There have been some pretty spectacular examples of the kinds of snafus that Mercury retrograde periods cause in the news lately:
- Google was down for about an hour today, cutting off access to online searches and email for millions of people. More here.
- In Florida, a ban on internet cafes actually banned every computer in the state. More here.
- The comeback of Eliot Spitzer after his scandal appears to be taking off. More here.
- A “rogue flight plan” affected passengers flying in and out of Southern England today. More here.
- A computer glitch caused fireworks to malfunction in Iowa. More here.
- Last but not least, there was a higher than normal incidence of wardrobe malfunctions among stars and wanna bes. If you want to know more, just google it!
When Mercury is retrograde we often have to go back over and over something that is already completed or settled. Knowing that this is a period of time when this kind of thing can happen makes it much easier to simply go through that process without frustration. But we can utilize this time to our advantage by performing tasks that involve REvision, REevaluation, REconnecting with old friends, REsolving conflicts, REdecorating our house, REassessing our life plan.
Mercury will turn direct again on July 20th. Until then, be patient, the river may not flow through it right now.

Speaking of Mercury retrograde, doesn’t it go direct on July 20th? I can’t take another 6 days!
Yes, one more piece of evidence of Mercury Rx from Lynn!
I love Mercury Rx because I can blame all of my typos on it! Thanks Rosemary. :)
I got three cuts on my hands in two day. Ugh.
Up to my eyeballs in the re-doing, re-calculating,re-calling, re-membering, re-trying, re-thinking, re-organizing, re-emailing, re-, re-, re-……
We all should be glad that at least we know/understand about these retro periods. Imagine those who don’t and schedule a move, divorce, job, surgery etc., during a retro! Or, buying a new car or new computer. Ouch and double ouch.
Sounds like you need some RE-laxing!
I’m blaming Mercury for the terrible plane and train crashes this month. So many deaths in such a short time. I’m totally ready for this period to end too.
Mercury Rx isn’t enough to create that kind of chaos – we can all blame Uranus/Pluto for these bigger events I”m afraid.
First day of MercRx I came home to lightning having struck my home. Lost my TV, home phones, satellite, router, modem and refrigerator, etc. Also kicked off my AC but so far so good with it. Nearly 3 weeks later still without DirecTV… Insurance is covering a lot but still $500 lighter in my pocketbook! Lots of hassles this time.
