It’s spring in the Northern hemisphere– at last! Let’s show the weather how it’s done by breaking out all of those ideas, plans and projects you’ve been promising yourself you’d begin once the conditions were right. Mercury, the planet of communication, will go retrograde on April 21st so, expect the unexpected. Remember to be insightful– it’s where the answers are. Mercury retrogrades are great for introspection and personal “re” work– reflection, retreat, review, reinvention. Since Mercury rules communication, transportation and contracts, when it’s retrograde, all manner of mistakes and misunderstandings can occur. If you can, please hold off on buying (or leasing) any big-ticket items and wait until Mercury goes direct on May 14th before making any big decisions. Please practice patience with compassion, remember to focus on the big picture, and go easy on yourself and others. There will be delays, so factor in extra time in your schedule, and above all, please don’t take the vicissitudes of life personally.
