However, if damage has been minimal for you, then you don’t have the baggage of cleanups to handle and are free to move forward now and make hay while the sun shines!

Wednesday is named after Mercury
Day of Mercury. Mercury is associated with male energy and how we think, talk, listen, learn and communicate. It’s a fast moving changeable planet and is often called the trickster, and it’s directly connected with business commerce and media. Too much Mercury can create confusion, miscommunications, misunderstanding, and placing more importance on logic than feelings.
- Using Geocentric calculation methods, Mercury moves in direct motion for awhile through the signs and then slows down to stop, and then RETROGRADES (RX) 3 times each year, each lasting 3.5 weeks and it can be in a single sign or span two signs during that time. But that’s not the full story because there is also the pre and post Retrograde windows of time that precede and follow each Retro cycle before and after the actual 3.5 week Retrograde dates. So technically, Mercury is only NOT in some form of Retrograde for 85 days out of every calendar year.
- Using Heliocentric calculation methods the planet is always Direct (no planets Retrograde).
