mercuryandargus Predictions for 2007: Mercury Retrograde in in February and March 2007

Mercury will retrograde on February 14 at 10° Pisces and station again at 25° Aquarius on March 8

If you read this blog at all regularly, you may have noticed I don’t make a very big deal about Mercury going retrograde. I used to worry about it a lot more, but then I realized that the only people affected by Mercury retrograde seemed to be astrologers, so I let it go. Let’s face it, hiding away for three weeks at a time is just not very appealing or practical.

That all being said, it is still important to be aware of Mercury’s effects vis-à-vis your own natal horoscope. If you are starting a book, applying to graduate school, or doing anything major that is Mercurial in nature, it’s best to wait until Mercury is safely away from its retrogradation period. Note that I did not include communicating, e-mailing, or generally being a normal human being in the list of activities above. Feel free to do so during Mercury retrograde periods, and everything will be okay.

However, there may come a time when you absolutely need to act on a major deal during Mercury retrograde. If that’s the case, I would wait until Mercury is in a more favorable sign. In this upcoming Mercury retrograde period, this means that I would stay away from Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and wait until it entered Aquarius on February 28. And then, I would rather act by night, when Mercury rules the triplicity. Sometimes people ask me what “by night” means exactly: it’s when it’s so dark you cannot distinguish a black thread from a white one, or so the old astrologers supposedly said.

    Cool entry, I used to fear Mercury’s retrogrades as well, never out of someone else telling me to be forewarned but because I used to run myself ragged a few times a year for virtually my entire life without realizing why. Then as I got further into astrology I think I was having a discussion with a friend and she mentioned them and I went back over the previous few years in my mind in concordance with dates and personal events and all the worst time’s lined up accordingly with them. It really blew me away. So fear I did for a while until I realized if I just go with the flow during this period more than normal and not start anything new, the big scary retrograde that had historically been a hard period of time on me has become a period of reflection and just hanging out with friends doing simple things with no expectations.

    I gotta say though, I was severely affected by it for most my life and I’m no astrologer ;) Now I can just plan for it.
