At some point in your life, you have heard someone say, “Mercury is in retrograde” and had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Mercury goes retrograde a couple of times a year and this year one of those times is happening now, from February 17 until March 10.
When this happens, be ready for things to change. But don’t worry because the foods you love can provide comfort during this time of need specific to your zodiac sign. The dining expert at OpenTable has created a list to reveal the best-suited cuisine to your horoscope!
