2010-Mercury-Retrograde
A planet is described to be in retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. Actually this is an illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth with relation to other planets in the solar system. Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way due to this cosmic shadow-play.
|
The planet Mercury rules thinking and perception and all types of communication. When Mercury goes retrograde it gives rise to personal misunderstandings. There would be delays, flaws and hitches in all communication related areas like transportation,trade,etc. Astrologers advise not to make any important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely that such decisions will be marred by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking.
The following calendar for year 2010 denotes the period when Mercury is in retrograde motion when shaded in yellow. The days in grey background are the Shadow periods and the days marked in Red font are said to be erratic when Mercury move very slowly.

Note:
- The yellow shaded
days are when Mercury is Retrograde in 2010
- The days marked
in Red are erratic when Mercury moves very slowly.
- The days with grey
background are in the Shadow period.
