It Is In The Stars! By Valerie Greene

 

 

Are you ready?  Soon it will be, what I call "double trouble time", again!

 Yes, the planet Mercury is slowing down getting ready to go retrograde! When will it start this backward track again?

 April 28, 2016 at 1:20 p.m. EDT

Does the planet Mercury's motion in space really go backwards? No! But to our earth's view, of Mercury's motion it does! Effecting our earth communications! All forms of travel. Moving machine parts. And our common thought process.(Thinking) Bringing those areas of our life, into a challenging focus, with Mercury retrograde about three times a year?

Why does this happen? What would be the positive of Mercury being retrograde? And why do I call it, "the time of double trouble"?

My belief is, that it purpose being retrograde three times in a year, is to help us go back in areas of our life that we have left unfinished. That is why appliances that have been neglected or not repaired correctly will fail during retrograde. Along with why the poorly made communications and decisions will come back to hunt us. And also why many old friendship can seem to come out of the blue and be restored. All of that though somewhat aggravating, it gives us a chance to set things straight! 

On the negative double trouble? I call it that, because where Mercury rules our thoughts and how we communicate them! As it changes direction from our earth's view. It seems to make us more absent minded, confused, with bad judgment, clogging up our highways, both on the roads and with our daily work, and business. Which makes for many do overs! Including why you may feel that you suddenly need to give everything involving communication, or travel plans, a second try? And even small decisions,  doing them over, and over again? 

So yes, it can be a trying aggravating about three week span? With some nice surprises thrown in. 

However, the most important advice that I can give you, from April 28,  to May, 21, would be to put off any major decisions if you can? Because planet Mercury retrograde, is very likely going to mess things up enough, that you will indeed, need to change your mind! 

 Then, Yay, on May 22, 2016, at 9:19 a.m. Mercury will again start its normal forward motion.

 But keep in mind it takes a few days for its new direction to settle us all down to our own normal pace. And not into a complete forward new direction for us all... until June, 7, 2016. So be patient!

And in the mean time, try to use this time to go back in areas of your life that was left unfinished, making the most of what Mercury in retrograde has to offer!

That is true for all sun signs, bust most importantly for the sign of Taurus!

As Mercury has been in Taurus, and then being retrograde in that sign, will have a longer stay, than usual! Effecting, that sign in a greater way, from April, 6 through June 12.

If your sign is Taurus, try to Enjoy, and make the most of it!
