The planet Mercury Goes Retrograde (Appears to move backwards on it's orbit) about 3 X's per year. During this period, practically any form of communication, both mortal & mechanical alike can somehow break down & cause anything from minor misunderstandings all the way to mass hysteria.

In 2007 Mercury is Retrograde on the following dates:
February 14 - March 8,June 15 - July 10,October 12 - November 2,The closest orbiting body to earth is the Moon and her influence is so important that two branches of astrology, Electional and Horary, use the Moon as primary significator. The Moon moves very quickly and in her travels makes many aspects to the planets in the sky. When she is not in aspect, or ceases to make an aspect she is referred to as Void-of-course. These void time intervals may occur for a few minutes or hours on any given day. When the Moon is void "nothing of consequence will evolve" and its best to delay important activities.This is one of the best times of the year to re-do things. You get a second chance to make things right, restart a project or complete something, you’ve been working on for a while. Think of any word that has an “re” in front of it. That’s what Mercury Retrograde is good for....re-doing just about anything

I first heard of this in Hawaii. I rented a room to this astrologer dude and he said be careful Mercury is in retrograde and everything I had that was mechanical broke thae next day. Everything.
I had 5 cars, tv, washer dryer camera all in good working order and the next day they all broke and had to be repaired in differing degrees until they worked again.
I felt spiritual and astrological things were greatly accelerated by being on an island. Many things happened to me there that had no explanation.

Mercury only goes retrograde in astrology. Since its an inner planet, it cannot happen astronomically. It has absolutely-no affect on communications systems on earth.
