Astrology is not my Specialty but when it comes to when certain planetary influences interfering with our every day life I will send out information to you and other clients about it.  Astrologers say that the "Mercury Shadow" begins 3 weeks before the actual retro station (when Mercury passes the point of direct station for the first time), you will notice it begin when Mercury slows down, a few days before the retro station, the period of "Mercury Shadow" extends to the Return date, 3 weeks after the direct station, because experience shows that the effects of the retro period are still marked during the "shadow" phase, Some of the most characteristic annoyances often occur just after Mercury makes the direct station, while he is crawling forward before picking up speed, I always try to keep track of when mercury retrogrades a few weeks ahead of time so mark the dates on your calendar a year ahead of time to be prepared.

We should understand of the effects associated with this astrological influence, most of us are aware of it and since it happens so often, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it, although sometimes we can’t help the actions that occur each day, being aware of it ahead of time might help to reschedule certain events in advance to our control and avoid obstacles.

What happens to us when the Mercury goes into retrograde?

The influence of Mercury retrograde Mercury rules over the mind's processes, studying, communication, businesses transactions, traveling and anything moving forward. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well, the mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps the meditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, but it affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, the attention oriented outwards. Businesses, travels and communications seem to experience delays and negativity, computers and other processes that work with information may experience crashes, unexpected failures. Don't enroll to new courses, don't buy expensive items (cars, mobile phones etc.), don't make a serious new transaction or sign important documents or serious contracts and do not make any type of long term commitments until the retrograde ends.

What is Mercury retrograde good for?

It is important to reconsider, repair, reflect, and reconnect, mercury forces us to slow down and fix a problem, and in so doing, rethink about things, it also gives us time to get to projects we have put on the back-burner. This is the time to start finishing up on those projects that have been sitting waiting to be finished, I'm going to get back to my painting and finish with the cleaning out closets.  Some activities are lucky or actually improve when Mercury retrogrades, you are likely to bump into old friends that you haven't seen in years, mail that was lost for weeks or even years ago shows up during Mercury retrograde and finding lost articles that you lost years ago. Now is also a good time to dress old wounds, clean up relationships or to simply forgive and forget. Just try not to start new things that you never tried before, the key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the keywords "re-doing something", "double-checking", "complete and finish the old projects" and there you are, you've found the good side of Mercury retrograde, for instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, travel to places you've already been to before.

Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often, you will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn't performed right the first time. When it is in retrograde, some of its power is held back, when Mercury starts turning in an apparent backward motion, we will start to feel the effects of this event days or even as far as two weeks earlier.
