We are now entering the “Dark of The Moon’”, which is an imaginative way of describing a New Moon. Astrologers tell us that we all become more psychic for the couple of days each month that the moon is so near the sun it becomes almost invisible.

Nothing so romantic for Mercury, however, when it starts to slip slowly “backwards” through the zodiac in a few days. That occurrence, which happens for three weeks or so, three times a year, is described as “Mercury going retrograde”. It suggests delays with communication, transportation and commerce.

The advice, then, is to act on strong hunches in the next few days before Mercury starts to play havoc with our communications.
