Mercury went retrograde March 30th and goes direct again on April 24th. What does this mean for you?

Great information if you feel things are just not right. This was posted on Healing Hearts Metaphysical Store newsletter. As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our "lower" mind-how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. 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. During these periods, it's best to check and double-check your work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be understanding if you receive remarks that don't go over well. Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant it the way you thought they did! Asking "are you sure you meant to say that?" might help. Get in touch with yourself during this period--it's an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of looking at life and at yourself. It's also an ideal cycle in which to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts. (Cafe Astrology)
