Bounced checks. Cancelled appointments. Lost car keys. These are all par for the course during Mercury Retrograde. If you’re a horoscope junkie, or like to blame astrological events for your problems, you’re among friends. Mercury Retrograde started a couple of weeks ago and lasts till Feb. 17th. Basically, it’s a time where the star gazers tell you not to sign anything, make important plans or be upset when all hell breaks loose.
This weekend Mercury Retrograde slapped me upside the head. I forgot to pay a credit card bill (which I just can’t wait to see the ramifications of next month), had a chump that I set up on a date with a good friend cancel at the last minute on her, and then started a painting project on Sunday that has turned out to be a 4 man job. Argh!
If you’re experiencing havoc or anything remotely like this, feel free to blame it on the positioning of the moon, or whatever those cookoos tell us. I am.
