Felissa Rose - Mercury Retrograde on Sunday April 18, 2010

Eminent astrology Felissa Rose offers her assessments and insights into the upcoming Spring 2010 Mercury retrograde period:

Mercury will be going retrograde on Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 12:07 am EDT in 12 degrees 47 minutes of Taurus. It turns direct on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 6:28 pm EDT in two degrees 41 minutes of Taurus.

The planet Mercury governs thought and communication, the sign Taurus money and finances. Put them together and trying to decide what to do with one’s money, if one is fortunate to have any, comes into play. People born with Mercury retrograde tend to think things over and over again, often returning after much deliberation, to their initial conclusion. During this period many of us tend to take on some of this trait.

Mercury Retrograde individuals are adept at investigation and research as well as frequently being excellent writers. Take this period to explore what financial and investment choices are available because information often emerges after Mercury is no longer retrograde that could alter one’s course of action. After Mercury is no longer retrograde banks and other institutions frequently implement new policies which can work in one’s favor. Decision making and action are asleep during the retrograde so investigate, bone up on your facts and act after Mercury has gone direct.

Mercury will return to 12 degrees 47 minutes of Taurus on Friday, May 28, 2010, at the point it went retrograde. If you can wait that long to take action it would be best as info is even clearer from that date on. The next Mercury retrogrades in 2010 take place on August 20 to September 12 and December 10 to December 30.
