Brain Retrograde
Doh! I have had a contract sitting in my inbox for the last week for me to read and sign, and of course since Saturday Mercury is now doing it's thrice-yearly backwards shuffle. Yes, it's Mercury Retrograde time again, folks! I always counsel clients to avoid signing documents until Mercury goes Direct again, which it won't until August 16th. Should I stall signing and upset those waiting for me to sign or should I simply be extra careful and read it and re-read it so that I don't overlook any items of 'small print' that could trip me up later on? I know which I want to do and I think I will have to explain to the person concerned that since I'm an astrologer he will have to wait. I'm sure he will undertand.
Actually, talking of Mercury Retrograde, I seem to be super-sensitive to them for some reason (maybe because my Sun is in Virgo, which, along with Gemini, is ruled by Mercury, or maybe because Mercury is my 'strongest' planet in terms of essential and accidental dignity). In the past, when Mercury has been in one of its retrograde periods, I have had letters put out in the street for me to collect by an ex-flatmate (how sensible! How considerate!), bicycles stolen, scooters conking out, innumerable postal delays (including a letter that took three weeks to travel three miles), cancelled holidays, email overload and misunderstandings. Just this morning the printers told me my magazine, Gloucestershire Connections, will be published a day late, but then of course, I expected that.
Only last August when Mercury was retrograde and I went to Barcelona for a four-day break were there no hitches or delays. Perhaps that's the best thing to do when Mercury goes retrograde. Take a holiday! Tell the boss it's better for all concerned that he or she shuts down the business for a few weeks, or at the very least to make no decisions and spend the time instead constructively brain-storming or playing leadership games out in the wilderness. The resulting mental synergy and productivity could be astounding!
