retrograde Mercury rules 6th and 9th house is in 4th house in Aries

As a Jyotish astrologer, I understand that Mercury is the planet of communication, intellect, and reasoning. When it is retrograde, it means that its energy is not smoothly flowing in its natural orbit, leading to delays, misunderstandings, and miscommunications.

In your case, Mercury is retrograde in the 4th house of your birth chart, which represents your domestic life, mental peace, and family roots. Aries is the sign of initiative, action, and independence, which means that you may feel restless and impulsive when it comes to your home and family matters.

This placement suggests that you may face some challenges in communication with your family members, especially your mother, as the 4th house signifies the maternal figure. There could also be some confusion or conflicts related to your home or property, such as relocation, renovation, or inheritance.

On the positive side, this placement can enhance your analytical skills and intuition, making you more introspective and self-aware. You may find that you have a natural talent for research, writing or teaching, which can be useful in your professional life.

To balance the negative effects of Mercury retrograde in the 4th house, I suggest that you practice mindfulness and patience in your communication, especially with your loved ones. You can also benefit from meditation or yoga, which can help you calm your restless mind and connect with your inner self.
