As you may already be aware, the planet Mercury is in its “Retrograde” phase (May 19 – June 11). I am a believer in the planets and what happens up above translates to us below. I previously wrote a Mercury Retrograde post in 2013, which you can view here.
This is a time for reflection. It’s a time for re-birth, re-connect, revise, re-visit, re-design, re-vamp (you get the picture). It’s a time to get in touch with previous co-workers and past clients… go back into your past and see what you missed. If you prepare for what this time will bring then you can’t be surprised with events as they happen.
Here are some tips to avoid issues during this time.
- Be super clear on your communication (with others and with yourself) and closely follow-up with important details.
- Be mindful of accidents or falls – be aware of your surroundings.
- Delay big purchases (house, car, etc), especially anything involving transportation.
- Hold off on purchasing electronics.
- Avoid signing contracts if you can help it.
- Minimize travel, or at least add extra travel time to all trips. Bring a book!
- Hold off on starting a new project.
- Journal your thoughts and your to-do list.
Use this time as reminder to slow down. As Ferris Bueller once said: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
