Mercury experiences a retrograde cycle about once every 4 months, and remains retrograde for about 3 weeks. So if communications have gone array, note the stock market's wild ride last Thursday as an example, you might be in need of a little in home SPA action to make you feel better. The last Mercury Retrograde period happened on April 18 at 12:06am EDT and turned direct today at 6:37pm EDT. AU NATUREL AYURVEDA smells wonderful and helps to calm you down. I highly reccomend all the products from shampoos to soaps to lotions!
