In 2018, Mercury will only be retrograde during the date ranges of: 

• July 26 to August 19
• November 17 to December 6 

During this time there are problems with communication, travel delays, contracts, automobiles, and electronics. Make sure all contracts are signed before.  Allow extra time for travel and avoid signing any contracts.  Try not to make any final decisions. 

Retrograde means moving in the opposite direction of flow.  That is why we feel out of sort during mercury in retrograde.  I usually load up on crystals that helps make the transition easy.  For instance, Cherry quartz is good for anxiety, vision, healing, Amazonite is a soothing stone good for seeing both sides and different points of view.  During this time I also journal.  Now that we are out of retrograde I will take my journal out and go over the lessons I made during the retrograde period.
