Mercury in Retro occurs in 2009 on the following dates:

Jan 12 - goes direct Feb 1 -- You have time to do your Backups!!! Reminder!

May 8 - goes direct May 30

Sept 8 - goes direct Sept 29

Dec 27 - goes direct Jan 15, 2010

So mark your calendars and schedule your new sites, contract signings, project finalizations, etc during the non-retro phase that will best benefit what you're planning for 2009! Think of the in retro phases as blackout dates for doing or buying anything new, signing of legal documents, contracts etc should be avoided. Use a retro period to clean up old projects, get things organized, lay low kind of mentality.
