Six Steps For Getting the Most out of Mercury Retrograde
1. Slow down before you speak, especially if you are excited. This is one reason Mercury gains power when retrograde. We are usually babbling at the mouth without thinking. Now we can choose our words more carefully and all will benefit.
2. Journal. Write your thoughts down and be more introspective. This is another reason why the retrograde cycle is powerful. Internalizing ideas, and allowing them to gain strength can happen now.
3. Defragment your hard drive. Over consumption of information and clutter on you r computer can lead to problems.
4. Reflect on recent communication decisions. If you revisit them / the people involved - listen more than talk. There is valuable information that you can get at this time. This is a good time to learn better communication skills. Better to do it in the least painful way by also strngthing your listening skills.
5. Pay attention to your intuition. Mercury Retrograde has us kind of "thinking backwards" - we may get all the details before we even know what is happening.
6. Try to avoid entering into any NEW contractual agreements until after May 31. Ok, it is not so unique - but there is good reason for it. We (or someone else) may confuse the details and get us in all kinds of trouble later.
