Mercury is retrograde now and until July 20. As you carry out your response, I'd like you to consider the meditations of artist and activist Gabrielle Senza: "I think of Mercury retrograde as a big obnoxious Rottweiler on a chain that bares its teeth, lunging and barking as I walk by. I can choose to experience it in one of three ways: 1) as a frightening moment that catches me off guard; 2) as a humorous interlude that allows me to make fun of what I'm afraid of because I know it can't hurt me; 3) as an opportunity to change my route, usually leading to some wonderful surprise that rewards my instinct to willingly depart from my plans and projections."
