Mercury Retrograde

Mercury enters its retrograde period Saturday, December 26, 2009 and continues retrograde until Friday, January 15, 2010. It is best to avoid beginning new projects or signing important papers while Mercury is retrograde. Things have a way of turning out different than expected. Indecision and changes in plans rule the day. Expect disruption of communication, transportation and matters involving business and the exchange of goods. This period is good for research, revising, editing and completion of projects started before the retrograde period began. Geminis and Virgos often have a difficult time getting organized and making decisions. Things that get held up now or reach an impasse will move along once Mercury goes direct. It is best to remain flexible during these periods. Try and maintain the ability to adjust your schedule if need be. Check your appointment book to be sure you have the right time and place recorded. A quick phone call or email to confirm often saves the day.
