The next Mercury Retrograde will take place from March 23, 2018 to April 15, 2018. For those of you who do not know what a Mercury Retrograde is, please study the depiction below:
Mercury appears to be "moving backwards" with the Earth "catching up" per orbital movement. The truth is that Mercury never appears to go backward; it only appears that way relative to the zodiac.
Mercury Retrogrades take place 3-4 times a year and last about three weeks per Retrograde. Mercury Retrogrades are annoying in the sense of all the issues and problems that take place during the Retrograde phase.
These issues and problems include:
- electronic issues/problems
- traffic light & moving vehicle accident issues/problems
- household appliance issues/problems
- major catastrophes, usually due to individual error
- internet & telephone connection issues/problems
- communication miscues and failures at the workplace
- computer printer/appliances issues/problems
- air traffic issues/problems & near-misses by aircraft
- international conflicts due to communication miscues and failures

March 23rd: Spring 2018 Mercury Retrograde Begins
There are two things that stand out with this Mercury Retrograde horoscope above, and they both seem to point at "secretive areas about to be exposed." The first zodiac point to look at is the Conjunction of the Scorpio-Ruling asteroid Vesta (in the 1st House) with the Galactic center (at 27 degrees Sagittarius 17 Minutes). Important conjunctions with the Galactic Center are notorious for bringing out shocking secrets and scandals; the Harvey Weinstein Scandal took place in 2017 with Saturn Conjunction Black Moon at 27 degrees Sagittarius (and this same Saturn Conjunction Black Moon aspect was also forming a Square to Ashley Judd's natal horoscope Uranus at 26 degrees Virgo during the media coverage of her Weinstein sexual harassment allegation). I interpret this Vesta Conjunction Galactic Center as possibly providing a similar exposure of shocking secrets, except this time it will concern areas of espionage, the occult, sexuality, and political power. The second zodiac point to look at is Sun/Chiron ~= Zero Degrees Aries (or, the midpoint of Sun and Chiron is approximately equal to the world point at Zero Degrees Aries). I interpret Sun/Chiron to be defined as "involvement with very advanced technology of a surveillance nature" (and this is based on the fact that both the C.I.A. and Israel have the Sun and Chiron in aspect with each other in a VERY STRONG WAY). For those of you who reply to me (and I hear this all the time) that "CHIRON IS THE HEALER AND CAN NEVER HAVE BAD QUALITIES," I say this: you are PARTIALLY correct. This is because all zodiac planets (both hypothetical and non-hypothetical), asteroids, luminaries (Sun, Moon, stars), and planetoids (Chiron, Pluto) have qualities that are good, bad, and neither. Failure to recognize this reality of astrology defines one to be out of touch with the many facets of astrology. Hence, with Sun/Chiron ~= Aries, there is the possibility of issues/problems concerning high-level surveillance (i.e. illegal spying) during this Mercury Retrograde of Spring 2018.
