The closer the planet is to my sun sign, the more Mercury Retrograde Moments I have.
A MRM (Mercury Retrograde Moment) is when you can't communicate or when your computer gives you the finger. Things like, not being able to open your browser. That's the double whammy because it involves technology AND communication.
Mercury loves technology--it's the computer God. The messenger planet revolves most its focus on technology, I believe, because its our main source of communication. But when that first planet from sun goes "backwards" it seems everything goes haywire!
Think of it this way. Mercury is the IT guy of the solar system. When he's happy, communication runs smooth. When he's frazzled, everything electronic goes wrong. Even your own communication skills sour.
For instance, I've been working on a software program for 9 months now that I know how to work around. For the past week, it's been like a brain fart. It's like I forgot how to open MS Word. It's that ridiculous.
So if Mercury is the IT guy, imagine a really busy nerd on vacation trying to get things done via Skype. You wouldn't want to work on vacation so don't bust his balls. Relax. He goes on several vacations a year, but they're short. He'll be back.
What you can do is back-up your hard-drive and command patience when trying to communicate to others. This will be the time phone conversations will be jumbled and scatter brained drive thru attendants will give you a sprite instead of a coke.
If you're not experiencing this, it's probably because you're dense, you have the patience of a planet, or Mercury is not in your sign.
Here's a great site that tells you if we're in retrograde:
Also, Susan Miller has a great explanation of what to expect during Mercury retrograde here:
So my advice is: Don't travel. Stow away the phone. Back up the computer. Have no expectations of getting your drive thru order correct. And, pray to Mercury when your hard drive fails--just not during retrograde.
