New Moon and Mercury Direct

We made it through another moon cycle and Mercury will go direct tomorrow morning (finally!), woo-hoo, everyone take a bow, take a breath, wheeeew...



I dunno about you, but feels like I am always freaking out about stuff during Mercury Retrograde times, and this latest one had all sorts of things out of whack (or so it seemed) as far as technology weirdness and all kinds of miscommunications and such. I've always been surrounded by folks who know a lot more about astrological matters than I do, so I tend to listen to their advice when it comes to things like this, and over time I have really started to see certain patterns that do make sense (in as much as anything really "makes sense", of course!)

Here's a handy little chart I found to keep around for future 2005 Mercury Retrogrades:

2005 Planet and Mercury Retrogrades

ASTRO TIP:

When Mercury is Direct
Communicate: A good time to write important letters, sign contracts, express yourself, buy a car, get your car serviced, publish, advertise, make important phone calls, plan or take a trip.

When Mercury is Retrograde
Use an extra dose of clarity, caution and care pertaining to travel, especially by car, communications of any kind, contracts, sending letters and publishing.
If you can avoid the above until the retrograde period ends that's even better.

(Calculated for time zone 5 hours)
