I see a note on my calendar that says "Merc Retro." This is my shorthand for Mercury Retrograde. It is an astrological term that refers to the illusion that the planet Mercury is going backwards, instead of forward in it's orbit. Actually, I believe the Earth is just passing Mercury; thus, there is the illusion of Mercury going backwards. This typically happens three or four times a year.
In astrology Mercury may be associated with communications and transportation. Mercury retrograde may be a negative indicator for issues relating to communication and transportation. For example, negotiations may not go smoothly, communications may be delayed, the check in the mail may be lost, there may be misunderstandings, etc. Your flight may be delayed, but that could happen any day. Some astrologers suggest you not sign contracts if you can avoid it during Mercury retrograde. On the other hand, things that were previously lost or delayed may show up now to be completed. For example, a lost object may be found, or an unfinished project may surface for completion. Some say it is a good time to clean out closets. Hint.
Mercury retrograde ends August 26 this year. I don't know whether all this astrology stuff is the real deal or just a bunch of bull (sorry Taurus), but I plan to play it safe.
Going to clean out a closet,
