Mercury Retrograde Travel Alert!

by Mark Dodich

Mercury, the messenger of the godsBetween May 15th and June 8th, the planet Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Gemini. This notorious cycle is known for communications and scheduling breakdowns. The optical illusion of Mercury moving backwards in the sky may have you feeling that certain aspects of your life are moving in reverse, or at least in need of reassessment and reorganization. Take care of needed auto repairs and computer back-up prior to this cycle. If you are going to be on an airplane, be certain to pack your toothbrush in your carry-on luggage. The main thing to remember during this heightened anxiety cycle is that the Universe has a bigger plan for you. When you attempt to excessively control your life, the Universe is likely to remind you that your little mind is not in charge. Be flexible! Use this retrograde cycle as an opportunity to review the higher plan that wants to work in your life. The blessing is that you can now reassert that higher vision in a way that can easily and effortlessly manifest.
