Before the actual retrograde, we experience the Mercury retro shade period, where things may bot have been going your way for a certain period. Look at is a the trailer of a movie, a teaser of what's to come.

Mercury Retrograde 2021 and Your Relationships
Are you thinking of striking up a conversation with the cutie in line for morning coffee? Starting new relationships, either platonic or romantic, are exciting, you will want to be mindful and aware of communication during these times. According to astrologer Liz Simmons, "Since it is occurring in Libra, the one thing to avoid is committing to a new partnership. Libra is ruled by union: romantic and professional. Mercury retrograde is not the time to start new commitments or partnerships, as the details could be murky."
Let's say you don't take into consideration all of the astrological advisories and proceed with dating the cutie you met at the coffee line or started a new side hustle. You are in your right to do so, but do so with care and be on the lookout of any red flags. "Expect that it could fall apart by the time Mercury retrograde finished or expect significant issues post-retrograde with details coming to light," adds Liz.
New relationships aren't the only thing you should be worried during this time. Liz adds that, Mercury in Retrograde could lead to you eating to get back with your ex, and you might come to regret it. If you find yourself wondering 'why do I keep dreaming about my ex' or 'should I keep my ex as backup' during the time, the answer is a cleat: NO!

Liz adds, "During its retrograde in Libra, Mercury will be meeting with Mars, which could make us feel anger and frustration. We will need to take deep breaths and bite our tongues during this time, especially between October 5 and October 12."
