Mercury Retrograde: How To Survive the Next 3 Weeks of Craziness!

Get ready for the cosmic “trickster,” known as Mercury retrograde. This planetary event will occur from June 7 to July 1st.
It’s a time to be careful about the way you operate your life in order to avoid a variety of problems that tend to occur during these three weeks. During the retrograde period the world seems to go haywire with miscommunications of all types.

Mercury rules your intelligence, mind, memory and all types of communication ranging from talking and texting to writing. It also rules your self-expression and communication style. In a more public sense, it rules commerce, computers, telephones, transportation and air travel.

When Mercury goes retrograde, communications of all types go “haywire!” Under this planetary influence, you’ll experience misunderstandings and communication failures like you've never seen. Here is just a sampling of some of the things that may go wrong in your life at this time: For example, no matter how well you and your spouse normally communicate, you will find yourself misspeaking, saying the wrong thing and having disagreements you don’t normally have.
At work, even though you are sure that you've explained yourself clearly to the other person, they do the opposite of what you said—and they are sure they followed your instructions. Your fail-proof computer crashes, or software programs suddenly develop “glitches.” You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types. You’ll hearken back to the time you heard your car’s engine make that funny noise, causing you to say: “I should have my mechanic check that out.” Well, during Mercury retrograde, that is when your car will suddenly not work and you’ll wish you had paid a visit to the mechanic.
The monthly check that is automatically generated by your bank and sent out doesn’t arrive, and neither does that merchandise you ordered online. Since Mercury rules transportation, equipment is unreliable; so it’s not an ideal time to buy a car because it may be a “lemon.” In fact, it’s a bad time to buy anything because you may eventually find out that it was “too big or too small,” or it just didn’t fit right and you’ll need to return it. You can expect an unusual amount of last-minute flight cancellations, meeting postponements and long transportation delays.
It is a horrible time for negotiating contracts or making decisions and if you “close the sale” during Mercury retrograde, suddenly, a few days later the client may call back to tell you that he’s changed his mind.
Whatever you do—it is not a good idea to accept a job during Mercury retrograde. During Mercury retrograde, things are not what they seem to be.
Here is a checklist of things not to do during Mercury retrograde.
The Eight Don’ts
1. Don’t Argue with Lovers, Friends or Co-Workers—Especially the Boss.
2. Don’t Start a New Project.
3. Don’t Make a Commitment or Sign an Agreement.
4. Don’t Purchase Computers or Install Software.
5. Don’t Make an Offer on a New Home or Sign the Documents to Buy One.
6. Don’t Buy a Car.
7. Don’t Accept or Start a Job.
8. Avoid Unnecessary Travel.

Your actions and decisions during the retrograde often fail or seem “sabotaged.” Or you may find that they will have to be re-done, re-structured or adjusted in some way when the retrograde period ends and Mercury goes direct.
The Best Advice: Wait until Mercury goes direct to make important decisions. When that happens clearer communication will return and necessary information will be more positively conveyed. Once again, important data can again be relied on and you’ll see matters with 20/20 vision.
Also, by waiting until Mercury is direct, you will possess important information that you did not know while Mercury was retrograde. This new knowledge will help ensure you are making a correct decision. If you heed this cautionary advice, you’ll have less frustration, fewer mistakes and disappointing failures during these three weeks. Best of all, you’ll be in a better position to make your efforts successful starting July 1, 2014 when Mercury goes direct.
