Mercury in retrograde

-

IT’S that period again when miscommuni­cation seems to be the word of the day, important documents can be misplaced, computers can go on the blink, cars and equipment can break down, traffic is more terrible than usual, appointmen­ts can be missed, travel plans can go awry, and misunderst­andings are more common.

This is because Mercury is in retrograde. The planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky, and when this happens, communicat­ion and travel, which the planet governs, can go awry.

Generally, it is not a good idea to start a new project, get married, have surgery, sign contracts, and buy computers, cars, or major equipment during the period.

Mercury retrograde­s last for about three weeks, so wait until it is over before making a major move. If it is absolutely unavoidabl­e to make a major decision, or in emergency situations, keep your cool, be more meticulous, tick all the boxes and wear the crystal that will bring you success in spite of obstacles.

Mercury is in retrograde from August 12, 2017, until September 5, 2017.

This retrograde is in Virgo and Leo. Expect co-workers and the people around you to be more touchy than usual. Don’t take it personally if people snap at you out of the blue or are more sensitive. Cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s in contracts. Check and review before submitting documents and e-mails. Take it in stride when computers, cars and equipment break down. This is also not a good period to invest in the stock market.

So how do you survive Mercury retrograde whichever zodiac sign it is in? 1. This is the period to think before you speak. Misunderst­andings occur frequently during Mercury retrograde­s, so choose your words with care. Be clear with what you mean to say, and as much as possible, do not get into arguments and say things in anger-- you’d regret them later. 2. Expect computer glitches—go back up your files ASAP. At the same time, if you can avoid it, don’t buy computers or electronic gadgets during this period. Be patient with your net connection. It is common for net to be slow or at times absent during Mercury retrograde. 3. If you’re booking for flights or hotels, double check the names, dates, locations twice or even thrice before you make the final click. If you’re travelling to the airport, be there hours ahead of time. Expect delays, you can get stuck in traffic, so head out a lot earlier than usual and bring provisions with you. 4. Maintain your car and equipment regularly. It is a good idea to schedule a check-up before Mercury retrograde. For those who like to peek at their cell phones while driving, this is a definite no-no. 5. Awareness is the key to keeping track of your

documents and other important papers. 6. Keep your cool and be more patient. Take a deep breath and count to 10 when people don’t get your instructio­ns or misunderst­and what you say. It’s part of the retrograde. Mercury retrograde­s are not all that bad. These periods are good for reflecting, reviewing, renovating.

You’ll do fine now that you’re armed with what you need to know about these periods

Moreover, free tertiary education should not be at the expense of universal basic (elementary and high school) education. The latter should remain as a higher priority over the former. Government cannot wait to act until it can do it right the first time only to end up doing nothing. The polls show that the majority (those excluded by an elitist system) approves of it acting on whatever is worth doing even badly. SSCebu
