Mercury Retrograde Gave Me My Mojo Back

“Don’t tell me Mercury is retrograde!” my husband who knows almost nothing about astrology says. What he does know it that supposedly bad things happen during the brief period when the planet closest to the Sun appears to be going backward in its path.
Astronomically, what is happening is that the Earth overtakes the speedmeister’s relative position to the Sun and gets ahead of it.
If you take Earth as a metaphor for humans and human activity, this is exactly what happens during this period. We get ahead of ourselves, not thinking through the consequences. This is why we shouldn’t buy anything of consequence, like a house or a car, take a new job, or sign any contracts. Later, when Mercury gets back to its rightful place the consequences come to light andwe want to take it all back.
