#FashionGirlProblems: Why Mercury In Retrograde Seriously Sucks
Around the beginning of every month, our world is flooded with smart, savvy, put-together ladies, who are (seemingly) uncontrollably whipped into a frenzy in anticipation of a new month's horoscope. We'd be hard-pressed to find a gal (or guy) who doesn't have Susan Miller's Astrology Zone bookmarked for frequent viewing throughout the month.
But, unfortunately for us (and the rest of the world; this stuff is for real, y'all!), we've been hit with the news that starting this week, Mercury is officially in retrograde. And any zodiac devotee knows that this is very bad news. But how many of us really know why?
In basic astrological speak, this means Mercury appears to move backward relative to the sun. In lay(wo)man's terms (thanks to a little intel from one of our fave astrologers, Virginia Bell), it means that all forms of communication, transportation, and decision-making will be messed up. Got any big decisions looming on the horizon? Well, don't sign that new lease just yet.
After consulting with a few starry pros, we've assembled a little cheat-sheet for understanding (and surviving) Mercury Retrograde...oh, and did we mention that old boyfriends are likely to pop up during MR, too?
