General influence of Mercury retrograde*Mercury rules over the mind's processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, allthese areas are affected as well. **The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the ownthoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious andeager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps themeditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, butit affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, theattention oriented outwards.**Businesses, travels and communications tend to experience delays anddifferent problems. Computers and other processes that work with informationmay experience crashes, unexpected failures.**Don't enroll to courses, don't buy expensive Mercurian items (books, cars,mobile phones etc.), don't sign important contracts and do not marry.*What is this Mercury retrograde period good for?*It is definitely a very good period for some actions. No time is completely bad for anything, there is a reason in everything happens.**The key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurianaction, reverse its flow, consider the keywords "re-doing something","double-checking" , "finish the old projects" and there you are, you've foundthe good side of Mercury retrograde.**For instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, asubject you studied before, meet and discuss with old friends you haven'tmet for a long time, travel to places you've already been to before.**This is an excellent time to work on old projects that never got to befinished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.**Next, you might wish to prevent any bad things to happen to you: sodouble-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm thateverything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline andleave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your importantfiles and documents, save your work more often.**The other solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn't performed right the first time.*
 
* **Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about theinfluence of this period, but the others aren't aware of it or there may beuncontrollable events. That's why you should have more diligence with theothers and give them some more time. It'll be your mental health that you'll be sparing actually.** ** **Mercury represents non-emotional, rational, objective thought. Mercury isflexible, responsive, and adaptable. Part of its job is to help disburseinformation, so it rules perception, language, writing, editing, research,speaking and learning. Mercury also rules telecommunications, computing,software, electronic gadgets, shipping, couriers, and transportation, etc.So, it's a pretty important planet to just everyday living.**So, when Mercury goes retrograde, it scrambles information, causing static,confusion and forgetfulness. The effects are universal and all peoples feelits effect, regardless of their own signs. The signs Gemini and Virgo feelit slightly more because Mercury is their ruling planet and because they'resuch picky perfectionists and they really do expect their lives to go likeclockwork.**Mercury Rx periods is the revealing of things hidden [past crimes arerevealed or criminals located who were hiding during these times, clues arefound or researched that had been previously overlooked in the past]. Also,investigations can be horribly botched during those times too. Probably it'salmost instinctual when detectives review and reveal during these times.**Quote by Steven Forrest: "Mercury retrograde isn't bad; it just takes some planning to cooperate with the energies. It's meant to be spent assimilatingexperiences, reviewing the past, and redoing, in general. As a matter of fact, if you really want to get the most out of Mercury retrograde, confineyour activities as much as possible to those that have "re" attached to the beginning of the word. Reschedule appointments, repair vehicles, return tothe past, rewrite documents and agreements, and so forth."**Mercury RX is a great time for writers to go back to their work and edit.You can find more mistakes during that time, and you might also come up withideas to spice up your writing, make it stronger. It's also a good period toclean out files, closets, return to unfinished projects and reviewing them,spend more time mentally re-viewing things that have happened in the past,
