This Mercury retrograde will feel like a cosmic monkey wrench has been thrown into the running operations of your day-to-day life. It will be the things that you take for granted that will cause the most aggravation now. This is why you will want to make sure that your car is in top shape, that you wrote down the right time for the appointment in your daily planner, and that you put the decimal point in the right place when writing out a check or you could wind up paying out more than you owe. You might also consider adding two weeks to any pressing deadline because there’s bound to be a last minute complication or unexpected delay. Signs most affected: Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, and Capricorn
