First, let's define what does Mercury retrograde mean? The planet Mercury rules communication, contracts, paperwork, travel, the mind/thoughts, and ideas. For about 3 weeks at a time, the planet goes backwards which can and often does cause confusion and a bit of chaos in our lives.
When Mercury is retrograde, there are certain areas in our lives that would benefit from taking some time to reflect upon. However, thee are also some things that it would be best to avoid doing.
Don'ts
- Make important decisions
- Sign contracts
- Buy a car
- Begin a new relationship
- Take anything personally at this time
Do's
- Take your time reading paperwork/contracts
- Reflect on your past decisions
- Have back-up plans for travel
- Repair your car
- Re-color your hair
- Review your financial situation
- Give yourself and your space a good clearing
- Release an unhealthy habit
What You Can Expect
- Miscommunication - you may be misunderstood and or you may misinterpret other's words and actions
- Electronics going haywire, computers, telephones, etc.
- Batteries dying
- Angry behavior
- Mistakes
- Getting lost, tardiness
- More accidents
- People from your past may come back into your life
As you can see, there are benefits to the Mercury retrograde cycle. You are being given the opportunity to stop and review your relationships, finances, and the decisions you have made. Your life doesn't have to be put on hold when Mercury is retrograde and sometimes must sign contract or have challenging conversations with others. My advice is to take your time and think before you speak, don't take anything personally, give yourself extra time to get to your destinations and have a few back-up plans in place.
Blessings and Light,
