I have a cutie-patootie brother. Actually I have two “as cute as they can be” brothers. Each in their own right.

But any way. This is my oldest bro.

The other day… he told me that Mercury was in Retrograde. Now I need Astrology for Dummies to understand these things.

He briefly explained that…. When Mercury starts turning in an apparent backward motion, we will start to feel the effects of this event days or even as far as two weeks earlier. When the planet normalizes we will see the tempo of events pick up in our lives as the planet becomes “stationary” and then speeds forward.

But in the meantime… while it is Wigging Out….. apparently… SO ARE WE.

Communication of all sorts becomes haphazardly.

Well right now… mine stinks. I have written three different pieces tonight, and trashed them all.  The first on the ding dong lawyer who is suing the groundhog.  The second on Matilda Gage.  And the third on effects of pollution.  You see.  I am stumped. Stymied. Stagnant.

So… tonight. I give your Mercury in Retrograde and nothing else.

But just so you know… here are some other things to watch for. When Mercury retrogrades…… “You miss appointments, your computer equipment crashes, checks get lost, you find the car you just purchased during Mercury retrograde is a lemon. (Or, you hate your haircut, the lamp you bought shorts out, your sister hates her birthday gift.) There will be countless delays, cancellations and postponements.”  The crap hits the proverbial fan.

Apparently…. somehow…. all these things will benefit you in the long run. The Astrology Guru’s say “Don’t fight them, although your frustration level and feeling of restlessness will be hard to cope with at times.”

Bet me.

Mercury in Retrograde Sucks. As plain as the planet in your space. Or the nose on your face.
Heck. I can’t even get that right.

Call me……  I think.

Or maybe don’t.
