There's so much to discover in a Mercury Retrograde cycle. We astrologers are happy everyone is catching on, but there's more to it than the usual mess up with computers, electrical appliances, cars, mail and phone messages. Especially now that we're relying more on email, cell phones and the internet, Mercury becomes more important. After all, it was the Uranus in Gemini generation that brought us these fun new toys and Gemini is a Mercury ruled planet.

You know Mercury goes retrograde three times a year but how can you tell when? If you don't have a personal relationship with an astrologer, buy a calendar from Llewellyn called the "2004 Daily Planetary Guide" (2005, 2006, etc.) It has all the key astrological information in a handy spiral bound desktop calendar that you can also use for notes and appointments. It costs $9.95.

The "Daily Planetary Guide" gives you the information you need in plain English. This little calendar is also a great way to learn more about astrology because it has good notes on moon cycles and the other retrograde planets as well.

Here's a typical retrograde experience. I was out at the golf club during the last retrograde having breakfast next to some really nice guys. They were talking about the usual when I heard one of them say, "Whatever happened to that girl you met at xxx?" The other guy replied, "When I had that climbing accident and dropped my cell phone, I lost all the stuff that was stored in it. I figured she'd call me but she never did."

I couldn't help but think of all the girls who come to me for readings wondering whether someone is going to call them but this is a typical Mercury retrograde experience.

Somewhere off to the side, the god of communication stood chuckling as this poor fellow basically got to review his whole life. What kind of phone do you get now? Did you use all the features on the other one or could you do without? Who were half the people on there anyway? How many phone numbers do you really need? How are you going to explain this to your buddies? Are you going to back up your phone records this time? Why did you take it with you anyway ... isn't the whole idea of climbing to get away from the phone? And furthermore, she's not the only girl in the world!

Mercury Guy is pretty chatty. Pretty curious. And pretty out of control during retrogrades.

The first 11 days of the retrograde cycle are the hardest. This is why. If we go without sleep for a few days (!), the unconscious and conscious minds begin to overlap or bleed into one another, causing hallucinations or confusion about what's real and not real. The dream world begins to invade the waking world. This shows us the difference between the two ways we can process information. Dreams have wisdom and guidance but their language is very different from the everyday.

When Mercury is direct (the opposite of retrograde), as it is 80 percent of the time, the conscious mind is clearly in control. We think and process information in a practical way that we've adapted to fit our needs. Usually this results in a narrow focus. To reach goals, stay in relationships and get along with everybody, we actually tune out a lot of information that doesn't fit the scheme of things.
