Astrological recommendations. Retrograde Mercury

In the periods of the astrological «inefficiency» we may lose money. Business matters and affairs started at this time do not result into big successes and do not bring in return. Such periods may happen 4 times per year at the average so the importance of this point shall be taken into consideration.

Well, what is a retrograde planet?

Normally, planets move counterclockwise along the Zodiacal Sign. But sometimes planets change the direction of their movement and start to move clockwise. If we could observe the movement of such planets from the Earth, we would notice that the movement slows down and then starts invertedly. In other words planets move backward, in the opposite direction, retrogradly.

Mercury is a planet of utmost importance in our everyday life. All of us interact with other people, exchange information, talk, learn and analyze. Planet Mercury is associated with trips and all communication means such as the telephone, post, Internet, fax etc. It is responsible for our thinking, logic, perception and digestion of the information.

What’s happening when Mercury is retrograde? The communication and ability to be quick on the uptake get impeded. We are incapable of arranging our thoughts in orderly pigeonhole and remember the required information quickly. It gets difficult to analyze the situation logically. The activity connected with learning something new gets hampered and it is problematic to bear the new information in mind. Difficulties connected with the documents drawing up arise as well as obstacles, confusions and discrepancies are faced. Payments do not reach recipients and required phone numbers and documents get lost.

It is essential for businessmen to take into consideration the said periods. This time is unfavorable to conclude agreements and contracts and close deals as well. Going on business trips and launching of new projects are not recommended. Do not take the risk of starting a new affair or deal at this period as you will lose your money and receive much less than expected.

Do not make major purchases at this period as chances are that you will buy a fake and have to return it back.
However, such periods have not only weaknesses but also strengths. This time is excellent to collect information, piece up broken connections, analyze the work completed, refine upon projects or sum up the results.

We will be facing such periods two times in the second half of the year 2010:

- from August 20 to September 13, 2010 as well as from December 10 to December 30, 2010.
