May Astrological Event: Mercury Retrograde, May 26 - June 19, 2008.
Re-check That Email!
Stall On Signing That Contract!
Don't Buy That New Car! At Least, Not Yet...
Mercury, the planet of communications, the written and
spoken word, and related technology, is retrograde from May 26 until June 19.
This means that Mercury appears as though it is moving backwards to an earth-bound
observer. "Mercury Retrograde" is one of those times that many
non-astrologers, know about... and sometimes shudder at.
What It Means: Communications
and technological mess-ups. Computer snafu's and travel delays. You'll
want to double-check every bit of important written communication you send
out. If possible, delay signing important contracts, sending out major
reports, or making major purchases (especially things like cars and computers)
until after June 19. If
you can't delay, then triple check, cross your fingers, and hope for the best!
What's The Good News? What can you do during Mercury
Retrograde? Research and plan. Revise. Edit.
Problem-solve. Catch up on old stuff. Most important?
Keep a sense of humor. The universe is telling us to slow down and ease
into a different way of communicating for a while. More intuitive, less
linear. There are gifts to be received during Mercury Retrograde, if we
can silence the inner chatter long enough to pay attention.
