Mercury Retrograde- Get your gift buying done early this year

So a day or so ago Bergamot blogged about Mercury retrograde. The main issue is it is easy to lose focus and communication around the web and technology in general can and will breakdown. In addition Mercury retrograde can create personal misunderstanding generally because a piece of critical information has gone awry. When we experience Mercury retrograde it is time to slow down, be non-committal to observe and review our patterns, thereby creating a space to release what no longer serves us. In our day to day lives now is a good time to do your Christmas/Holiday Shopping but Astrologers warn the typical black Friday shopping is to be avoided if possible. If you can't do much purchasing before Thanksgiving, you can avoid some snafus by carefully planning where you will buy, for whom you will buy and when you will buy. Last minute running around will likely result in frazzled nerves, and unhappy gift giving. Per astrologist Susan Miller, it's a good year to purchase gift certificates as we may likely misinterpret what people really want. This couldn't be better news for those in the retail or spa industries. We have a special running through December 10th. Buy $100 or more in gift certificates, receive $10 in spa credit for yourself. Get on this my friends. Stay sane, stay safe- and give the gift of love!!
