OH NO NOT MERCURY RETROGRADE NEAR THE GENERAL ELECTION

I had a feeling Mercury was about to go into retrograde again and sure enough when I checked things out indeed it is. So if you have noticed anything to with communication slowing down and interactions with others going a bit haywire, and this includes all forms of communication and tools of communication going awry then you can be sure this is why. Although it happens on 31st October 2019 it can take effect a below days before and likewise after moving forward again

During the next Mercury retrograde:

• If at all possible, avoid signing legal documents.
• If at all possible, finish projects which involve communication before the retrograde.
• If at all possible, avoid closing big deals during the retrograde
• If at all possible, avoid launching new projects during the retrograde
• If at all possible, avoid scheduling meetings to make a big decision
• Allow extra time when travelling
• Backup your hard drive before the retrograde
• If at all possible, avoid installing new computer software during the retrograde
• Do needed repairs on machinery before the retrograde
• Do not hold an election during the retrograde. 

Thankfully for the UK Mercury will have moved on at the up and coming election, hopefully after 12 days it should be ok

Its not all bad though it is actually an ideal time to do some other things, like:

• Do the follow-ups on a project already started
• Wrap up or complete a project already started
• Research a new project thoroughly
• Catch up on paperwork
• Hold an information-sharing meeting

Mercury Retrograde: How will dreaded aspect affect your horoscope this Halloween?

MERCURY RETROGRADE arrives tomorrow. Express.co.uk explains how this astrological aspect can affect your horoscope this Halloween.

Mercury Retrograde is the planetary phenomenon occurring when Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, appears to move backwards across the sky. The apparent reversal in Mercury’s orbit is actually only an illusion when viewed from Earth. Mercury goes Retrograde three or four times a year, for up to three weeks at a time.

Mercury Retrograde first came to prominence British astrological circles in the mid-18th century.

Brace yourself. Mercury reverses courses on Halloween, which is gonna make for a sloppy party

Astrologer Danny Larkin

This was a time when spiritualism and the interest in star signs was extremely popular.

The Roman god Mercury was once considered to affect travel, business, personal wealth and – most of all – communication, meaning astrologers also linked the planet to those areas.

The significance of Mercury Retrograde has become increasingly exaggerated.
