According to Sandy

Mercury, our communications planet, went Retrograde on April 18 and will go direct again on May 11, 2010. The backward movement will start and end in the sign of Taurus.

Since it occurs in this fixed, Earth sign, all the usual snafus and/or confusion attributed to a Mercury Retrograde period will have Taurean themes: money, possessions, what we value most. Are there investments, savings plans, IRAs, big expenses to take a look at? As always, retrogrades are good times to review, re invent, re think, (re balance that check book). Any communications about money – make sure the dollar amounts add up, contracts are clear, precise.

BTW: The Retrograde “re” suggestions– review, rewrite, etc – are not really for going backwards into the past but for changes, re evaluations for the future.
