Mercury the Messenger

We are currently under the planetary influence of a Mercury Retrograde, which is in the sign of Virgo and goes into effect on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 and ends on Friday, August 26, 2011.

Astrologists alert us to the dangers and mishaps that occur when Mercury goes retrograde including problems with electronics and communications in all forms. They warn us not to purchase computers, cars or washing machines during this period and to delay signing contracts or forming new partnerships.  Mishaps attributed to Mercury going retrograde include: bad haircuts, botched plastic surgeries, an increase in arguments with loved ones and co-workers due to misunderstanding what others are saying, computer hard drives and other electronics and machines breaking down or dying completely, travel delays and lost reservations. According to western astrologists, during a retrograde any type of communication is challenged and machines tend to break down more often than any other time of the year.

I’m not doubting this information, I’ve seen it occur first hand and lost count of how many times I’ve watched businesses attempt upgrades and buy equipment during retrograde periods where I thought to myself, if only they had consulted an astrologer, how much easier this might have gone for them. It’s also not surprising to see the heightened conflict and communication issues between President Obama and the GOP during this retrograde.

What I am saying though, is while good old Merc causes his share of trouble when he goes retro, he also brings a wealth of opportunities. If you understand how the retrograde works, you can use this information to your advantage.

When a retrograde occurs, the effects begin a week before the actual date, so in this case, you’ve already been affected by this astrological cycle since Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Retrogrades bring opportunities to reconnect, revisit, revise, review, reveal, and renew. If there’s someone you’ve been trying to connect with and have been unable to do so, you may find that they appear in your life at this time. If you have an unresolved issue, it may come to an end during this period or the missing information needed to bring closure to this matter reappears. It’s a powerful time to review your life and reconsider some of the decisions you’ve made in the past and resolve to change your life in the future. Just wait until the retrograde is over to take action and make clear decisions and for heaven’s sake, (astrologically speaking) don’t sign any contracts. For now, it’s time to reflect upon your life in a creative, free-flowing, brain storming type of direction.

Mercury retrogrades create the opportunity to relax and renew. It’s a great time to take a break this coming weekend and do something fun and get away. Just make sure to double check those reservations and have your car checked before you hit the road and the rest should be smooth sailing.

Yes, that’s right, for all you astrology followers out there, I said it, Embrace the upcoming Mercury Retrograde, which goes into effect on Friday, August 20th and ends on Sunday, September 12th, 2010.

So the next time you hear about a retrograde coming, mark your calendar so you avoid buying electronics during that period and double check all communications, including taking a deep breath and thinking twice before you blurt your feelings out loud and say something you might regret later. Use this time wisely to relax, unwind and enjoy some quiet time to review the path you’re on and where you’re heading next.
