Mercury Retrograde, Oh my!

For those of you who might not be familiar with Mercury Retrograde.  It is a strong planetary influence that ocurrs about 3 to 4 times a year.

Mercury Retrograde is when planets back up.  Mercury has a strong force that rules communication and that is why so many people report cancelled appointments, being given wrong directions, electronics  not working or breaking down completely;  Car problems and accidents are also high during this time.

It is often said to just stay home and for goodness sake, don’t travel!   There are good things happening as well this month so focus on the positives.

Here are Some Things to pay attention to during a Retrograde:

1. Drive carefully.  Take extra time to get to appointments.  Accidents are more likely.
2. Put off renovations to home or body during this time if possible.  Surgeries or remodeling projects are likely to get fouled up.  This includes hair cuts, teeth cleaning, or dog grooming.
3. Watch your money.  Deposit checks but check all information and make sure it happens.  Sending money in the mail can get lost.
4. Don’t travel unless you have to.  If so, check all flights several times before leaving, take snacks as flights get delayed.  Get to airport early.  Have reading materials as you may wait awhile.

Thing to Do to Enhance Your Business during a Retrograde:

1. Clean out your office, home, or car.  Its a time to de-clutter, get organized.  Get rid of the old and the past.
2. If you follow Flying Star Feng Shui, make sure you have added your cures for the year to avoid misfortune or illness.
3. Wear a spiritual amulet with some metal in it.  A blue rhino key chain can help from being robbed or burglarized.  Here is a link to my amazon store for the blue rhinos.http://astore.amazon.com/designforener-20
4. Pamper yourself.  Get plenty of sleep; Take your vitamins. Use this time to recharge.
5. Take things slower during the time.  Meditate to help stay grounded.
6. Do or Create something for your clients to show you care about making a difference in their lives.
