What happens when Mercury is retrograde?

During Mercury retrograde, the control of the mind itself is lost. You might remain lost in your thoughts unconsciously. This might make one react unnecessarily, be harsh with others, or lead to misunderstandings in relationships. The most hazardous part of this is that often we don't even realise we are making mistakes, and the longer this phase lasts, the greater the damage is.
