Mercury Retrograde Delays

Communication delays seem to happen around the world when Mercury is in Retrograde.

Every time NASA tried to send a shuttle when Mercury was retrograde, it was always delayed, so we know they don’t use astrologers!

For real estate people, buyers are more cautious and indecisive now.  Mercury retrograde mainly affects anything which has to do with communication (telephones, cell, emails, fax, Twitter) and all electronic gadgets. There is increased miscommunication caused by forgetfulness.
