Mercury in Retrograde is never the easiest time of the year for many of us as we tend to find blips and obstacles thrown in our path that can make things horribly stressful and confusing for us!

　　The best way to work with Mercury Retrograde is to prepare yourself. The Aquarius Mercury Retrograde can be particularly tricky for all things in the realm of technology. Aquarius is the natural ruler of communication and, hence, the world wide web which is the biggest form of communication across the globe. Being extra careful with passwords, spilling drinks around tech devices and ensuring you have the right spyware tools to keep your device is pretty essential!
