Mercury Retrograde
Mercury has to do with our thought process
and thinking ability. It has a great deal to do with our communication
techniques and our ability to create ideas and formulate action through the
thought process.
Mercury goes retrograde three or four
times a year, with interludes every four months (approximate). Its
retrograde cycle is approximately three weeks in length. During its
retrograde cycle, it appears to move backwards in the heavens between 10 to 15
degrees. This is a period when we would be wise to sit back and review
what has taken place recently before pushing ahead with our goals. This
is a time of analytical analyses before we move ahead. Careful study is
advised and then when Mercury goes direct, we can move ahead with our
endeavors.
If by chance we have no choice but to
proceed with a project under the influence of Mercury’s retrograde cycle, we
can usually expect some delays or obstructions along the way.
