Consultantdrewjlawrence (AT) hotmail (DOT) comwww.drewlawrence.comDear Friends and

Clients,It is that time once again. Mercury will travel retrograde or backwards

in motion from March 20.05 until April 13.05. This affects everyone and

everything on the planet. This period lasts about three weeks and occurs about

3 times a year. It may have more specific indications with reference to your

birth chart, but we will endeavor to give the more general effects below.Since

Mercury is the planet that represents communication, a retrograde Mercury

usually brings problems and difficulties

with communications, automobiles and vehicles, phone systems, travel,

transportation, lost luggage, delayed or cancelled flights, mail delivery,

computers, internet connections, information technology, and contractual

agreements. It can cause delays, setbacks and last-minute changes in plans and

arrangements as well as breakdowns of machinery and equipment. The difficulties

are for the most part minor but irritating in nature.People become more

introspective when Mercury is Rx. The thought process has a greater inward

focus. People tend to be more thoughtful, contemplative, reflective and

meditative. Self-examination is the order of the day. This is the time when the

subconscious mind will come to the forefront and the conscious mind will

retreat. Knowledge tends to be absorbed as opposed to learned during Rx

Mercury. It is a far better time to sort things through in your own mind with

your "Self" rather than having that

overdue "talk" with your partner or friend since that may lead to

miscommunication and not provide the sought-after resolution.People become

slower and more deliberate in their response patterns which is generally a good

thing as long as patience is also applied. But this can sometimes create

problems in getting your point across. That's why this is not the best time to

make important decisions or enter into negotiations or the signing of

contracts, agreements or mortgages. It would be better to lure business clients

away from the bargaining table and out to a leisurely lunch. Look for that

closing handshake after April 13.05.We realize business must continue and life

still goes on but really important matters that can be postponed should be

until after April 13.05. This is no time to start a business or begin a major

project. If it doesn't have to get there tomorrow and it doesn't have to be

said today, save it. Have

that little "heart-to-heart" with your own heart.For those of you who like to

chant mantras or prayers of protection, then you may want to chant the

following mantra to help overcome the adverse effects of Mercury Retrograde.

Repeat it a minimum of seven times per day."Om shree budhaaya namaha."CLIENT

COMMENTS ABOUT RETROGRADE MERCURY"I read your email with great interest about

Mercury going retrograde. This is because the last two times Mercury went

retrograde, I signed two contracts which turned into big problems for

me.Although I knew Mercury was retrograde, I thought, "What could go wrong?

I'm going to be selling a piece of land and it's pretty cut and dry. I sign

the papers. They get the land, I get the money and everyone goes home. And

Mercury is retrograde for them too, so it should even

out.It didn't work that way. At the settlement, there arose a dispute over

taxes and I had to leave $27,000 in escrow at the table. That was about a year

ago and I'm still waiting to resolve the matter and get my money

back."Businessman"My publisher told me that the all computers at the press went

on the blink the very day Mercury turned retrograde which he said he almost

couldn't believe because it was too much out of an astrological text

book."Writer"Thank you for all the info about Mercury Retrograde. I have just

returned from South Africa without my luggage which arrived four days later.

Interesting!"Nurse"Since Mercury went retrograde, I've been dealing with

internal and external hacker issues on my web sites, server issues, mail server

issues, major web site issues, firewall issues, cancelled insurance issues,

merchant account

issues, landlord issues, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and on. When we get

one issue buttoned down, two more pop up. My programmers, techies and staff are

all somewhat exhausted because of all the stuff that is getting thrown at

us."Businessman"I think I'm finally finishing up with all the spastic deals

from the Mercury retrograde period! Only one fell out. The others were pure

hell but they closed!"Real Estate Agent"Thanks for the email regarding the

retrograde Mercury. My patients were all four times more intense that whole

period!"Psychologist"The computer blew up yesterday and I lost my complete hard

drive. The ironblew up. The electric gates went on the blink and the switch for

all the lights in the kitchen broke. After all this, I blew up!"HomemakerPLEASE
