More Mercury Retrograde Information

Here’s an excellent article from Astrology Alive on Mercury Retrograde: 

What can we experience during Mercury retrogrades? – most often, increased frustration, interruptions and snafu’s that make even simple projects seem impossible You will need more caution, more care, and a pinch more of elbow grease to get things done. Typically there are delays, interferences, miscommunications (especially for those of us with strong Virgo or Gemini in our charts (Mercury is the ruler of these two signs). It is not a good time to launch or initiate new projects. You will be pushing off, symbolically, just when the tide is going out, and it will be more of a strain to make headway with your plan – better to wait until the current is moving with you.

The article goes on to say that the areas you need to be especially careful with are:

1. If you must sign a contract during this time, diligently check the details

2. Decisions you make may need to be reversed when the retrograde period ends so try not to make any major decisions

3. It’s not a good time to send out marketing or public relations materials because they may be misunderstood, you may get little response for your effort, or you may have to make last minute changes

4. Back up everything on your computer. This is a time when the hard drive or software may fail.

In fact, I just experienced a typical Mercury Retrograde snafu. The first time I hit “publish” to publish this post on my blog, nothing happened except that I received a prompt saying “unable to connect to the remote server.”

Typical!!

That was yesterday. The computer had time to sleep over night. Hopefully it’s refreshed today. I’m going to try it again. Wish me well.
