Retrograde planets display an erratic motion which is linked to delays, recurrences, returns to previous conditions, reversals of events, and unexpected events occurring suddenly or becoming more dramatic and intense.
A Mercury retrograde period is a difficult time to begin new projects linked to communication, networking, information-flow and travel. Extra caution is needed to ensure that messages are clearly understood and delivered; this often involves slowing things down and ensuring that compromises are not made for the sake of speed.
Mercury retrograde reminds us that efficiency is built upon stability, so think of it as a maintenance period, ideal for revisiting old problems that call for action but lay ignored. If communication problems exist, Mercury retrograde will bring them back to your attention. By taking time out to resolve them now you will be better equipped to make smooth progress in the future.

Ooohhhh yes, this has happened to me on Monday where i'm still livid someone had got the wrong end of the proverbial stick!!! 😡
warmest wishes-calla lily x
Funny you should ask that Fleur, but Yes. I had a dinner arrangement for Tuesday go all pear-shaped on the Monday. Is this really going to last for 3 weeks?:rolleyes::( I think I'll hibernate ..............:):)
I was chasing me tail all day Thursday, trying to get some information from a hospital, I phoned them,they phoned me, I phoned them back,,,kept missing each other, then nobody there knew what I was ringing for when someone else had told me to ring back....blah di blah 😡
No appointsments going wrong, but other things. Of course this apparent phenomena occurs every four months for approximately 22 days, so we can't hold out too long on getting the right machinery, travel arrangements, appointsments.
We are currently going through a phase of retrograde Mercury in Air signs - My laser printer conked out yesterday. It is also the worst time to buy any machinery including cars, computers, telephones answering machines anything mechanical. Best to wait until mid February and read all the reviews and thoroughly research the subject in the meantime.
It's not all doom and gloom as its a good time to access the unconscious, a little reminder that the God Mercury was the only one who could transverse all realms - he's not called the messenger for nothing.;)
It's also a good time to reassess priorities - minor irritations can arise like lost documents, faulty machinery, broken promises, well-intentioned but misleading information etc. Use this time to get rid of complications and most of all to receive important insights from your meditations, dreams and
inner visions.
I thought it was amazing that all survived the US plane crash on the Hudson River - could it turn out that this was a case of faulty machinery? or did indeed a flock of birds cause two engines to fail.
You never know what to expect with Mercury after all he is the Trickster.
