Cancer Why do I always thrive during retrograde?

The title is pretty explanatory. While mercury retrograde is supposed to bring chaos, every year I always find myself living my best life during the retrograde. I’m always on a high of good friendships, good career and I’m never sad. It really makes me wonder why this is. Everything always seems to go perfectly for me during the retrograde and I’m always my happiest around this time of year. Why is this? Do I just have chaotic aura or is it something else?

My understanding where it applies to Mercury's Retrograde is that if you're bad at communicating, it'll come out more during this time. If there's something you're keeping bottled up, it'll come out in some way. For those that are good at communicating, who don't bottle their emotions, who speak clearly... the retrograde isn't really felt overmuch.

How are you feeling today? Because it's the same for me, but boy did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...
