\"Prepare<\/a>As if things like presidential elections and the holidays aren’t already hectic enough, get ready for this: Mercury goes retrograde on Election Day, and it spins backward right on through Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Mercury Retrograde always messes with travel, communication and technology for everyone, but it seems like it always gets to me more than some people. I guess that’s because I’m a Gemini and Mercury is my ruling planet.<\/p>\n

So when Mercury goes retrograde from Tuesday, Nov. 6 to Monday, Nov. 26, I expect some things to go wrong — but that’s ok, because I think knowing and preparing for it is half the battle.<\/p>\n

I’m going to vote early — that way I think there’s less of a chance for my ballot to get lost in the mail. And I would urge you do to the same.<\/p>\n

Also, I’ll be traveling down to Southern Oregon for Thanksgiving, so I’m going to make sure we get the van checked out before we make the long road trip.<\/p>\n

Another thing to watch for during Mercury Retrograde is some romantic confusion, and maybe even old lovers creeping back into your life. I sure don’t need either of those things, but I’m ready if it happens! C’mon Mercury, bring it!<\/p>\n
