What Is Mercury Retrograde and What Does It Mean for You?
If you plan to close on a home, during a retrograde, you must cross your tee's and dot your i's. That means have the home inspected by someone that has no dog in the fight, and that doesn't know the realtor. Have it inspected the day of the closing, to make sure everything has been done, that the seller said would be done. If it is not done, postpone the signing date, or have the seller subtract the amount from the sale of the home and give you the monies as a check, or cash? Also, don't waive anything that should be done before you buy, just to save the money. So make sure you get the survey of the property, before you buy.
Hi, we are trying to buy a house 15 hours away. We have not yet signed the contracts. What do we need to do during Mercury Retrograde to protect ourselves and perhaps our biggest investment?
Is it OK to start a new job under mercury retrograde? All the paperwork is being completed in normal time - what precautions should I heed if I do start a new job under mercury retrograde.
I started a job during merc retro. I tried hard to move the start date earlier, but could not due to the moving between states. It later turned out that the decision by management to revive that position was not warranted, the duties of the position changed a lot, felt like a demotion, the economy took a nosedive, I was laid off 14 months later, but got a sinking feeling(s) well before that. Try hard not to start a job during merc retro!
First of all, congratulations on your new job! As to starting a job when Mercury is retrograde, astrologers vary in their advice. Our take is, if one has the good fortune, skills, and talents to be offered a new job, it’s natural for that new employee to want to get off to a great start with the employer. According to some astrologers, when Mercury is retrograde, things might be a little more fluid as to changes, delays, etc. If one allows for these possible surprises or setbacks (normally there are a few anyway when learning a new job), focuses on the needs of supervisors and listens to coworkers, and does the best one can to learn—and enjoy!—the new position, things likely will work out fine. Remember that the times when Mercury is retrograde are temporary—many jobs last much longer than these off times. A little extra patience and positivity, as well as a focus on clear communication—plus some fun during off hours to de-stress!—can help during these periods. Good luck, and we wish you all the best!
Let's see. The car battery died. The muffler needed to be replaced immediately after. They had problems getting parts. No car for four days.
A tooth finally bit the dust and will have to be pulled.
Communication misunderstandings. Delays with shipping. Data not being updated in a timely manner.
I want to hide. I hope September's retrograde won't be as bad as this one.
OK I must admit I have trouble undestanding how anyone couldn't LOVE Mercury Retrograde. The Creator who made the Planets surely put them all in motion, for reasons perhaps sometimes beyond our understanding. We're living in the space age and I hope others can detach and look at this scientifically. I find Retrograde is the best time to record albums with my band, to sell concert t-shirts and tickets; also to rehearse, to Read intensely (even Scripture or Classic Greek and Roman Literature), to re-paint, to renew one's own personal spirituality, to communicate with old friends. Honestly since I've known about it, i DO feel a little different when I know we're in a "Retro" phase. I just look forward to it so much 'cause I think it's some kind of special gift from the Creator. I would caution, though, be careful going on space flights at these times and double-check your geometry. (a little joke, but Virgin, SpaceX, etc are really flying now, ...so... why not!!)
During a mercury retrograde of last year, we had a hot plate set on a clock. It turned on at an unexpected time and there was a wool blanket inside. I had to call the fire department and they extinguished the fire. During the first retrograde this year, I was rejected by someone I spoke to for the first time on Christmas day. This time I already knew of the term, so I looked up on the internet to discover I was in it. Now here it is again...:)
During this one, I noticed something now about the 20th. Without being a ware that it was a Mercury retrograde, I forgot that a phone call I got on Jan 31st had happened and I didn't remember to return it until Feb 20! It was from a person from long ago who I hadn't seen for 29 years!
We have an offer pending that we will have to sign during Mercury Retrograde. My husband is Pisces and I am Capricorn. Is this a good idea or not?
