oh lordy, the machines! Apparently, they go haywire too. Phones breakin’, computers crashin’, cars stallin’. Just like when my grandson tries to fix somethin’, bless his heart.
- Travel Delays: And don’t even think about travelin’! They say planes get delayed, trains get stuck, and you end up sittin’ around waitin’ for days. I say, just stay home, it’s safer.
When does this Mercury thing happen in 2024?
Now, this here Mercury mess, it happens a few times a year. They’re sayin’ in 2024, it’s gonna be a doozy. Let’s see if I got this right…
- First, it happened from December 13, 2023 to January 1, 2024. That’s already done gone past.
- Then, it happened again from April 1 to April 25. Springtime, can you believe it? Messin’ with plantin’ season, I bet.
- And then, it’s comin’ back again from August 4 to August 28. Hot summer days, and Mercury’s playin’ its tricks. They say somethin’ about your health and work during this time, like you might start thinkin’ again about what you eat and how much you work. Probably a good thing, some folks work too hard.
- And get this, it ain’t done yet! It’s gonna rear its ugly head one last time from November 25 to December 15. Right smack dab in the middle of the holidays! Can’t even get your Christmas shoppin’ done without Mercury messin’ with ya. This one’s in somethin’ called Sagittarius, sounds fancy. This time, they want you to slow down and look at your life, like where you at in your head and with other folks.
And get this, this last one stretches into 2025, all the way to January 2. It takes a long time for things to get back to normal they say. It’s like after you churn butter, it takes a minute for it all to settle down.
So, what do you do about it?
Well, these astrology folks, they got all sorts of advice. They say you should “reassess your vision,” whatever that means. Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. They also say you should check your “internal compass.” I ain’t got no compass, internal or otherwise.
But I reckon what they’re tryin’ to say is, slow down a bit. Don’t be in such a hurry. Double-check everything. And for goodness sake, don’t sign any important papers durin’ this time! You might end up sellin’ your cow for a handful of beans, ya know?
Is it real, or is it just a bunch of baloney?
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, I’m a bit skeptical. I’ve lived a long life, seen a lot of things, and I ain’t never seen Mercury messin’ with nothin’ personally. But then again, maybe I just wasn’t payin’ attention. Or maybe it’s just one of them things you can’t see, like the wind. You can’t see it, but you sure can feel it blowin’.
So, I guess what I’m sayin’ is, believe it or not, it’s up to you. But it can’t hurt to be a little extra careful, a little more patient, and a little more understanding durin’ these times. And if things do go haywire, well, just blame it on Mercury. That’s what everyone else does, right?
And one more thing, they say this end of the year Mercury retrograde is the last one until 2025, so maybe we get a break for a while. Lord knows, we could all use a little peace and quiet from that pesky planet.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on this whole Mercury sag thing. Take it or leave it, it don’t cost you nothin’.
