Finally, Mercury Retrograde Explained in One Page.
You can use a Mercury retrograde period to plan and strategize. Use it for finishing things you started before Mercury went retrograde.
Once Mercury goes direct, all of these things will move quickly and perfectly.
A Mercury back track is a bad time to start new projects. It's also a bad time to sign anything important.
You should hold off until Mercury goes direct again in the cases of; signing a certificate of matrimony, beginning or taking a job, filing papers to sue someone.
It is also a bad time for purchasing, leasing, or renting a vehicle. Lastly it is really not a good time to go through a surgical procedure.
Mercury retrograde happens three times a year. Planets in retrograde happen in several stages.
The first stage is that, the Planets seem to be still.(When a Planet has been direct and is about to turn retrograde its "stationary" or making a "station".)
The second stage is that, the Planets back up through the zodiac signs.
Third stage is, they stand still again. (When a Planet has been retrograde and is going to turn direct it makes a "station" again.)
Lastly, the Planets start to move forward again going "direct".
The Sun and Moon never go retrograde.
There is a false impression that when Planets are in retrograde, that this means "trouble" at the most and bad luck at the least. It’s easy to see why people think this.
When Mercury retrograde is happening, all things that have to do with; inter-communication, ideas, and instruction, will experience glitches.
Anything used for communicating, will be interrupted. You may not get the call that was supposed to come, then while you’re on the phone, you get disconnected.
Your computer crashes. Negotiations fall apart. You don't attend the closing of the house or the offer for the house you put in is pooh-poohed.
You have a crucial meeting and you lost a significant piece of data.
All in all, Mercury going backwards, brings general misunderstandings and frustrations.
