This particular Mercury Retrograde has been a tough one for, everyone. I wrote about this right when it began and it doesn't cease to to amaze me to see its proof. It's nature and we are nature, too.

Right when it started I lost a laptop computer, myself. :)

Mercury retrograde is about taking a break and reflecting on what's already in your life - not starting anything new. To work on what you have.

Not really a good time to communicate, either.

It's about energy - a time for rest, as the planet itself rests. It's a "downtime" period.
