Mercury Retrograde Cycles & Calendar
To know if you are influenced, you need your natal chart.
Each cycle varies with the speed of Mercury, sign, and other
planetary positions.
The
Yellow shaded areas indicate dates when Mercury is retrograde.
The "Red Letter" days are the most erratic, when Mercury is
moving at its slowest, less than 1 degree each day. Plan even more carefully on "Red
Letter Days".
The "gray shadow" areas are those called the "Shadow
Period". The "gray shadow days" mark the
beginning and ending of Mercury's influence.
(Shadow begins when Mercury is at position where it will later
turn Direct; Shadow ends when Mercury returns to position at which it went
Retrograde.)
The Retrograde cycle starts with warning Shadow days, intensity
increases during the "Red Letter or Storm days" , things then
move into the heightened chaos of the Mercury Retrograde, Mercury then
slows and we have "Red Letter Days" at the end of the
Retrograde, a final tapering off of Mercury effect during the closing
Shadow Period cycle, and then Clear Days Ahead! "Red letter days" are those days during which Mercury moves VERY
slowly and thus greater intensity is exhibited of those things ruled
by Mercury. See other 2008 Retrograde planets

Mercury is
retrograde, appearing to move backward, 2-3 times a year.
Mercury retrograde times call for you to recheck everything,
anticipate and plan ahead, and to relearn lessons unlearned since
the last Mercury retrograde cycle. It is a good time for
review and completing ongoing projects. It is NOT a time to
start something new. Mercury energies involve the mind, mental
processes, communication, travel, speaking, and writing. The
Retrograde symbol is "Rx", the same symbol on all medical
prescriptions! Physicians until the 15th century had to also
be astrologers before they could practice medicine. Plan ahead
for these times. So you can do preventive maintenance and schedule,
here are the common things that occur, the things Mercury retrograde
times are notorious for:
-
Communications go awry - phone calls, letters, emails, faxes,
conversations are delayed, misinterpreted, blocked.
Recheck everything like appointment times, spelling, wording,
the words you say.
-
Anticipate detours - memory lapses, confusion, failing to
listen, failing to confirm, negotiation failures, changing of
plans.
-
Avoid
signing documents, contracts if possible. You can wait 3 weeks,
hopefully.
-
Expect
travel delays, car trouble, delayed plane schedules,
reservations that suddenly becoming "missing", transportation
difficulties of all kinds.
-
Expect
problems with messages, books, letters, magazines, documents,
neighbors and the near environment.
-
BACK up your computer files! This is the time the
screen goes blank and there is nothing there!
-
Expect
the phone lines, cable lines, power lines to have problems.
Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky, describes Mercury
retrograde well:
“Mercury retrograde…isn’t ‘bad’, - it just takes some planning
to cooperate with the energies. It’s meant to be spent
assimilating experiences, reviewing the past, and redoing, in
general. Matter of fact, if you really want to get the most out of
a Mercury retrograde, confine your activities as much as
possible to those that have “re” attached to the beginning of the
word. Re-schedule appointments, repair vehicles, return to
the past, re-write documents and agreements,
etc.
Resources you can use:
-
Information about houses and
their emphasis is found in detail in
Astrology Houses; while more information about the energies
of the Signs in your horoscope are found at
Astrology Sign energies.
-
Solar and Lunar eclipse positions
are at Eclipses. Determine
if these eclipses interact closely with your personal chart and
you can plan ahead.
-

and talents are with the DISC Profiles and Team Dimensions

times. They may be for the positive, or for the negative,
depending upon your personal birth chart. A general table
