Yes, it’s that time again, Mercury Retrograde will embark its haywire antics starting November 16th 8:33pm EST/5:33pm PST at 13° Sagittarius and ends on December 6 at 27° Scorpio. It’s also hitching its wagon to a square with Neptune. Not only will you get lost but throw some dazed and confused into the mix along with a huge haze over those rose-colored glasses. Sorry, I just call ’em like I see ’em!
Don’t believe me; just go to your trusty Old Farmer’s Almanac, which stated: this means you can expect travel disruptions, delays of all kinds, long lines, and the increased chance of getting lost. Yes, it’s highly likely that your beloved map app will betray you. This retrograde also brings the potential for cover-ups involving big chemical and drug companies. The role of the media will come under scrutiny AGAIN!
Before I post my Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide, please do REMEMBER that especially during this Holiday Season travel and gift buying should be looked over with a fine-tooth comb or completely avoid if at all possible. Wait till after the 6th of December, or even better after all the dust settles the 11th! Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Here’s your Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide:
DON’TS: (let’s get these out of the way)
- don’t install new software, or decide to completely overhaul your computer (you’re not the Geek Squad) & even if you are, this is NOT the time to do it
- watch your words, this is the time when people tend to “open mouth, insert foot, or whole leg” and for God’s sake; don’t drunk text or FB after doing shots of Tequila, it’s bad enough when we do it without the Retrograde
- double check, triple check, all documents, emails, posts, and appointments, you don’t want to end up in Tijuana, when your friend said Topanga, or if you’re in Ohio, same thing you don’t want to end up stranded in Kinsman when you’re friend is waiting for you in Kirkland
- don’t sign any important contracts or start a new job
- hold off signing on the dotted line for that new house or your new Lincoln
- planes, trains, & automobiles; if at all possible hold off travel, if you must, triple check everything; be extra careful with keys, batteries, tires
- HOLD OFF on trying new daring adventures at this time, if you’ve never climbed Mt. Everest this isn’t the time to decide you’re going to make a name for yourself, (unless you want the headlines to read “first time climber found missing in avalanche)…also don’t throw yourself in front of a train just to prove it’s not your “time” to go, (that’s just called ‘dumb-ass’)
DO’S:
- reassess, redo, relax, rejuvenate, redesign, rethink, reapply, reflect,
- reconnect with old friends from the past, and don’t be surprised if an ex-lover shows up at your door, this is meant for a reason so healing can happen and then the two of you can move forward, (or get back together) however I feel it’s the former
- reorganize your closets, your files
- rewrite that novel you started months ago
- revisit that project you abandoned (I have a few of those)
- something hidden is revealed, be open and aware
THE EXCEPTION:
- If you have a “history” with something then it’s OK to sign the deal on a house you have a history with (you put a bid on it months ago, you babysat the neighbors kids in that house, etc.)
- if you’re old boss (whom you liked) is at a new company & offers you a job
- if you’re in sales, cars, real estate etc. look up former clients you have an established “history” with
- you started building a website & put quite a bit of work into it, then let it sit for months
