Mercury in Retrograde

Folks, mercury is in retrograde. Do I know what that means? Not really, but it’s bad. Really bad. And it’s what I’m blaming all my problems on right now. And you can too!

What Does It Mean That Mercury Is In Retrograde?

According to NASA, Mercury in retrograde isn’t a real thing. Their official statement on the matter: “The planet does not physically start moving backwards in its orbit. It just appears to do so because of the relative positions of the planet and Earth and how they are moving around the Sun.”

According to not-NASA, because Mercury — who in Greek mythology was the winged messenger to the gods — rules communication, when the planet appears to move backwards it messes with communication (not that the Gods ever actually listened to him).

As a result, astrologers generally advise not to start projects, sign contracts, or make big purchases. They warn that delays, complications, misunderstandings are all commonplace when Mercury is in retrograde. Is it scientific? No! Are we going to blame the fact that the airline lost our luggage on it? Yes!

(We will also be getting some these cute carry-on bags to replace the ones they lost.)
