Mercury went retrograde today, and for those that do not have but little knowing of astrology, well with Mercury in retrograde until May 11th, it has it's positives and negatives, as all things do of course.
This Mercury in retrograde is in the sign of Taurus, which means you have the energy on your side for planting and gardening.
Also during this particular retrograde the signs of Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, will be particularly affected by this energy, bringing introspection.
The two strong days that perhaps can give you some trouble where energies are at a peak are the 24th and 25th of April because of the Mercury/Mars square that weekend. So tread carefully, and pay attention to details.
The obstinacy and stubbornness of the bull (Taurus) which are characteristics also apply to this retrograde in the areas of travel, sales, communication, and all mental pursuits. Watch driving, and road rage.
During retrograde things tend to break down, allowing you the opportunity to be aware to get things in better working order and fixed. People tend to cancel appointments, reschedule, and cancel again. Be careful with your communication with loved ones. Many misunderstandings take place or mixed communication. If you are in school, double check to make sure the teacher received your papers, as this also goes for those at work. Many times during retrograde paper or important documents get mixed up or are never received. It's annoying for sure.
Retrograde is a time to assess, finish up projects that have already been started before Mercury went retrograde. It is not a time to start new, or sign contracts, jobs etc....
The energy of this retrograde picks up towards the later phase, so those that don't seem too affected at first, don't let your guard down.
The positive things about retrograde are that you are made aware of what's not working, and a time to take a breathe and be, before Mercury goes direct again.
Also, word of caution, 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after retrograde the energy is am pt up, so because it is May 11th, it can take some time for the energy to settle.
So, enjoy...and have patience, and don't try to fight the energy. Just accept that you may have to do some of the simplest things twice.
