Mercury Retrograde Monday

It is that time again when the planet Mercury appears to go backwards. It starts today and goes through August 1. Mercury,the god, in astrology rules communications, business and travel. What does this mean for you: travel delays, mail gets mislaid, miscommunication might crop more,your electronics go haywire, missing buses and trains, etc.



What to do? This is what I do.

* Plan to leave for appointments earlier than usual.

* Double check the time, day for any dates or appointments.

* Be patient with family and friends. It takes two to make an argument.

* Get extra sleep or plan loafing time.

* Go to your closets and get rid of old clothes, shoes, makeup, medicine, etc.

* Go through old creative unfinished projects. Pick one or two to complete.

* Reach out to old friends or family you haven't talked to that you like to see.
