There are a lot of negative things which happens during the Mercury retrograde, but there a few things that occur which can be considered as positive!

As you probably know, Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication when it goes ‘retrograde,’ or appears to move ‘backwards’ in the sky, strange things start to happen. The Mercury retrogrades are notorious for missed appointments, unexpected change of plans, miscommunication, technology problems, mental confusion and broken promises. But in spite of all this chaos, Mercury retrogrades can bring to light some unknown issues such as finding hard to locate information, people revealing their true inner feelings, the discovery of someone’s private thoughts and being able to see a part of an individual’s personality you normally won’t see.

Personality revelations were prominent in the new this past week as the world saw rapper Kanye West reveal how discourteous he can really be, how much of a temper tennis champion Serena Williams really has, how much of a battle singer Mariah Carey has, struggling with her food addiction, especially with cheese! But one of the most touching revelations was the disclosure of the pain and torment singer Whitney Houston endured during her marriage to singer Bobby Brown. There is a time and place for all things and the present planet transits to Whitney’s chart made it a must for her to tell someone at least a part of what was going on behind closed doors in her curious partnership with Bobby Brown.

In terms of what is to come about from all the uncovered information about each person’s situation, only time will tell. The clear winner emerging from the Mercury retrograde was the interview of Whitney with Oprah. I have a strong feeling that the estranged Mrs. Bobby Brown will be back on Oprah’s couch very soon, and don’t be surprised if it happens during another Mercury retrograde. There are better times for revealing things than others. We just can’t wait to hear more!
