Mercury, the planet of sales and communications, turns retrograde in the sign of Pisces.  It’s never advisable to buy, sell, or speculate while this planet is moving backwards in the sky.  That’s because Mercury goes from being the planet of shopkeepers to being the planet of shoplifters during this time. The retrograde lasts until March 28th, so avoid making any big purchases, promises, and pledges if you can. For those of you who are already engaged in a business transaction then you should add two weeks to your expected deadline.  This will help you to deal with any unforeseen delays or last minute wrinkles that are bound to arise.  Signs most affected: Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces
