\"mercury<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether we like it, dismiss it or dread it, Mercury is again retrograde until June 11.<\/p>\n

We are independent, modern people and often try to will away the influence of the planets\u2014but we are more affected than we know. In fact, even stardust, dwarf planets, solar flares and everything else has an impact on our consciousness. Scientists are discovering this with quantum physics, the yogis knew it, Greek philosophers understood it, and even a famous quote by Leonardo da Vinci summarized it: \u201cEverything is connected with everything and anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

But more than anything, the nine Vedic planets closest to Earth (seven actual planets and two lunar nodes) are the most influential.<\/p>\n

So, does Mercury retrograde affect us? Absolutely. But we are not victims and in fact, our free will coupled with astrological knowledge can rescue us from mistakes, delays and other predicaments.<\/p>\n

Here are 6\u00a0techniques to make sure you don\u2019t suffer from any of the disruptions usually caused by this less-than-ideal transit.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Not the end of the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being passionate about astrology, for years I\u2019ve been alert during Mercury retrogrades bracing myself for computer breakdowns. Happily, I never experienced anything like that. And I never lost a file.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s a good idea to save your passwords in a safe place and keep another copy of important contacts handy\u2014I bought a new phone in a retrograde and lost all my contacts and other information when it went blank\u2014I mean totally dead. I was very glad when I retrieved the content the next day (despite other problems). So, everything will turn out fine in most cases.<\/p>\n

2. A delay can work in your favor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever had to postpone a trip, a meeting, or even writing a report, only to discover that an unexpected delay gave you an opportunity to revise your work and improve it? This is often the case when Mercury is retrograde: re-thinking, re-vising, re-working are antidotes to our constant rushing. Our work can then benefit.<\/p>\n

\"daydream<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Enjoy some daydreaming<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, we like daydreaming\u2014yet seldom admit it. We feel guilty wasting time that could be used to tackle our to-do list. So while our ordinary communication gets stuck, we can just give ourselves permission to take a break and daydream about what we truly want. That is precisely how we manifest our dreams\u2014we imagine them, visualize them, enjoy them in our minds, and then realize them.<\/p>\n

4. Create beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury in Taurus\u2014retrograde or not\u2014is still exchanging signs with Venus in Gemini, making this a highly creative time. Poetry, painting, book or blog writing, sculpting and all art media can now turn into lovely artworks. Unlike some contemporary art exploring dramatic themes or politics, your creations will be aesthetically beautiful, thanks to the influence of Venus.<\/p>\n

5. Connect and network<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a time for ending procrastination. If you have been meaning to network or learn something new, this is a perfect opportunity. Often unforeseen circumstances (typical of Mercury retrogrades) push us out of our comfort zone. Perhaps you can now research a subject that you\u2019ve put aside. Mars\u2019 notoriously pushy energy, now influencing Mercury, will help you to take action.<\/p>\n

6. Celestial communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

The odds will be in your favor when you connect with Mercury meditating on his form: a male being dressed in green robes. Talk to him, ask for help. Repeat his special sound waves\u2014OM BUDHAYA NAMAHA<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Devotion to a planet\u2019s overlord can help immensely: you can ask Vishnu to remove difficulties caused by Mercury. Call on Vishnu with his sound vibrations\u2014OM NAMO NARAYANAYA<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the energies!<\/p>\n
