I'm going to preface this by saying I don't believe or follow astrology 100%... but I think there is something to this Mercury business.
"Mercury's retrograde periods can cause our plans to go awry. However, this is an excellent time to reflect on the past. Intuition is high during these periods, and coincidences can be extraordinary.
When Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow time for extra travel, and avoid signing contracts. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions."
In 2014, Mercury will be retrograde during:
February 6–28
June 7–July 2
October 4–25
