Strangely enough, Mercury Retrograde is one of the best periods for those who are eager to make their former lovers come back. To be more exact, this is the moment when Mercury, the planet of communication, and Venus, the planet of love and romance, both go retrograde. During these periods, people tend to think more about their relationships, including the past ones, and the chances are high that your former significant other spends these days dreaming about you. Remember that Mercury is in retrograde about three to four times a year, while Venus only every 18 months. The Moon is another thing you can take into consideration when choosing the best time for getting your ex back. Get in touch with your ex when the Moon is passing Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (if you want to make sex one of your powerful tools). Don’t do anything related to your former lover when the Moon is in Capricorn or Virgo because these business-like signs are not going to help you in your aspirations.
