Summary: a poem about Mercury Retrograde
Notes: jump to references


When Mercury turns backward
he's a trickster in the midst of his pranks
Communications, technology,
exchange, commerce, and travel
all the domains he rules go "Oops!"

You'll get into fights over nothing
Your computer might act a little funny
A new big purchase will probably have a flaw
That contract you're looking at likely has some tricks in it
Your transportation will be late

Take the time to use his movements
to review and clear
Relax
Rewind
Reflect
Research

When he goes direct again
The reflection clears the way
for new beginnings
and turning your attention
for the better
