Mercury Retrograde scoops:
As always, awareness is key and can help alleviate stress and tension. Allowing more time for tasks and travel will help, as will simplifying routines and adjusting expectations of yourself and others.
A Mercury Retrograde Cycle is neither intrinsically good nor bad. It’s a 3 week cycle that occurs 3-4 times a year. During this period of time the planet Mercury appears to move backwards from the Earth’s vantage point.
Since Mercury appears to be retracing its path through the heavens, it can be beneficial to revisit, review, rethink where we have been — It’s a great time to have a personal, intuitive reading to support your process of reviewing and reflecting and preparing for what’s next!
Matters related to Mercury’s domain (information, communications, travel and exchange -including commerce) can be heightened and challenged in ways that make it hard for them to move forward smoothly. Often, perspective is lacking, needed information is missing, important details could be over-looked and delays, glitches or breakdowns occur.
Mercury retrograde cycles often correspond with unclear or frustrated communications and travel delays. Paying extra attention to details and allowing extra time for travel, meetings, errands and commitments can help decrease the stress of any snafus. Prioritizing one’s serenity can help in gauging when to walk away from an argument.
Issues or people from the past have an uncanny way of showing up during Mercury retrograde cycles. Sometimes it’s useful to get another look at something that once was vexing to see how far we’ve come, but getting re-involved with the old dynamics, people and situations is likely to yield the same result as before.
Mercury retrogrades can also reflect upsets with your instruments of communication and travel. Cars, computers, phones, appliances might act up or break down completely. If you travel, allow extra time and reconfirm your reservations. Consider going somewhere you’ve already been.
Mercury retrograde cycles are not considered ideal times to launch new communications or initiatives, sign contracts or make major purchases. Some people prefer to postpone those types of activities until after the retrograde whenever possible in order to minimize the potential for miscues, glitches and revisions. However, it’s usually considered a great time to go through files, correspondence and clutter to clear them out.
