TIPS ON SURVIVING MERCURY RETROGRADE
In Astrology, the planet Mercury rules communications, computers, mail, business, traffic flow, contracts, and negotiations of all kinds. Mercury goes Retrograde about three times a year, for approximately three weeks at a time. When Mercury goes Retrograde, people get their wires crossed. Misunderstandings are more likely than at other times. These glitches can be small annoyances that eventually get worked out, or they can cause permanent breakdowns in relationships. Here are six failsafe tips on surviving Mercury Retrograde. Survival Tip #1: Don’t sign contracts or any other important agreement papers while Mercury is Retrograde. Survival Tip #2: Back up your computer files well before Mercury goes Retrograde (at least one week before), and back up regularly while Mercury is in reverse. Survival Tip #3: It’s best not to travel while Mercury is Retrograde. But if you can’t avoid it, confirm your airline and hotel reservations, and get to the airport in plenty of time to clear security. Survival Tip #4: Be extra mindful of how you’re using your words. You can be hurtful without realizing it. Be as clear in your communications as possible. Be explicit about what you want and need. Survival Tip #5: Don’t automatically take offense by something you think you heard. There’s a good possibility you misunderstood either the actual words or their intent. And don’t blame others if they misunderstand you. You might think you were perfectly clear, and yet the other person might have rightfully understood something entirely different. Survival Tip #6: Even if a mistake technically was someone else’s fault, forgive and forget. Otherwise intelligent people say and do stupid things while Mercury is Retrograde. Keep in mind that certain activities are favored under Mercury’s Retrograde influence: editing, rewriting, revising, reviewing, research – just about anything that starts with “re.” In some cases, you’ll be forced to redo work, but you can plan it that way, too, with very satisfactory results. Catching up on correspondence and paperwork is also more efficient while Mercury is Retrograde, provided you don’t commit to anything in writing. It's also a fantastic time to clean out the clutter in those file cabinets and closets. Above all, maintain a sense of humor!
