knock knock! who's there? Mercury!

knock knock! who’s there? Mercury! Mercury who? Oh wait… I know who, you are here!  you have arrived on our collective doorsteps in all your messy glory. you are my dreaded but oh so regular house-guest. staggering in my door, kicking over the furniture, leaving crumbs all over my couch & hogging my ever so small bathroom. then, as quickly as you appear, you disappear again, leaving me slightly stunned but much better equipped to continue with my life!
if you have no idea what i’m talking about, let me fill you in… the planets are swinging around us at all times, & their movements affect us all in different ways. all planets go retrograde, but Mercury’s journey seems to impact people much more than any other. why is that you ask? it’s because Mercury rules communication, clear thinking, truth & travel, so when it goes retrograde—which means that it looks like it’s going backwards in the sky—all those things go backwards. They start to get ugly & tangle up. Mercury isn’t really going backwards, it’s just hanging out by the sun, but from Earth, that makes it look like it’s in reverse.


In 2011, Mercury is in retrograde from…
March 30th to April 23rd
August 3rd to August 18th
November 25th to December 14th
