Apparently, Mercury is in Retrograde. So says lots of folks when explaining why things are messed up or weird or chaotic or in some way “off” from the norm. It sounds like a great reason. I mean, don’t we all want to explain away, using some not-under-our-control reason, why we cannot control every single thing [...]
