Not sure I believe in it

Snagged from the internet
One of my favorite bloggers is an author as well as an astrologer. I just learned from her that the planet Mercury began a retrograde period yesterday, one of three for the year. Never heard of it? You can learn more here, if you're interested. That link takes you to the Farmers' Almanac website with everything you need to know.

Although I'm not sure I believe in it, I am still wary about any purchases I might make during Mercury Retrograde. It's worth paying attention and seeing if it seems noticeable in your own life. In any event, I am always looking for something to blame when things go wrong, and this certainly qualifies. From that link:
The planet Mercury rules communication, travel, contracts, automobiles, and such. So, when Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow extra time for travel, and avoid signing contracts.
What do you think? I've been aware of this astrological phenomenon for a long time and still am unsure whether I notice a difference or whether it's just because I'm paying attention.

  2. Never heard of it but now that I've been warned, I may be more cautious. I do know that full moons sure can create behavior problems.

  6. Ooh, how nice to be able to blame wonky happenings on an outside force. I followed your link to see how long it would last and was surprised. Good thing I wasn't going anywhere or planing on buying anything big.

  8. McFamily had their car accident before Mercury went retrograde--LOL! Astrology is fun to dabble in on occasion--kind of like psychics--but I don't take either of them seriously. :)

  9. Well, interesting...very interesting D J.
    But, in all honestly, me signing contracts, I avoid it if I can ALL the time, not just when Mercury goes retrograde.

    I personally, love reading science. Anything to do with any PART of all sciences catch my attention, but like you, some can be believable, others, not so much.

  11. I bought a car when Mercury was retrograde and ended up returning it. I've also signed contracts during Mercury retros and regretted it.

    Thanks for the mention, DJan!

  12. Oh dear, I know friends who are traveling during that period of time. I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed for them. And OK... we won’t buy a car either.
