MERCURY RETROGRADE

Mercury goes retrograde about three times a year for approx three weeks

During these times you should expect delays in travel, communication or arrangements

Transport could break down, or be subject to delays

You need to be very careful before signing legal papers during this time and if in doubt "don't"

During the three week period that Mercury goes retrograde you should avoid buying electrical appliances because they are more likely to go wrong

Appointments and arrangements could get mixed up, postponed or delayed

Be careful what you are saying as wires could get crossed or people could take you the wrong way

Problems could effect telephones, televisions, computers, faxes and the media -

Don't start anything new if it can be avoided

Relationships that have been difficult could be sorted out during this period

If you are owed money this could be a good time to sort it out

(a late unpaid dismissal award - see Poetic Justice was eventually paid when Mercury was retrograde)

Mercury rules Gemini's and Virgo's so they could be particularly effected
