Mercury is in retrograde motion about 3 times a year, lasting for 3 weeks each time. Many members focus on the bad things about this period of time, but this happens to be an excellent time for certain things!

Mercury retrograde is the time to go through your computer documents and organize and reorganize anything that is required. Make sure you have all important JoS files in order, sorted into correct files and so on. The same goes for your office desk and all other documents and paperwork.

For young people who share a computer with your parents, be very careful hiding files. It might be best to use a flash drive and keep anything “suspicious” off the computer.

This is also the time to go over any projects you are working on, and edit or revise anything. We can notice our own previously-made mistakes more during this time and fix and improve them.

If you had been working on any projects but put them aside for whatever reason, Mercury retrograde is the time to dig it out and review it, and make plans to continue with the project.

Any tedious paperwork you've been putting off, these retrograde periods are the best time to go through it all. Just don't ''sign'' anything, if at all possible.

This is also an excellent time for research. Gather information, make notes or links to everything you need.

However, the bad side can’t be ignored. Especially as this Mercury retrograde will last through the holiday season, and many people make travel plans during this season, and buy electronics on Boxing Day sales. Chances of things going wrong relating to these areas are higher.

If you don’t want to pass up the sales to buy electronics, then make sure to keep the receipt to return it if it malfunctions.

For travel plans, be aware that trips might be delayed or even canceled. I’m definitely not suggesting to cancel your plans because something might happen, but be mentally prepared that plans might change. Mental preparation reduces stress and anxiety.

And of course, Mercury retrograde causes miscommunication, which often happens in the forums during these retrograde periods. If you have to post something, go over it more carefully than usual, and know that some people might read it wrong regardless.

Mercury turns retrograde this December 13, so you have plenty of time to prepare
