Mercury retrograde: February 14 - March 8, 2007
The planet Mercury, named after the wing-footed Roman god of "communications, commerce, and everyday routines," seldom gets much attention in astrology. That is... he seldom gets much attention until those times each year (3 to 4 times) when he briefly turns "retrograde" in the transiting (moving) sky.
The traditional astrological meaning assigned to Mercury going "retrograde" in the sky is that one should prepare for and gird themselves for unexpected delays, frustrations, and surprises in everyday life. This includes everyday routines in commerce, commuting back and forth to work, and in one's communications.
During the (very) approximate 24 day periods when Mercury turns "retrograde" in the sky, in the area of commerce, astrologers generally recommend delaying of the signing contracts and other important life decisions. It is a period of time thought to be better spent in reflection and in the rethinking of things.
Yes, yes, and again, yes. Holy smokes. Aside from all of the difficulty that people seem to be having communicating clearly at the moment, the printer behind me failed to work this morning, then began to work again. Not a half hour later, the fax stopped working, and the three lights above my desk all blew at the same time (interesting, as a similar thing happened in my house yesterday). When I was saying that flourescent lighting gives me a headache, this is not exactly the solution I was proposing, universe.
Fascinating how I have a sculptural reduction sitting on my desk, ready to be packed out and shipped. What is it? Wing-footed Mercury made of acrylic.
