Station retrograde is the day Mercury's apparent motion through the zodiac reverses. Station direct is the day it resumes forward motion. The retrograde period is the span between these two dates.

In astrology, the sign Mercury retrogrades in colours the themes associated with that period. A retrograde in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) is traditionally linked to emotional communication, while one in an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is linked to logical and social communication.
