Mercury Is In Retrograde: "Don't Start Anything Right Now"

On a cool astrology blog I like to stop by and visit each week called "Sage Astrology," they mentioned most recently that Mercury is in "retrograde," which means you shouldn't start anything right now. That means a big fat "no" to starting any new relationships, businesses, business relationships, financial investments; anything and everything you can think of that can literally "start," just don't do it in the next four weeks. So, by the time early November arrives, then the time will be here to start new things.

Strange, but isn't that almost a bit too perfect that that time should also be around Election Day? :) Uncanny. Ha.

But I digress. Reading this blog entry really bummed me out, as I'm wanting to or am starting a couple really big things right now (both personal and professional). One might be a new man in my life. "Should we become exclusive?" And also, my new non-profit which I'm co-founding to bring awareness to and support SCI research, via regenerative medicine and nanotechnology. Technically we "started" it legally in July, but our website launch will definitely be happening in the next week (if our website designer csn get his butt in gear). Should I wait till November to make our site "live" till Nov?

I don't think so. That would really be the stupidest thing ever. But as a believer in astrology, I am at conflict with this decision. Some things, no matter what the planets may be saying, cannot be put on hold. I do feel sorry for anyone getting married in the next four weeks though. They'll need all the luck they can get.
