About that Mercury Retrograde?

This article about Mercury made me think about the current state of affair, with Mercury headed into its Retrograde Pattern, and the recent understanding that Mercury is a very dense planet. Maybe 4 times the gravitational pull, or density, of, say, Earth?

Them small ones can pack quite a punch, no?

I read it online, someplace. It has to be true. Would explain a lot about why Mercury’s apparent Retrograde motion sends us in a collective tailspin, no?

Mercury Retrograde

As noted in the horoscopes, Mercury is going to be retrograde from May 18, 2015 until June 11, 2015.
