Double check your holiday travel plans now that Mercury has retrograded in this part of your chart. Likewise, if you’re going to book a vacation between now and January 12th, make sure that you receive confirmations and go over them for mistakes. The same holds true for college applications, term papers and dissertations, marketing plans, manuscripts, screen plays, and any applications that deal with government agencies, such as citizenship or the division of motor vehicles. Mercury is back spinning in the part of your chart that’s known as the “far and wide” sector—traveling long distances, getting your message out to the masses, or expressing yourself in a very public way.
