New Moon is on Saturday March 17 ^th. This new moon arrives prior to the exact Mercury Retrograde but during the pre-phase. Use this new moon to set intention and trust that the results of these intentions may not take form till well after Mercury goes direct.

 

Mercury retrograde is from March 22 ^nd – April 15 ^th – Mercury retrogrades often force us to re-do and slow down. With Mercury retrograde in Aires we will feel the results of actions that are too hasty. Breathe, count to ten and trust the moment. Future planning during a Mercury retrograde will later force us back to the “drawing board”. Mercury retrograde forces us into the moment and forces us to slow down. I have often encouraged clients to employ the 24-hour rule when they are “on the fence” or feel reactive in a situation. Often if we “sit” with something it transforms and changes. This allows us to see it and react to it from a new, often more powerful, angle. During this Mercury retrograde slow down, double check and allow yourself more time to breath. And let's wait on buying technology items or signing binding contracts.
