If you've been plagued with all sorts of miscellaneous problems with web stuff, communication breakdowns, mechanical failures and so on, you can rejoice ... Mercury goes Direct today! The "direct station" (when the planet halts before moving forward again) is the most powerful and can be used for maximum benefit. So plan your day wisely!!

Now's the time to start new projects, launch new sites, sign contracts, get that new car or computer, and just generally move forward.

The next (and last) retro phase for 2007 won't occur again until Oct. 12 and mercury direct will happen on Nov 1.
