Happy Mercury Retrograde!

Our Travel, Tech and Communication ally is encouraging us to slow down, retreat and let go. Here are some travel tips for navigating this mercurial moment lasting from mid-July thru early August:

-Focus on finishing up lingering projects rather than starting new ones (unless you've been thinking about 'em for a long time)
-Take some time to retreat, reflect, re-create and re-group (words starting with RE are encouraged)
-Back up your computer, get gear repaired, if sh*t starts breaking, go for a walk, it might just work when you get back
-Understand that misunderstandings aren't personal, seek to slow down and communicate without words
-Laugh at the absurdity of it all
-Look for the trickster's higher purpose for the mischief (but don't expect to find the answers)

How have you made mercury retrograde work for you?
