Communications gone massively awry? That’s because mercury is in retrograde, until this Saturday, Nov. 17. Barry Perlman writes:
To review: When Mercury’s moving retrograde, our communications and transmissions get a little screwy. Computers act haywire. Important papers go lost. Transportation runs slow or strange. Etcetera, etcetera.
As I’ve said repeatedly, so many of our Merc-retro problems are self-created… by our refusal to adapt to the ‘alternate’ direction things are moving. Rather than sit in the traffic, we look for ways around it—only to find ourselves wasting an extra hour on confusing side streets, looking for the cut-through. Instead of allowing our email to be temporarily delayed, we start messing with the software… and end up causing a much-more-major outage that requires a frustrating call to the helpline.
Therefore, when things start acting weird, please take a pause. Walk away. Give it a few minutes or an hour to work itself out. Chances are, it was never ‘broken’ to begin with. And while you’re waiting, let your mind wander. Think about other things. Take a few deep breaths.
