AWESOME!!!
The 2nd (of 4) Mercury Retrograde of the year is coming to an end. In astrology, a retrograde cycle is when a planet appears to be moving backwards along it's ellipse in the nightsky according to our view from the ground down here on planet Earth (it's really just an optical illusion). When Mercury goes Retrograde it last for 3 to 3 1/2 weeks. So, if you were experiencing any problems with communication (aka "drama"), technical mishaps (i.e. - lost ya' Crackberry), or travel mishaps (loads of my friends flight were delayed this past weekend), that was due, in part, to the Mercury Retrograde. But, alas, the light at the end of the tunnel has arrived because Mercury began going direct (moving forward along its normal orbit) on May 30th.
Hopefully, the past 3 weeks were a time of slowing down for all of us, because now we are in the rapid communication month of Gemini and it's ALL SYSTEMS GO!
To Chattiness Luvies,
B!

Mercury Goes Direct! - Retrograde relief is at hand, at last
By Emily Trinkaus
Three weeks can feel like a very long time when Mercury is Retrograde. Between the delays, misunderstandings, technical glitches and the general frustration of life not moving forward as quickly as you’re used to, this period can seem like one big traffic jam.
Now that Mercury is moving direct -- appearing to travel forward once again -- it’s time for YOU to move forward. Launching new projects, signing contracts, making major purchases, initiating relationships -- all the activities that were verboten during Mercury Retrograde are now safe to pursue.
And, now that the irritation level has subsided, you can appreciate the upside to these past three weeks. Upside? Well, yes. Those forced time-outs from business-as-usual actually served an important purpose, giving you an opportunity to review, reconsider and re-do aspects of your life that were sorely in need of reevaluation. Of course, you hadn’t noticed the need for reevaluation until you had to slow down, so give thanks for Mercury Retrograde!
Taking some time away from your ordinary reality helped you see situations from a fresh perspective. While your rational mind was taking a hiatus, your intuition was stronger than usual. You may have discovered innovative solutions to ongoing challenges, or a new understanding of what really matters to you.
Now it’s time to take action based on these new insights. Even though your outer world might look exactly like it did three week ago, your inner world has shifted. Give yourself a few days after Mercury changes directions to realign your inner and outer realities, and then get going!
Look up your zodiac sign below to find out how to make the most of Mercury's forward momentum!
