Hermes, wildly known as Mercury, was the Messenger to the Gods of Olympus in ancient Greek mythology. He was fast, with wings on his sandals and quite crafty. In astrology, when a planet like Mercury turns Rx-retrograde like it does today, October 14 to November 4, it is big news indeed. When this occurs, you will read or hear about delays, miscommunication and a general atmosphere permeated with havoc. Avoid putting your signature or make serious announcements or decisions, is also on the agenda. With Mercury in intense and secretive Scorpio, a lot can be revealed on both a personal and collective level. Shady politicians and other like minded creatures, beware. All this activity can be enough to make, even a sensible person, panic. No need for that! How to easily turn this upheaval to your benefit? Just stick to the three T’s, I like to call them, and who knows,

you can just turn it all around. Keep and stick to what has been proved to be True, Tried and Tested for you! Remember, a planet in retrograde motion means that it is out of its regular orbital path, in regards to its proximity to Earth. This change appears to be one of the reasons that such erratic events are more prominent and intense than normal. There you have it; whether changes regard your work, a project, any of your relationships or you simply may want to buy a new car or move to a different location, do your homework. Stick to what you already know, be thorough and patient. The end result can be a pleasant one indeed.
