Mercury in Retrograde Ahead – August 30 – September 22, 2016

The last time Mercury was in retrograde — let’s just say I knew it would be bad; but never did I expect what a roller coaster ride I was in for…   It wasn’t just Mercury that was in retrograde, it was 5 planets.   This made some sense to me when I saw it:

Mercury will be retrograde in one zodiacal sign or the other, and those whose Sun, Mercury, Moon, or Ascendant in that sign will be seriously affected by the Mercury Retrograde cycle of the sign.

Mercury will be retrograde in one zodiacal sign or the other, and those whose Sun, Mercury, Moon, or Ascendant in that sign will be seriously affected by the Mercury Retrograde cycle of the sign.

So heading into this time…  You may want to:

  • Finish major projects before the start of the retrograde period
