‘When Mercury Retrograde has everything feeling off, this position helps you reconnect without saying a word,’ Levi said.

Reverse Cowgirl
Although reverse cowgirl isn’t a face-to-face position, it allows a couple to switch things up and have fun
You might assume that any position where you’re faced away from your partner won’t be too effective at creating closeness, but Levi said this isn’t the case for reverse cowgirl.
She explained that the focus of this position is to switch things up – this time the person on top is setting the pace and the one on the bottom can just enjoy.
‘It’s a fun way to break routine and add some playful energy when things feel a little too predictable,’ she dished.
Lotus

If you want to get up close and personal with your partner, the lotus position is the way to do it.
One person sits with their legs crossed on the bed, while the other gets on top while facing them.
The person on top then wraps their leg around the other, so that it looks like both partners are intertwined.
‘Lotus position helps you slow down and reconnect,’ Levi explained.
The position calls for a lot of intimacy, but the closeness of it allows the sex to remain calm and loving.
It’s a perfect way to ground yourself in the moment and remind each other what really matters,’ she added.
Launch Pad
The launch pad provides precise, deep penetration
In this position, the receiving partner lays down with their legs bent, and the penetrating partner gets on their knees in front of them.
Then, the receiving partner places their feet on the penetrating’s partner’s chest, giving the illusion that they’re about to kick off at any moment (hence the name).
‘When Mercury retrograde stirs up confusion, this position brings clarity through pure connection,’ Levi said.
She explained that the launch pad allows for precise, deep penetration which can really heighten physical pleasure.
And of course, the close eye contact helps you remain emotionally locked in to your partner.
This kind of intimacy can help break through any walls that the Mercury Retrograde may be bringing.
‘Sometimes, feeling truly seen and felt is the best way to push past the chaos,’ Levi said.
