Mercury is now retrograde until 2/18/2008
Several times a year, the planet Mercury enters a transit known as "retrograde." Mercury Retrograde (or Rx) occurs when Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky.
During Mercury Retrograde, communications and travel are likely to feel like they are moving in slow motion, or even backward. Mercury also rules machines like computers, so it's always a good idea to make sure your computers are all backed up before Mercury Rx! (Of course, you do back up regularly, anyway, right?)
If it seems like Mercury Rx is ruining your month, try going with the flow. Rather than fighting the slowdown, use it productively to re-visit past projects and tie up loose ends.
Rather than dreading Mercury Rx, you may learn to look forward to it!
Mercury is now Retrograde at 23 Aquarius!
January 28, 2008 - February 18, 2008
This aspect calls for examination of our perceptions and separation of fantasy from reality, with Aquarian focus on the big picture.

From PlanetWeather.net, Dorothy Ohi discusses recognizing the influence of this transit. She writes:
"Are you feeling yourself entering the underworld of your psyche yet? Mercury in Scorpio demands that we come to terms with the unconscious parts of ourselves so that we can have a better grip on the events and relationships of our lives - without passing the blame or projecting our "stuff" onto others. Scorpio is about possessiveness and also about ownership - of proceeding along the path of life knowing who we are and who and what we are not."
