Should I text him during Mercury retrograde?
Mercury retrograde is not a universal ban on sending a message. In astrology, it can be used as a reminder to review intentions and communicate clearly. What matters more is whether contact is welcome, what you want to say and whether you can accept a response different from the one you hope for.

A new conversation, a repair attempt and a message sent for reassurance have different purposes. Name yours before using the sky as permission or prohibition. If someone has asked for no contact, a retrograde interpretation does not change that boundary. If the conversation is welcome, clarity about the subject is more useful than trying to time every message perfectly.
A question to take with you.
Try: “What do I want this person to understand, and have I expressed it plainly?” A carefully framed message can leave room for their answer without demanding a particular outcome.
Try this.
- Draft the message and identify its main purpose.
- Respect an expressed boundary regardless of the planetary status.
