Anyone involved in communications can attest to periods of time---lasting about three weeks, three to four times a year---when even the most simple messages seem to be wildly misinterpreted. Also during this time, mechanical and electronic things tend to break down out of the blue. An astrologer will tell you that this happens when Mercury is retrograde---a phenomenon that almost everyones heard of but nobody really understands. Wilkinson offers the inside scoop on Mercury retrograde, teaching you how to play it to your own advantage. He also offers ways to value Mercury retrograde people, projects, and situations to make the best of Mercury retrograde energies. For astrologers, Wilkinson describes a wide variety of ways a retrograde Mercury may manifest for each sign, and provides lists of characteristics showing how the energy behaves in the signs and houses in natal, progressed, return, and transit charts.
