The last time Mercury went retrograde – it was so not good for my household.
*noting dates on calendar, now*
It’s not all bad. Though communication and travel tend to be chaotic and frustrating, I try to look at the bright side of Mercury retrograde. While I don’t start new projects, sign contracts, or buy anything electrical if I can help it, I do clean up, clear out, fix, repair, back-up, reflect, finish, and plan during these times.
If I think an event or situation is calamitous, I try to take a “wait-and-see” attitude. Often, those terrible things have a way of working out for good.
And occasionally, good people and things we thought were lost to us have a way of coming back during Mercury retrograde.
Yay! Excuses! I *love* excuses!
