Having a few days of double trouble?
Blame it on the Stars!
by Valerie Greene

Yes, if you noticed since last week that you seem to have to do things over, and over, needing at least a second try to get anything accomplished?

Yes..it is the planet Mercury, in Retrograde again!
That is the planet that rules all form of communication, and when it changes its normal forward direction as it did on Jan 5, 2016 it brings that annoying problem of delays and mistakes with our communicating.

Mercury does this to us about three time in a year. Each time giving us a time period when communicating will be impacting in your life, more than usual!

Some seeming to appear aggravating, and costly...but some in ways that can be very beneficial?

Which one for you depends on your birth planets...and where Mercury is in sign, when it retrogrades?

And this time period it is in fact, out of the norm?

First because it had just entered the unique freedom loving sign of Aquarius on Jan. 2, this new year! . And coming from the more conservative sign of Capricorn, it gave us all needed lift.

That is until it started back tracking in retrograde in Jan 5... then landing again in sober Capricorn this past weekend.

All of which is why you are now suddenly more practical minded most likely doing things that involve your past...and important planning around your future?

The good side of Mercury in retrograde, as it now is, in Capricorn, can help your practical mind dig out helpful details from your past that can impact your future security!

Especially if they are concerns, or have ties to past dealings?

You see Mercury in retrograde gives us another chance at something that we have left unfinished!

A time of repairs? A time of reunions? Bumping into or hearing from an old friend? All a way to bring your past dealings up front again thanks to the Planet Mercury?

The difficult side of Mercury now? Is likely to be those snarled traffic jams... those do overs... the car troubles, the broken appliances and feeling a bit more reserved and drained and misunderstood! 

Patience everyone! Mercury will go back in direct motion on Jan. 25, 2016...when we will again first feel like we are going forward again too!
