Mercury in Retrograde - what is that

…about? Heard reference to it twice this am. Any suggested sites or information would be much appreciated.

I found this on CNN, least expected of all places. Maybe it will help.

Thank you. It does, however, appear to be an advertisement for bubble bath and candles and all. LOL

Hey noticed your icon for Giza - the sign for Earth on Stargate. Have binged all 10 seasons of the original; then, started Stargate Atlantis, and now half way through the last season.

The shows demonstrate all the operations of late, with assorted scenarios - major Translation of Method.

I apologize for the bad finding, ads and all that.
By the way, I am a fan of the Stargate series, although there is no substitute for the first original Stargate movie from 1984.
I find them to be rich with all possible scenarios for strange technologies, possible ends of the world or other worlds, various weapons, biological, physical, psychological, neurological, etc.

Otherwise, it helps in maintaining one’s own psychological health, at least that is the case with me.

This summer I watched all the seasons of SG-1.
I’m thinking should I watch the episodes of Stargate Universe,again for the 4th time.

For a very basic answer:

What is Mercury Retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky for a period of approximately 3 weeks…

Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state.

Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business.

Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.

Retrograde planets display an erratic motion which is linked to delays, recurrences, returns to previous conditions, reversals of events, and unexpected events occurring suddenly or becoming more dramatic and intense.

A Mercury retrograde period is a difficult time to begin new projects linked to communication, networking, information-flow and travel. Extra caution is needed to ensure that messages are clearly understood and delivered.

and this is the time of possible information/data losses/leaks, breakdown of hard-drives and computer system crashes.

moreover a great possibility for mending traumas, curing family bruises, bringing up childhood memories bad and good as well. time for pondering upon the road which led us here.
