2007 MERCURY RETROGRADE PERIODS

2007 Mercury Retrograde Periods

What is Mercury Retrograde? About every three months, Mercury slows down in its orbit around the Sun and appears to be moving backwards. Astrologers refer to the transit as, "Mercury Retrograde". This phenomenon occurs three times in 2007. During Mercury Retrograde Periods, all communications and transportation are negatively affected, i.e., regrettable decisions, misunderstandings, arguments, delays, and accidents.

While Mercury is Retrograde, it is not the best time for major purchases of new items, i.e., homes, autos, boats, computers, etc., because these items are usually financed and/or require signing a contract. Signing a contract during Mercury Retrograde can bring regrets stemming from something said or written that is misunderstood or misrepresented. It is the best time to purchase antiques, resale homes, or used items.

Because of the increased possibility of accidents, changes in schedules, and lost luggage, it is best not to travel during Mercury Retrograde periods, not to mention the fact that you won't enjoy the trip. For research purposes, I have years of experience traveling during Mercury Retrograde periods. The venture was always a disappointment!

Mercury Retrograde affects everyone in some way. However, the sign that experiences more difficulty than most is the sign that Mercury is moving through during its retrograde period. Also affected are Gemini and Virgo Sun Signs; and people with natal planets in Gemini or Virgo because Mercury is the natural ruler of these two signs.

The best action to take during a Mercury Retrograde period is to spend time reviewing your decisions and actions during the months prior. It is not the time to go forward with new plans or goals. It is the time to "re-view" what is happening in your life and make necessary course corrections or changes. A good rule to remember is, any word you can put "re" in front of and have it make sense, then do it; examples: reevaluate, repair, rethink, rewrite, replace, reschedule, revise, redecorate, review, etc.
