What is Mercury retrograde good for?
A few thoughts from someone who is neither an astrologer nor an astronomer.
Crashing computers, unproductive conversations, repeated mechanical failures can be frustrating, and some people recognize a greater tendency towards such stressors during times when our sister planet, Mercury is applying the breaks.
I was thinking about how we might best use this particular “Energetic Adjustment” to our best benefit.
Yes, Mercury going retrograde again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks each time. This time it is from January 28 to February 19, 2008. Next, from May 27 to June 19, 2008. And then from September 24 to October 15, 2008.
What is this Mercury retrograde period good for?
It is a very good period for some actions. No time (Nothing) is completely bad.
The key is the reversed direction of movement: (There is no real backwards movement of Mercury; it’s just that we see it this way from Earth, [the selfish perspective] because of the combined movement of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun.
Astrologically and realistically this is very relevant).Take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the key prefix: RE, as in “re-doing something”, “double-checking”, “finish the old projects” … That’s it. That’s a particularly good face of Mercury retrograde.
For instance, you may want to re-read a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, meet and Re-hang with old friends you haven’t seen in a while, maybe travel to places you’ve already been to before (Re-visit).
This is an excellent time to Re-engage in old projects that never got to be finished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.
Also, you can Re-assure that things are going as you like: so double-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm that everything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline and leave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often.
Above all, be compassionate and understanding: you are already aware of the influence of this period, many others aren’t. And there may be uncontrollable events. That’s why you might want to exercise greater tolerance with the others and give them some extra time and consideration. It’ll will likely pay off personally. Mercury retrograde periods are times when alternative approaches present themselves from the collective mind.
Remember the “re” in retrograde. These weeks are good for redoing just about anything.” Some “to-dos” include:
You may wish to:
Renew and/or Redo something
or:
Reapply
Redo
Rewrite
Review
Renew
Repair
Re-contact
Research something
Oh, and don’t forget to:
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
…A few additional RE words that may be worth consideration:
REALIZE
REACH
REAFFIRM
REAWAKE
REBOUND
RECLAIM
RECOVER
REDEEM
REINDEER
REJECT, RESTRAIN and REPEL… where appropriate
RELAX
RESONATE
RESOURCE
RESOLVE
REVAMP

The Mechanics:
Any retrograde is a slowing of the planetary motion relative to its average speed. Thus the retrograde process does not begin at the stationary points, but instead may be likened to a gradual in-breathing and out-breathing. The motion gradually decreases in speed to a point of maximum slowness, and then gradually increases in speed again over time. The stationary points are where its speed is approximately equal to the Earth’s, and show threshold points of significance. These points are pauses in the action, so to speak, frozen moments of seeing a forward vision (at the point of stationary retrograde), or taking one last look at a rapidly receding past (at the point of stationary direct).
re- back, again
readmit (verb): to allow in again
re + ad + mit
retro- backward
retrospect (noun) to look back at past events
retro + spect
