It takes Mercury 88 days to orbit around the Sun, and this is how long it takes Mercury to move through the 12 signs of the zodiac, spending about 13-14 days in a zodiac sign. Mercury also enters retrograde frequently, usually around 3 – 4 times a year.
We are born with each planet in a particular zodiac sign, and the position of these planets is displayed in our natal chart. Every 88 days, Mercury proceeds on its cycle, coming into conjunction with our natal planets. There are ten conjunctions in total with the transiting Mercury to our natal planets, as Mercury will conjunct each natal planet when it completes each 88-day cycle. Because Mercury enters retrograde frequently, there is a possibility that it can conjunct a natal planet up to 3 times during its 88-day orbit.
As Mercury rules over the mind, we have specific thinking patterns that change according to the transits of Mercury. Some days we are highly focused and intelligent; some days, our minds feel foggy, lacking inspiration and deep thought.

Every time Mercury conjuncts a natal planet, it has a unique effect, which is why we feel mentally sharp and energized some days, whereas, on other days, we cannot make sense of or structure our thoughts. These changes in our mental space can be determined by the transiting Mercury’s relationship to our natal planets.
