Mercury Retrograde = delays, frustrations and misunderstandings

The planet Mercury will go retrograde for approximately 2 weeks from the 27th December 2009 till 16 January 2010 causing hiccups with all forms of communication, including planes, trains and automobiles.

Emails, text & phone messages, letters and contracts can disappear, leaving you wondering what is going on, and why people have not got back to you. Anything mailed can also go astray.
Computers can slow down at this time due to system errors, or crash.
You may experience problems with your internet or phone connection.
Plane, train, bus, and tram schedules can go out the window .. so expect delays.
Your car may start running a bit rough during Mercury Retrograde. In peak hour, there may be an increase in car breakdowns and traffic light malfunctions causing lengthy delays.

My Advice

Back up your computer before the 27th December!
Finalise all contracts, projects and forms of communication before the 27th.
It is not a good time to begin new projects. It's best to wait till after 16 January 2010 when Mercury will go Direct. Mercury Direct means Mercury will be moving forward again. If you begin a project while Mercury is in Retrograde (reverse) expect the project to be frustratingly slow and problematic.
If you are in the middle of negotiations, allow for delays, and misunderstandings. Keep a copy of everything which is sent, in case it has to be sent again. Don't schedule tight deadlines ... factor in delays!
Before going on holidays or business travel, double check all documents and schedules before you leave. Allow plenty of time to get to the airport. Allow plenty of time to transfer between flights.
Most important .... relax and go with the flow. Now you know this two week period can be frustrating, you can prepare yourself for the influence this planet has on our daily lives.

Mercury Retrograde is often referred to as the Trickster!

As Mercury Retrogrades three times a year for approximately three weeks, I will update you when Mercury Retrogrades again next year on Twitter , My Blog or my Feng Shui Newsletter. I will be sending out my Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology forecast for 2010 in January, so subscribe to my Newsletter at www.sacredfengshuidesign.com.au

Merry Christmas everyone ... Carol
