Pop singer Mandy Moore, who we told you recently split with country singer hubby Ryan Adams have been insistent about their wedded bliss be private-and for the entire six years, it was just that. Then just one day, all of a sudden, public reports about the Empty Rooms duo splitting took center stage.
Although a rep asked that, still, the couples privacy be respected Mandy took to her social media account to express herself as well as give a possible explanation [that even I could surely understand].
Mercury is in retrograde and last Friday, Mandy made mention its effects taking its place in her life by posting two roads signs: one reading “Mercury Retrograde,” –the other: Proceed with Caution.”
She captioned the pictures of the road signs “#thatexplainsit #theworst.”
‘It’ being her split with Ryan, perhaps and perhaps Mercury in Retrograde is to blame.
For the record, as per the constellations (in the heavenly skies), in 2015, Mercury will be retrograde during the following dates:
January 21 – February 11
May 19 – June 11<————–THAT retrograde’s going to REALLY be a “kooky” moment in time…because the sun will already BE in Gemini beginning May 21…
September 17 – October 9
Long story short: If you don’t know anything about Mercury in Retrograde, (as per astronomy) it is a time when the planets appear/give off the illusion of traveling backwards (retrograde).
During retrograde moments in time, our plans (especially anything contractual) tend to go awry. Due to the direction of planets (travel backwards) the best thing we can do while in retrograde is reflect on the past, as intuition is believed to be highest-coincidences: extraordinary.
The biggest thing about Mercury in retrograde is that whatever plans we have during that time, review them all-but avoid signing/committing to/making final decisions on anything of 
importance during this time.
As per astrology, Mercury is the planet positioned in Gemini-representing double-talk and two–faces. Mercury is the sign of communication (miscommunication, excessive communication or even lack thereof-typically: miscommunication)-a time when we are transmitting. But because it is believed that Mercurial Gods share a dual nature: both friendly and deceitful. So Mercury in so many words” can’t be “trusted” –so to speak.
No…that’s not to say don’t trust Gemini, but it is safe to say: be aware that double-talk and dual nature. As well, anything done while the sun is in Gemini May 21-June 21, be very aware that it’s best not to be anything involving commitment, contractual or something you value or hold dear as solid-because miscommunication is imminent and possible (during that time).
So as Mercury is in retrograde…just like many said “that explains it,” “theworst”—“wires” can get crossed and miscommunication can cause damage—in relationships, and other commitments.
Check out what I say about Planets here. All planets (celestial)-the heavens (not just Mercury) have a “thing”-an influence over us (terrestrial) beings.
It’s really deep.
It’s the heavens…
P.S.
I knew I loved me some Mandy Moore…she gets it!
