Mercury retrograde is regarded as being a pesky annoyance of an astrological transit. That's usually the reaction to the raft of technological and communication glitches that occur when this planet flips into reverse motion. When I discuss it with friends, they'll joke about being in a restaurant, and the waitress bringing the wrong order, or waiting for that phone call that never comes, etc. I remember once losing my watch during a retro phase. It had fallen into a hole in my jacket pocket lining!! People experiencing frustrations in their day-to-day life will sometimes phone me and ask in frustration "Is Mercury retrograde by any chance!" Yeps, it usually is.
Now, let's not be all down on poor Mercury. He has to do his thing. Stuff happens for a reason. Usually, it is a message for us to slow down! These periods are a good time for introspection and reflection. Because Mercury has just switched into the very creative sign of Pisces, maybe we need to evaluate ways of expressing ourselves. It is a great time to journal, or take up painting, in an effort to express yourself.
It is important to look at the sign that Mercury is in, and then reflect on how you can use this time to your advantage. Pisces is also a deeply spiritual sign, so maybe this could also be a good time for you to think about your life, and where you are heading. You may wish to develop your spirituality...For Catholics, the period of Lent is almost upon us. This is a 40 day period of abstinence and spiritual contemplation - what I call 'the desert period' before the onset of Easter, and all its accompanying sunshine and joy.
These are just some suggestions on how you can use this time to your advantage.
