A few facts about Mercury retrograde. February 17 – March 10, 2020

The first Mercury retrograde this year began on February 17 and will end on March 10. It will last 22 days. This is a great time to temporarily take a break from shopping, a great chance to save money instead of spending it. Indeed, many people already know very well that during Mercury retrograde you need to avoid big purchases, with the exception of, of course, of necessary daily shopping trips. During this period, there is a high probability that a new purchase may ultimately either disappoint you, or turn out to be a useless and unnecessary thing, or perhaps even have a flaw or a defect. So there you go! Of course, store owners can go nuts on me for saying that, but the simple truth is that most often than not this rule works

I would also like to add that you should not start new business ventures, projects, change jobs, or move somewhere, because Mercury retrograde is not the best time for this – you may encounter unforeseen difficulties and obstacles, and will have to start all over again in the future. On the other hand, it is a good time to put your documents, records and plans in order, review your current projects or go back to solving an old problem.

A specific nature of current Mercury retrograde it starts in Pisces and ends in Aquarius, which means that you need to be as careful as possible about concluding any contracts or transactions –you need to carefully take into account each detail and do not leave any items vague or open to different interpretation. You need to try to be as thorough as possible in these matters.

During this period, you might encounter serious problems with communications, connections; your document management and other bureaucratic matters may also be affected – things will move slowly, with moans and groans, and in unclear direction.

This period is very well suited for creative work, immersing in your dreams and meditations. The content of your thoughts is much more important than its formal aspects.
