Mercury retrograde favors review: contract details, travel backups, clear communication, closing old tasks. Treat delays as calibration windows and anxiety often softens.
Tidy digital life: inboxes, cloud files, note links, passwords, subscriptions. Outer mess often mirrors information architecture that needs an upgrade.
After direct motion, a shadow period still rewards gentle pacing for big purchases or signatures—keep the patience and review habits you practiced.
