Mercury appears retrograde 3 times a year for approximately 3 weeks at a time. Here’s the kicker ~ I attach a 3 week shadow on each side making it a 9 week period altogether.
Not all of Mercury retrograde is negative, though. Yes, cell phones and computers can get glitchy; the light can come on in your car and you take it to the mechanic and nothing is wrong with it. ( I always tell people, unless it’s the break light or something important, wait until after the retrograde to get it checked because it just might fix itself!)� Anything with communication and transportation can go haywire and if you’re a Gemini or a Virgo, ruled by Mercury, it can be even more frustrating.�
You must really be careful of what you say and how you say it.� Words can be misconstrued.� It’s also a bad time to start anything new or sign important contracts or documents.� The exception can be someone who is born with Mercury retrograde�~ it does not affect them as much.� So what can possibly be positive?� Lots!� Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to contact or hear from people from your past!� Rather than solicit new clients, return to your sphere of influence.� Reach out to someone you need to REconcile with.� It’s an awesome time to REconnect.� Go back and FINISH old projects so when the retrograde period is over you can begin new endeavors with a clean slate.� It’s not the best time to get married but how about REmarried?� Rather than plan a trip to some place new, why not REvisit a favorite destination? Different people have different opinions on traveling while Mercury is retrograde.� If it can be avoided, it probably should.� Some plans may have to be REscheduled.� It’s almost impossible to hook up with new people but an excellent time to get together with old friends or plan a REunion!� Just about anything you can put “RE” in front of works.� Refurbish, redo, reconnect etc.� The one exception can be remodeling.� If it’s your first time doing it and contracts are involved, try and wait until after.� Things will have to be REdone!�
Don’t go to a new agency, partner, or job if you can help it.� Try to connect new endeavors with the past if that makes sense.� Also, if you’ve had a dilemma you may now suddenly have an epiphany.� If you’ve been waiting for something or someone to arrive it could happen now!�
We all have the ability to focus on the positive and make the most of trying situations.� Use your energy wisely and constructively.� Rather than branching out in new directions, go down a tried and true path.� Be patient and really cautious with the words you choose and use.� Drive extra carefully. Take time to REview.� Think before you take action as your mind (Mercury) could be playing tricks on you!� Stay as focused as possible and don’t let it run your life.� Did Mercury retrograde bother you BEFORE you knew about it?� We must deal with the past before we head into the future!�� ���
