Scotty note:
Attention True Believers, Mercury is in retrograde and it's time to panic* (*may not be time to panic)
- What to Expect:
According to the experts at the publication/ life guide, The Cut, this particular Merc Retro began in the constellation of Aries and that aint great. Until March 29 they say your temper may run HOT, you may make "bold declarations" that end badly, and you may have terrible encounters with technology.
Great news though, after March 29th things only get slightly more disastrous! Mercury moves into Pisces. and "all bets are off." Expect poor communication, lack of clarity, and a scarcity of "logic".
- How to Survive:
Recommendations include double-checking all facts, hit the pause button before making decisions, confirm all plans before acting, and for heaven's sake don't send any emails in haste. DO NOTHING THAT YOU'LL REGRET LATER!
