Weekly Horoscope: For Jan. 25, 2015 by Georgia Nicols
This is for the week of Jan. 25th thru Jan. 31th
All Signs Mercury is retrograde until Feb. 11. (For a big purchase, wait until March 4 because that's when Mercury catches up to where it was when it first went retrograde.) Let's have some clarity about Mercury retrograde. If you want to buy clothes, a washer or dryer, furniture or even a house - you can. Admittedly, the house might need repairs (maybe not); and you need to be careful with the paperwork. What you don't want to buy during Mercury retrograde are the items that Mercury governs in astrology i.e. All forms of ground transportation (cars, trucks, motorcycles and bicycles) and all forms of communication (printers, computers, cell phones). Many think you can't buy anything during Mercury retrograde - this is wrong. Of course you can always buy dark chocolate, wine and good towels.
