Read MoreMercury in Retrograde (in Libra)
As I wrote about yesterday we are now in the midst of Mercury in Retrograde. And as we know, when any planet is in Retrograde (seemingly going backwards from our Earth’s view) it is a great time to focus on revisiting, reviewing and reflecting upon our circumstances. It is also worth noting that Mercury is…
Read MoreMercury in Retrograde
Mercury is now in Retrograde – which means that from our Earth view, it looks like it’s moving backwards. This happens three time a year for three weeks and often this time gets a bad rap….
