But this time Mercury is going retrograde from February 6-28 in quirky Aquarius and spiritual Pisces, so it might not be so bad.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, Mercury Retrograde at its best is a time to stop and think and rest and dream. Aquarius is very mental, and Pisces loves to fantasize, so this sounds like an OK combination to me.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Mercury will be spinning backward over Valentine&#8217;s Day, which isn&#8217;t the best news for lovers.
