Mercury, Karma, and Retrogrades

"If you have any interest in astrology at all, know an astrologer, or simply travel through astrology sites on the web, you know what a Mercury retrograde is!

First hand experience and awareness through the years can only serve to testify to the power of this little fast moving planet and his affects for us here on Earth.

For those who do not know what a Mercury retrograde is, I will give a brief explanation of what a planetary retrograde is in general. Retrograde means ‘backward’…the planets appear to move backward from our Earth-bound perspective. "
