I know that sound it's gunfire...Vedek Winn appears. Paging Dr. Foreshadowing. Paging Dr. Foreshadowing.
I’m putting this where my fellow Presidents can see/hear it, since I don’t expect y’all to go back to the Post-card hails. “Mercury in retrograde” occurs when Mercury and Earth are on the same side of the Sun. Closer planets orbit faster, so Mercury “passes” us and it’s apparent path across our sky is different than “normal.” This happens 3-4 times per year, for about 3 weeks at a time. So, about 20% of your life. But as your resident astrophysicist, I would ask you: Through what physical process could the motion of Mercury affect your life? Is it the light? The gravitational force? And why are the areas of your life that this hunk of rock is supposed to govern - communication, travel, shipping - all based on the mythological characteristics of its namesakes, Mercury/Hermes? Because it’s a fast planet, and this messenger god had those zippy winged shoes?
