Here we go for the next 3 weeks (June 19) we have an opportunity to “catch up” so to speak, on many unfinished projects. I love to clean out closets during this time.

Swimming against the stream is never a good idea unless you want to be tested and struggle and possibly fail……Mercury retrograde doesn’t have to be filled with breakdowns and difficulties………….flow with the stream and do what there is energy for.

My favorite astrologer just posted this on his blog:

Over the years many have asked me what Mercury retrograde is good for. We know it’s supposedly NOT a good time to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics or major moves or decisions, and we are supposed to hang out with the energies, seeing that things may not be as they appear, and so on. That said, there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.

I have found that as long as one is flexible, retrograde travel is actually a good thing. So is research, reflection, review, rehearsals, and returns from the past. It’s also a great time for reconnecting with old friends, finding people and things thought lost, It’s a great time to explore possibilities, as long as no definitive decisions are made and options kept open, since they are usually modified or reversed later on.

It’s great for doing things left undone or neglected from previous times. It’s good for resuming something from the past, as long as you remember that it may not look like it used to, or requires a different approach than before. It’s also excellent for getting new information and perspective that fills in gaps in understanding or activity, and doing things that seem to go in one direction but lead us to entirely new information and understanding.

We can safely resume things begun in previous retrograde periods, or pick up threads we once set aside while other things developed. It’s an energy that favors building in a time lag in judging or evaluating whatever you’re doing, since retrogrades often show that there are things yet to develop that will ultimately fill in whatever is missing in the present. –Robert Wilkinson ©
