"Crashed computers, missed flights, tensions in your workplace—a person who subscribes to astrology would tell you to expect all this chaos and more when Mercury starts retrograding. In 2018, that means March 23-April 15, July 26-August 19, and November 17-December 6. But according to an astronomer, this common celestial phenomenon is no reason to stay cooped up at home for weeks at a time."
