People who know just enough astrology to get them
in trouble are always flipping out when the planet
Mercury goes retrograde (Rx). For the most part,
their lives stop for three and a half weeks until
the planet goes direct again. Their Belief
Structure (BS) has gotten them stuck and, sure
enough, they have trouble traveling or making any
commitment when Mercury goes Rx. If you aren’t an
astrologer, you may be wondering what all the fuss
is about. Maybe, people are just superstitious
that they avoid stepping on a crack in the
sidewalk, or believe that breaking a mirror means
seven years of bad luck. We once had a secretary
who would cuss you out if you had a broom touch
her foot. She claimed that that would jinx her
from winning the lotto. The phenomenon of
Retrograde Mercury happens around three times a
year and seems to affect everyone in the same way.
What’s Mercury about, anyway? Mercury, the winged
Roman messenger of the gods, commands us to speak,
hence it affects communication, intellect,
awareness, logic and reasoning, our manner of
thinking, and how we create and express our
thought processes. A Mercurial nature equates to
restlessness, motion, a quick wit, quick thinking,
possibilities, opinions, reasoning and the ability
to rationalize things. Mercurial energy will be
energizing and it rapidly moves from one thing to
the next to get answers on both physical and
psychological levels. Things like speaking,
writing, and learning are all within Mercury’s
domain. When Mercury goes retrograde, our
communications will be challenged. There will be
mechanical breakdowns and disrupted travel plans.
Hold off your moving plans until Mercury goes
direct. A move done in a retrograde Mercury could
be a disaster. Nothing will be settled
successfully during this period – you will find it
nearly impossible to track down your plans, and it
is hard to get others to make decisions. Although
things can be infuriating, there are often good
things, too. It’s a time to reassess, revisit,
re-address, redo, and redesign your plans. Mercury
retrograde allows you to stop, look, and listen.
It can be a good time to reconnect with friends
and relatives.
Here’s how to use Retrograde Mercury to your
advantage:
1. It’s a good time to contact old customers and
clients for they usually like being contacted
under Mercury retrograde.
2. It’s a great opportunity to put your
bookkeeping together and things that you have been
putting off.
3. Straighten all your closets and discard
unwanted stuff.
4. Organize all your taxes.
5. Contact old friends.
6. A Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to
reset your goals, and the Magic Square

Happiness.
