Mercury's Retrograde Brings Back the Past (Feb 13 thru Mar 7)
Retrograde station is the point where the planet changes directions, so it appears to be holding still in the sky. A few days prior and a few days after February 13, while Mercury is at retrograde station, things may be a bit difficult. Mercury is the ruler of the mind and communication, and he also governs travel. Some of us, especially Gemini's and Virgo's, will find that our minds just are not functioning as they usually do. If you have any planets between 8 and 12 degrees in Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Gemini, the few days of Mercury's Retrograde station may prove to be just plain nonproductive. During this retrograde station, we may forget things or feel confused. Conversations and correspondence could be misunderstood. Internet communications may not connect including Internet banking. Be sure to back up your computer files, because Mercury can cause your computer to crash. This is also NOT a good time to have "that talk" with a loved one.
After Mercury gets turned around and moving in his backward motion, from approximately February 15 through March 5, it will be a time for exploring the past. It may be a good time to go back and look over past contracts and correspondence. It will be a great time for any kind of homecomings. Ex-partners from past relationships are also more likely to return. I like to go ghost hunting during Mercury's retrograde. The division between us and those past over becomes more translucent at this time.
A few days prior and a few days after March 7 will be the most difficult period of this transit. Usually the retrograde is most powerful when the planet is in the process of changing to a forward direction, direct station. Try to avoid signing any contracts for these few days, and do not make any life changing decisions at this time. There could be delays and detours with travel, so be prepared, and again be sure computer files are backed-up. There could be communication misunderstandings so pay attention to detail when relaying messages, and be ready to send another in case the first gets lost. Those of us with planets between 23 and 27 degrees in Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio, may find that this direct station is especially inhibiting. The planets affected will determine what areas of our life that will be affected.
Mercury's retrograde will be from 10 degrees Pisces through 25 degrees Aquarius. Check your natal chart to see which houses Mercury will be affecting for you, and to see if he may be aspecting any of your natal planets. Where this aspect lands in your houses determine what areas of your life that will be affected
