After I mentioned Mercury being in retrograde recently, a particularly astrologically informed friend forwarded a bit of potential upcoming celestial prediction. Mercury retrograde periods are notoriously well-known for communication snafus as well as difficulty and/or lapses in decision-making.

If you ever feel like your voice is simply never heard… if you feel like the people running your country are simply out of touch with reality… if you feel like there must be something that you can do to make your federal government hear that our lives and our families are meaningful and real,…
