This week Mercury is turning retrograde early this Wednesday and lasts for three weeks. It doesn't really go backwards but from our angle it appears to do so. When this happens, 3 times a year, all the areas or our lives that Mercury oversees CAN seem to go a bit haywire since the normal orbiting energy isn't flowing that well.
2. Don't make any BIG purchases like a NEW car or BRAND NEW house. Mercury rules ALL transportation and communications and cars are a double whammy that includes a contract and is definitely transportation related. Houses involve multiple deeds and contracts and as stated above, this may get mixed up so why not avoid it all together. The exception to this is it's okay to buy a USED car. The backwards energy matches the backward energy of a previously built older car. Still do your research and remember to not misread communications as they are less than clear.
4. Communications need extra care. Watch out for random or thoughtless phrasing on your part that could cause some misunderstandings. Sometimes this is unintentionally cold blooded and maybe again your subconscious is bringing up some hidden feelings for you to release. This includes speaking, non-verbal body language, writings, emails, texts, Facebook posts even your own thoughts to yourself! Stop and reflect why or what may be behind it.
5. Learning or teaching can feel very difficult or convoluted. What normally would be easy to read and write a report on may take 3 times as long. Or your class is usually settled and in a good learning frame of mind but for no apparent reason now have decided to be super noisy or suddenly are bombarded with weird disruptions. Plan more time than usual to absorb information and to convey information. Luckily this time Mercury is in fast paced Aquarius so your mind may travel at light speed giving you lots of ideas to use this energy.
The overall positive out of these next few weeks is that we should pause and connect with the "backwards" energy in the sky. As we slow down we gather and reserve potential energy so that after Mercury goes direct mid-February you are full to the brim ready to use all that momentum for rapid action. Look to your chart's Aquarius house to understand where you have the greatest challenges and potential growth.
