“Mercury Retrograde” is when the planet Mercury appears to be traveling backward from our viewpoint on Earth. It happens for about three weeks three to four times a year and is associated with mistakes, communication problems, delays, and electronics breaking down. It is believed not to be a good time to make life-altering changes, like starting a new job, signing contracts, or making big purchases. During this time, it is important to be flexible, focused, patient, cautious, and careful (make sure your computer is backed up). With all that considered, Mercury Retrograde is a great time to take a break, reflect on the past, reassess life, reorganize, and connect with old friends. When the time arises, carry these three stones to help with the challenging situations Mercury Retrograde may bring.
