So Mercury has been 'fully' retrograde since 3:31PM EST yesterday (1/28) ...have any stories to share yet?
The Moon left Libra for the deep waters of Scorpio at 4:35AM today....So we've got 3 planets in Aquarius, 3 planets in Capricorn and then 1 each in Gemini, Virgo and Pisces, plus the Moon in Scorpio thru Thursday. That all adds up to 4 in Earth signs and 4 in Air signs, and 2 in Water, with nothing in Fire until the Moon finishes Scorpio and enters Sagittarius.
This gives us the enery can help us be grounded with our thoughts and contain our feelings in a way that can be productive and thoughtful...so write down your thoughts and feelings for future reference! With Mercury retrograde thru 2/18, it doesn't mean talk and babble everything that's coming into your head. It's go within time to let those ideas incubate - not tell the world right now!! Aren't you glad you're not running for office at the moment???
OH, and looking ahead a little ...we do have Eclipses coming in February - Solar Eclipse on 2/6 and Lunar Eclipse on 2/20....check back frequently for more thougths/info on those AND watch for info on Class on these Eclipses in early March.
And in the meantime feel free to share the ways Mercury retrograde is 'rearranging' things for you...just click Add Comment below. Thank you!! Blessings~ **A**

I don't know what is going on, but everything that is mechanical broke on me yesterday. Cell phones wouldn't charge, my transmission went out on my phone, my laptop wouldn't work on the wireless network AND I messed up the copiers and printers at KINKO's. YIKES!

That's textbook Mercury retrograde! From cars to communication (including devices) - this is the time that, often unbeknownst to the owner, these things that have had a 'problem' will no longer limp along...it's all part of the 'assignment' to go back over what we've been doing and rethink them. If a car or computer 'breaks down' it often is an issue that's been there for a while, sometimes hidden, sometimes overlooked. AND this time it's in Aquarius which rules technology so that adds another reason that all our modern tools of technology could be giving us reasons to rethink how and what we're doing!! Hope it helps to know you're not alone!! Thanks for sharing!! **A**

I have been having problems with my palm phone since I purchased it in Feb.2007. Yesterday, while driving by a Verizon store, the phone froze up again, so I turned right in, went into the store & showed them what was happening- they FINALLY said they would "Re"place the phone at no charge and it would be here in 48 hrs... my question. Will the new phone, received during a merc. in retrograde, have issues? Another question: I have heard that it is not wise to sign contracts/start a new job, etc. during a mercury in retrograde. If a person sends in their applications, but does not accept a position/ sign any documents, is this ok? Thank you!

Great questions. I am looking at February 2007 in the ephemeris and I'm not surprised to see that Mercury was retrograde from Feb 13 thru Mar 8, 2007. So it was either retrograde, or in the 'preview zone', when you bought the phone and you can see how well that turned out!! And yes, you do run a risk of having issues with the new one......if it was me, I'd likely try to wait it and out replace in March after the New Moon - say 3/8 or 3/9 if at all possible. But if that's not doable, then get the new one but report RIGHT AWAY to them ANY issues that come up...and READ the contract very well...sometimes the item will be ok but the 'fine print' will mess you up!
I would also try to avoid sending in applications/paperword for any new position while Mercury is retrograde, or even in the preview zone....as it could get lost, go to wrong place, and/or not be what you think it's going to be......OR the company won't have their act together anyway...
Hope that helps....and check previous posts and past Celestial Gazettes for more information on what to do, and what not to do, during Mercury retrograde cycles. Blessings~ **A**

Well, Mecury Retrograde at its finest.
2 days ago the tire on our car all of a sudden became defective. The tire company put a spare on it until the replacement gets here.
Every appointment scheduled gets rescheduled and then rescheduled (with existing clients).
And then when I do have an appointment with a client it ends up being 4 meetings instead of one to get the work done. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!
I can't wait for February 18th. I am only working with existing clients and not going after any new work until after the 18th. And only am working with people who ask for my help currently.
I am getting a lot of organizing completed with my papers. And cleaning house though which is good. Mentally preparing for lots of implementing of new ideas after February 18th!
Hugs,
Kerry

At least you know 'why' it's happening, Kerry, eh?
