Sometimes the combo of vacation and Mercury retrograde is a joy. I learned that most thoroughly for the first time more than 20 years ago. It was a few days after we'd bought non-refundable plane tickets on a buufget that then didn't allow for flexibility that I realized we were flying south to the Gulf of Mexico on the first day of a Mercury retrograde cycle.\\True confession: I had a moment of , Oh no, the plane will fall out of the sky or something, but then I got a grip.
"OK, chances are better than I can imagine that that's not going to happen," I said to myself. I reminded myself that catastrophizing wasn't going to help. I reminded myself thar if I were my client, I'd probably ask me, "Well, what do you think might be the best thing that could happen in these circumstances?"
I couldn't think of anything. I packed an extra novel in my carry-on bag, in case we were delayed at the airport.
But the next day, reality bit. I realized that this Mercury retrograde vacation we'd scheduled so casually was going to be the first non-working vacation I'd taken in almost 10 years. And that was certainly an out-of-the-ordinary -- that is, retrograde -- enough use of time to suit anyone. Even that Mercury transit. Even me.
We had a great time, of course, and now we have the privilege of taking one or two vacations a year. In fact, we're setting out for Maine tomorrow morning. I can hardly wait to see what happens this time.
