London in November
This month Mercury will be in retrograde
motion (moving backwards) from the 14th right
through until the 4th of December. As I said before in my
astro-analysis of London, this can be a trying time because
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, has traditional associations with
the city. There may be more travel misery in store for
Londoners - transport may get delayed or journeys cancelled.
Traffic jams are likely too as is getting lost if you are on
your way to somewhere unfamiliar. My advice: take extra care
when planning journeys - leave a bit more time to get there
and be sure to double-check directions or that you are
reading the map correctly.
Mercury happens to
be in Sagittarius, which rules long-distance and foreign
travel, when this happens, making things trickier than
usual. Not only will local travel be a nightmare, flights
and rail travel to the continent may be hit too. Have
contingency plans. Get to the airport or station early,
confirm all your bookings and don’t leave your passport
behind.
Computers also tend
to get slowed up or crash so be sure to back up. Faxes,
e-mails and letters may go missing so check up on any post
you may be expecting if it hasn’t turned up and use the
insurance or tracking options if you plan to send something
valuable in the mail. With regard to legal documents, make
sure you read contracts thoroughly or you may miss a clause
you later wish you had queried.
Mix-ups and confusion is common as is poor communication
which can lead to misunderstandings and mishaps.
On the positive side, this is a good time to revisit any
unresolved communication issues you may have in your past.
When Mercury is travelling backwards he can sometimes take
you back to a place in your past where you left something
unsaid or didn’t explain yourself properly and allow you the
opportunity to clear things up, make-up with someone you had
a row with or simply explain yourself a little better. This
is one of those second chance moments - the ones you wish
you had when you regret something you did or said – use it
and put things to rights.
