Your Galactic Guide to the Planetary Retrograde - Hitchhiker Style!

Well, for all you earthlings out there who've been feeling a little off-kilter lately, blame it on the stars. Or specifically, Mercury in Virgo. If you've been experiencing frequent brain farts, misplacing your keys more often than usual, or just generally feeling a little foggy-headed, then congratulations! You're not losing your mind, it's just Mercury messing with you.
