Over the years of studying Mercury retrograde I have learned, as have others that it doesn’t always deserve the bad rap it gets in pop astrology. In other words, things don’t always turn out horribly when we have a Mercury retrograde period.
Yes, our observation of the Mercury retrograde phenomenon is literally an illusion. It’s rooted in the ancient Ptolemaic model of a geocentric universe. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore Mercury retrograde.
As Kristin Dombek noted last week in her thought-provoking article on “Retrograde Beliefs” in the New York Times Magazine, (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/magazine/retrograde-beliefs.html?_r=0 ) Mercury retrograde adds value to our human experience. And, as the data in Mercury, Money & The Markets (http://harmonicresearchassociates.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=113) reveals, Mercury retrograde can also add value to the stock market.
So what about this month—January and next month—February? What about the present Mercury retrograde period starting at 17º Aquarius?
In 1936, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained almost 7% during that Mercury retrograde cycle! And that’s not all. The market activity in January 1936 before the Mercury retrograde period began is also a match for this present retrograde cycle (Jan-Feb). It closely parallels the market activity we’ve seen so far this month, January 2015.
There are even more 1936 and 2015 correspondences. You’ll find them in the current issue of the FinancialCyclesWeekly newsletter (https://www.financialcyclesweekly.com/members/login.cfm?hpage=Newsletter-for-January-1824-2015.cfm.) it’s worth reading if you’re currently trading in any market.
But even if you’re not in the markets now, pay attention to the Mercury retrograde period that’s starting on January 21. You might be surprised to hear some good news during the following weeks.
And don’t forget February 11, when the Mercury retrograde period ends. That date may or may not have anything to do with Social Security. : ) But good things could happen.

Dear Joleen: it is certainly unexpected that Mercury retrograde, could bring some good news in the stock markets> Could it be that the Iraq dinar currency will finally enter the stock exchange international market? It would certainly be a welcome in the international arena.
Can you share what does it mean to haves Mercury retrograde in the natal chart?

Hi. I can give you a “general” answer regarding the influence of a retrograde Mercury in a person’s birth horoscope. Essentially it means that the field of personal communication is an area where, throughout one’s life, they will find themselves having to retract what they originally stated/said with a revision. It is believed by some that those who have a retro Mercury in the natal chart are less affected during the various annual/seasonal retrograde periods, however I haven’t personally found that to be accurate. Another belief is that wherever one finds a retrograde planet in his/her chart…there is “work to be done” due to past life errors. Again, I’m “speaking” generally.
Love, Joleen
