The Truth About Mercury Retrograde

http://www.astrologychick.com

Astrologer Aura Galadriel Wright discusses and demystifies Mercury Retrograde.

A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. According to modern science, this traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth, with relation to other planets in our solar system (like mercury). Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way, due to this cosmic shadow-play.

In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce, education and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially people who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, teachers, travellers, tricksters and thieves.

Mercury retrograde seems to give rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray, or awry.

Discover if the myth is true that it is not wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is very likely that these decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking (or will they?). Make sure you pay attention to the small print!

It works great with marketing when you want to be sure to get a response from an ad.

you are going to hell for your blasphemie

[astrologychick]

U R crazy. The bible talks all about the Maziroth - which literally means the Zodiac and the 12 signs. The wisemen who discovered the birth of jesus were Astrologers (and I practice the same kind of Astrology as they did).

BTW - You're going to hell first for misspelling blasphemy.

@astrologychick if you go to hell for bad spelling, i feel sorry for all the dyslexia people :( poor buggers will never see it coming!

[astrologychick]

@DanDaviesxD Well, if Dyslexia means going to hell, at least the road signs will be interesting!

I'm Bisexual (Or I Think I Am) ... But i find that when Mercury's going reverse i do the female more .... I'm a male - Can you add to this ?

[astrologychick]

Astrology can't really predict sexual preference, BUT Mercury is the ruler of all things fluctuating and without a clear sense of principle. Retrograde Mercury often brings back people from the past.

Mercury also rules the ways we THINK we want things to go - which may have nothing to do with what we NEED. When he is retrograde we need to look inwards and find what we are really about inside. Look at your Moon to see what your real needs are.

ya know, if heaven is going to be filled with doucehbags that can't spell something they live by and want to hassle people then I would rather stay where it's warmer, thanks.

@astrologychick I don't know about that... there is a theory about Venus and Uranus in hard aspects having some connection with homosexuality. Plus having an Air sign dominence. Mars in Gemini or Venus in Aquarius for example.

[cathymac91]

[amazingness818]

you are so amazing! when you said that if you want to start something that you want the energy to return, you will do it right before the retrograde....omgg! that's exactly what I did yesterday, before 4 pm when the mercury retrograde started, however i might have gone a little past 4 pm in this whole affair of starting something, hopefully it still counts thoughh :) i'm sure it will
