Run for cover! (Really, just kidding.) Mercury will turn retrograde on Monday, March 12 in Aries; it will retrograde back into Pisces on March 23 before stationing direct on April 4. Since Mercury is so slow-moving, the effects of this retrograde period could potentially be felt for a few weeks afterward (until the end of April). I’ve stated many times before that Mercury retrograde is truly not to be feared.

Mercury retrograde in Virgo favors learning and attention to detail. This is a time to question just about everything: "Why do I

While watching HGTV with my husband last night, there was a show featuring a young couple trying to purchase their first home. The home they picked out had a price tag of $259,000; they offered about $240,000 and asked for closing costs. The seller's counter offer was a staggering $258,000 and no closing costs.
