February 13, 2007, Mercury turns retrograde
March 7.2007 Mercury turns direct
During this time Mercury, appears to be going backward and indeed it moves through an Astrological sign backward. Since Mercury rules communication, mental activity and traveling we should be more careful to check details and have patience with communication devices going haywire. Often all of our communications and projects seem delayed by circumstance or confusion. Maybe leave extra time to get where you are going as well. Mercury rules the mind, mental processes and all forms of communication Usually we function in the real world from our left brain which is logical, practical, rational. Our right brain controls intuition, art, spirituality and creativity. When Mercury goes retrograde imagine these two sides of our brain reversing!
This is a fine time to draw on knowledge and guidance from deeper levels of consciousness. Use Mercury retrograde periods to complete unfinished and often long neglected projects. You can reflect on old issues in a new way from which new perspectives can be developed.
This can be a very good time for introspection and meditation, seeing old friends, and creative endeavors.
Catch up with things that have been left undone. This is a great period to re-mind, re-view, re-think and re-connect...
Namaste...
