It is that time of the year again when mercury, the planet that rules all types of communication appears to be motioning backward along its orbit . When Mercury is Retrograde, anything related to communication such as technology, electronics, plans, emails, contracts, schedules and like may go haywire. Emotions such as confusion and frustration are heightened and your life might seem like its falling apart. While there is that usual stigma associated with mercury retrograde season, there are a lot of positive aspects we can benefit from this cosmic event. This time of the year, we are reminded to slow down, pay attention to details and stay grounded. It is an excellent time to review and reflect on where you are focusing your energies on. Ar you overextendeding yourself in a particular area in life? Is there something that needs your attention and priority?
