Mercury in Retrograde

Mercury went into “retrograde” for the 3^rd time this year on the 21^st of October and will remain there for about three weeks.  When in retrograde the planet appears to be moving backwards in its orbit.  In astrology Mercury is known as the ruler of communication, transportation and decision making.  When it goes into retrograde these things can be “thrown off”.   Therefore, instead of feeling frustration for the traffic or stress about making a decision, let yourself venture into the realm of “re’s”; re-vising, re-viewing, re-newing, re-pairing, re-booting and re-doing.  This can be our opportunity to reflect and slow down.
