Navigating Life During Mercury Retrograde Since forewarned is forearmed, below is a list featuring some of the most common events that occur during Mercury Retrograde as well as the Shadow periods: Lost and misdirected snail mail Emails disappear into cyberspace Vanishing voicemails Computers crash Internet connections fail SmartPhones are stupid Your order contains the wrong merchandise GPS systems provide wrong directions Travel plans are delayed or interrupted Appliances and cars break down Purchases are defective or missing parts Email and websites are hacked Secrets and confidential information are exposed X-rays and medical tests are inconclusive or need to be retaken Negotiations are difficult and drag on Contracts signed now need to be revised later Jobs we accept work out differently than expected Cars that we lease or purchase turn out to be lemons If you are mindful of the potential pitfalls, you can avoid falling prey to them by mailing important packages by a traceable method, following up on emails and calls, backing up your computer to an external hard drive, double-checking directions, confirming reservations and allowing for extra travel time.Now, just as there are two sides to every story (make that three if you include the truth), below is a list describing activities that are favoured during Mercury Retrograde and the Shadow periods: Reorganize your home or office Review, revise and edit written work Reconnect with people from your past Revisit past ideas, hobbies or interests Discover past errors or oversights Revive projects that were put on hold Reconsider or redefine your goals Review your finances Re-establish your priorities Conduct research and investigations Find out secret or confidential information While the exposure of secret or confidential information is often a negative, especially if it happens to you, it can also be a good thing such as in the case of whistleblowing. Another lesser-known benefit of Mercury Rx, and one I only became aware of in recent years thanks to karmic astrologer Marguerite Manning, is that people show their true colors at this time. So if you’re in doubt about someone’s loyalty or intentions, Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to question them, or at the least, pay attention to their words and actions during this transit.
