Three times a year the planet Mercury appears to run backwards.  It’s called retrograde.  It is horrendous for those of us (me and my Gemini daughter) who are ruled by this insane orb.  Here is what you need to know:  it begins at noon:25 (on the West coast) the 28th of now, this month (just around the corner).  And it runs through 6:53 p.m. February 18th.  Do NOT start anything while this is happening.  Do NOT buy a: computer, phone, car, communicative device of any kind.  The only way to survive it is to be introspective.  Read an old book you already know the ending to, stay home, keep away from the phone, avoid the lawyer’s office.  For the sake of Buddah, protect yourself and the ones you love!
