Mercury Retrograde

Has anyone else been noticing more computer, internet, travel, or general communication issues of late?

Mercury Retrograde refers to the 3 or 4 times of a year the planet Mercury appears to stop it's regular path of motion across our sky to turn around and move backward for aproximately 3 weeks.   Of course Mercury isn't actually changing it's orbit at all for that period of time but only appears to in our sky.    A little lesson in perspective perhaps.

The Mercury retrograde we are currently in started March 2nd and will go till March 25th..  But we aren't said to be completely out of it until April 15th when Mercury will actually pass the point where it was before it turned around to go retro.  Next one is July 4th - 29th.

So what does this mean to the astrologically alligned?  

Because Mercury is said to govern communications and travel typically these are the areas where you can expect to see trouble with it goes retrograde. 

Another factor in this equation is the astrological sign that Mercury goes retrograde in.. This time it's Pisces so if you have alot of Pisces in your chart you'll likely be feeling it more than most.    I'm pisces moon which is perhaps why i've been noticing this as a particularily strong introspective time.   The next one will be in Cancer.

I find generally the key to getting through is patience.

Here's a link with some nice information..
