<\/a>Mercury is still retrograde for another few days or so, and there are signs of it everywhere. \u00a0Mercury rules transportation as well as communication, and when retrograde there are often snafus and the need to repair our equipment and revise our plans<\/p>\nI\u2019m sure my readers have stories of their own to tell: disappearing emails, dropped phone calls, malfunctioning equipment, miscommunications. \u00a0There are plenty of stories in the news as well that relate to the retrograde Mercury cycle (italicized words are Mercury keywords)<\/p>\n
- \n
- Passengers are stranded <\/em>in airports all over the world from Boston to London to Moscow as winter storms bring air travel to a screeching halt.<\/li>\n
- Miscommunications <\/em>between airline pilots and air traffic controllers resulted in passengers on Cathay Pacific and British Airways planes being stuck on the tarmac<\/a> without an available gate for many hours.<\/li>\n
- The Chinese government delivered a counterattack <\/em><\/a>to Pope Benedict\u2019s criticism of Chinese religious freedoms in his Christmas message<\/em>. \u00a0It seems to me this is an area in which the Pope doesn\u2019t have much room to criticize.<\/li>\n
- Time Warner Cable makes another grab for more programming money by rejecting<\/em> a settlement offer with Sinclair Broadcasting which means Sinclair channels, including network and Fox affiliates, will go dark when the contract expires.<\/li>\n
- Consumer confidence retreated<\/em> <\/a>in December, with consumers expecting that there will be fewer jobs in 2011.<\/li>\n
- A malfunction<\/em> <\/a>of a ski lift in Maine injured nine people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
