Is Mercury Retrograde Controlling Your Life? A Christian Warning

Mercury Retrograde: A Pagan Belief Wrapped in Modern Confusion

You’ve probably heard it before: “Mercury’s in retrograde—no wonder everything’s going wrong!” Social media is flooded with memes, horoscopes, and rituals every time the planet Mercury appears to reverse its orbit. People blame miscommunication, travel delays, tech failures, and emotional instability on this so-called cosmic disruption. But what is the truth behind Mercury Retrograde?

For Christians, this is far more than superstition. The belief system behind Mercury Retrograde is rooted in pagan spirituality, and its practice opens the door to demonic influence and deception.

What Is Mercury Retrograde?

Astronomically, Mercury Retrograde is an optical illusion: the planet appears to move backward due to Earth's position in orbit. But spiritually and culturally, this illusion has become the center of astrological beliefs that claim Mercury—named after a Roman pagan god—controls human affairs like communication, travel, contracts, and technology.

Astrologers warn that during this phase (which happens three times a year), chaos is inevitable. People turn to horoscopes, rituals, energy crystals, and even witchcraft for guidance and protection. But the Bible warns us that such practices are not harmless—they are spiritually dangerous.

Discern the Root of the Practice

To discern whether a modality is from God or the enemy, ask:

1. What Was the Founder’s Spirituality?

The roots of Mercury Retrograde trace back to Roman paganism and astrology, where the god Mercury (equivalent to the Greek god Hermes) was considered the messenger of the gods. His role was to influence communication, movement, and transactions.

This pagan deity is still honored today through astrology—an occult system that God strictly forbids (Deuteronomy 18:10–12).

2. What Culture Did It Come From?

Astrology, including Mercury Retrograde belief, arose from Babylonian, Greek, and Roman pagan cultures—societies known for idol worship, magic, and divination.

3. What Were Their Beliefs?

They believed planets were gods or tools of the gods, each with power over human life. Mercury was believed to cause mischief or imbalance when “retrograding,” and offerings or rituals were needed to appease these cosmic forces.

4. Who Is Their God or gods?

The god of Mercury Retrograde is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but a false Roman god. The spirit behind this belief is demonic, as all pagan gods are ultimately manifestations of Satan’s kingdom (1 Corinthians 10:20).

5. What Is the Purpose of This Modality?

Mercury Retrograde beliefs are used to justify negative events, guide decisions, and predict outcomes. It leads people to trust in stars instead of the Sovereign God, shifting hope away from Christ and into divination—a practice God calls abominable.

Why It’s Spiritually Dangerous

Many Christians unknowingly adopt astrology’s language: “Mercury Retrograde messed up my plans,” or “I’ll wait until it ends to travel.” But here's the truth:

🔥 When you speak and believe these lies, you align yourself with demonic spirits—not God's truth.

Demonic Manifestations That Follow:

Persistent confusion and miscommunication
Sudden, repeated obstacles in travel or planning
Emotional volatility or depression
Irrational fear during retrograde periods
Openings for psychic attacks, nightmares, or spiritual oppression
A growing reliance on horoscopes, astrologers, or diviners

These are not random life problems—they are spiritual consequences of inviting darkness through belief in lies.

What If You or Your Ancestors Believed in Mercury Retrograde?

If you, your family, or spiritual leaders have followed astrology—even casually—you may be under a spiritual influence.

The Word of God says:

“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.” – Leviticus 19:31

Mercury Retrograde is not science; it’s sorcery wrapped in pseudoscience.

Scriptural Rebuttal to Mercury Retrograde Beliefs

📖 Genesis 1:14–18 – God made the stars to give light, not to rule or be consulted for direction.
📖 Deuteronomy 4:19 – “Beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and worship the sun, moon, and stars…”
📖 Isaiah 47:13–14 – God mocks astrologers who try to predict fate by the stars: “Let your astrologers come forward... surely they are like stubble.”
📖 Jeremiah 10:2 – “Do not learn the way of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky.”
📖 Colossians 2:8 – “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy.”

How to Break Free

If you’ve believed in Mercury Retrograde or gone to astrologers, here are steps to take:

REPENT – Acknowledge it as sin before God (1 John 1:9).
RENOUNCE – Out loud, reject every belief, horoscope, or astrology connection.
BREAK – Cancel any soul ties or generational ties to divination and astrology in Jesus' name.
COMMAND – Demonic spirits associated with Mercury or astrology must leave in Jesus’ name.
REPLACE – Fill your mind with God’s Word. He alone orders your steps (Proverbs 16:9).

Final Warning to the Church

Astrology has crept into Christian circles under the guise of fun or harmless entertainment. But this is a spiritual Trojan horse. It subtly undermines faith in God’s sovereignty and replaces it with fear of planets and timing charts.

“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.” – 1 Corinthians 10:21

✝️ God created Mercury. It does not control your life—HE does. Trust in Him alone.
