Mercury Retrograde

As of today, December 10 Mercury has gone retrograde.  What does that mean?  Well, it is an opportunity to reflect on what has happened... and supposedly you should not make any major decisions or sign any contracts during this period.  I have found that int the past it has been impossible to not make major moves during this period and often end up moving during a mercury retrograde.  However, if you set something in motion before this period I think that is a helpful benefit to the change.  Difficulties in communication can be known to occur during retrograde periods... Think before you speak.
