What happens when Mercury retrogrades?
You miss appointments, your computer equipment crashes, checks get lost, you find the car you just purchased during Mercury retrograde is a lemon.{GREAT-IJUST BOUGHT A CAR!} (Or, you hate your haircut, the lamp you bought shorts out, your sister hates her birthday gift.) There will be countless delays, cancellations and postponements--but know these will benefit you in the long run. Don't fight them, although your frustration level and feeling of restlessness will be hard to cope with at times.

Why would the Universe give us Mercury retrograde? Because to move forward it is sometimes necessary to backtrack and reconfigure our paths in life. It is important to reconsider, repair, reflect, and reconnect. Mercury forces us to slow down and fix what's broken, and in so doing, rethink things. It also gives us time to get to projects we have put on the back-burner.

I found a GREAT calender that shows days of the retrograde for 2004. I know that I will be checking back EVERY MONTH! So can you-ASTROPROFILE.........
He says that right now until the 7th we are in "red letter" days {slowing down period} but still in retrograde until the 17th when we will finally be back to normal!
