Mercury
Retrograde Cycles
How to Successfully
Navigate
Communication Snafus
If you know anything
about astrology, you
have probably heard
the term Mercury
Retrograde.
Mercury, the winged
messenger of the
gods, is the planet
associated with
communication. This
includes writing,
speaking, and
reasoning. Mercury
is also associated
with mechanical and
electrical items.
Retrograde is an
astronomical
phenomenon during
which a planet
appears to stop in
its orbit and move
backwards.
Simply put Mercury
Retrograde periods
are associated with
communication snafus
and mechanical and
electrical items
going awry. During
these timeframes,
communication
mishaps occur more
frequently. People
are late for
appointments or
don't show up at
all, or show up at
the wrong place.
Because of the
possibility of
miscommunication and
unreliable
information, it's
best to avoid
signing contracts or
agreements.
Mechanical and
electrical items are
prone to go out of
whack.
So what can you do?
First, before
Mercury Retrograde
begins, make sure
you back up your
computer, put air in
your tires, and get
an oil change if one
is due.
During the
Retrograde, focus on
finishing up old
project and doing
the research
required for new
ones.
The Mercury
Retrograde timeframe
is favorable for
writing or rewriting
that proposal you've
been meaning to get
to; so that once
Mercury turns Direct
(appears to move
forward), you're
ready to go. It's
also favorable for
reconsidering your
goals and deciding
what you'd like to
do next. If more
mundane matters
require attention,
it's perfect for
reconciling the
checkbook or
cleaning out the
closets. By getting
current and clearing
away what you no
longer want, you
create psychic space
for future
opportunity.
