   Mercury is the way connections do.   
      
   If mercury is retrograde; connections do to things you already did.   
      
   That is a good moment to then find those connections in the stuff you   
   learned/researched/think about.   
      
   The reason why (!!) that is a bad moment to decide something about the   
   future (akin to signing contracts)   
      
   When doing research, that is now/recent/far focus.   
      
   When signing contracts, that is future oriented stuff.   
      
   You can still sign contracts just fine with Mercury Rx.   
   Just take some time to:

   Sometimes doing what you cannot predict turns out fine.   
      
   With contracts though; high stakes.

   Look at the way your mercury is connected to your moon, then venus/mars.   
      
   Moon, as the input feelings, is needed to make mercury connections.   
   Venus looks for form, mars energizez the process.   
      
   Mix that with the way YOU (the Sun) actually move yourself.
