How to use these dates

Mercury does not really go backwards: it is an effect of perspective as Earth and Mercury move along their orbits. Astrology treats these weeks as a time to slow down, reread and double-check anything to do with messages, travel and plans. Nothing is forbidden. Many people simply use the dates as a reminder to finish what is half done before starting something new.
