“You can’t force simplicity, but you can invite it in by finding as much richness as possible in the few things at hand.” Thomas Moore
“Make everything as simple as possible.” Albert Einstein
I have a friend who had been waiting expectantly to hear if she has been accepted into a nursing program at a nearby college. The date by which they would let her know was April 1 – the day Mercury turns retrograde this spring.
She had heard that normally the acceptance letters were sent close to that date. But this year, as it turns out, was different. As an email explained, they had received so many applications, they needed more time to process them. And so acceptance letters would go out by April 15.
Mercury with station retrograde on April 1 at 27 degrees of Aries and the retrograde period will last through April 25 when it will station direct at 15 degrees of Aries.
There often are delays and changes in plans under the retrograde influence -which can extend to several days before and after the exact stations.
It’s wise to pay more attention to detail when it comes to communications. Best to make sure important information is backed up.
It’s a good time to rethink, redo and renew.
Throughout the month there is significant planetary activity including the Solar Eclipse on the 8th, the Saturn/Mars conjunction on the 10th and the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction on the 20th. During all of these events, Mercury will be retrograde.
It’s best throughout the month to slow down. And keep it simple.
