When the planet Mercury goes retrograde (comes closer to the earth) it can cause hiccups with all forms of communication, including planes, trains and automobiles.
- Emails, texts, 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.
- Back up your computer a.s.a.p !
- Finalise all contracts, projects and forms of communication before Mercury goes Retrograde.
- It is not a good time to begin new projects.Wait till after Mercury goes Direct. If you begin a project while Mercury is in Retrograde 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.
