Mercury Retrograde Cycle Mercury begins its first retrograde cycle of the year on January 28 in the sign of Aquarius, continuing until it goes direct again on February 19.  Of course, we are already in the "shadow" of this retrograde, which started January 19, when Mercury reached the position where it will be again once it goes direct.  It will last until March 10, when Mercury returns to the same point it began its retrograde journey.  During this shadow period, the retrograde effect strengthens as retrograde approaches and declines as it moves farther away from the end of the retrograde. At Magickalystics, we're already feeling the shadow of Mercury's retrograde which will begin on January 28, and, as retrogrades go, we don't think this is really a bad one.  Mercury's retrograde in Aquarius means this period is a time of connection, reconnection, and ideas.  We took off a week this month to recharge our batteries and reflect on the lessons learned in this past year.  Now back at the store, we are reviewing our plans for the coming year.  That will mean some changes in the coming months, but our overall goal is still the same-- to make Magickalystics a dependable resource of tools to help you on your spritual journey.  Days We Will Be Closed We will be closed Sunday, January 27, 2008, in order to attend a trade show in Orlando, where we hope to find more magickal and unique items to bring back for our customers.  We will reopen at our regular time on Monday, January 28, 2008.
