These days, that goes beyond actual, verbal conversations to include e-mails, instant messages, text messages and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/4-ways-to-protect-your-facebook.html\/\">social network posts<\/a><\/strong> (not to mention hand -written missives, if you\u2019re one of the few still penning them). With all these forms of talking to take charge of, the winged one\u2019s domain is larger than ever, which means that there\u2019s all the more likelihood of havoc when he turns backward. Luckily for all of us, that\u2019s not going to happen again this year until December 10, so there\u2019s plenty of time to prepare. Take these three tips for keeping your relationship smooth when <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/articles\/Features\/3689\/Mercury_Retrograde_by_Sign.aspx\">Mercury goes Retrograde<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Slow Down<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to jump to conclusions when the planet of communication is spinning backward. Rather than assuming you know what your partner meant to say (hell, they might not even know what they mean right now), pause when something questionable has been uttered (or otherwise exchanged) and ask for clarification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Breathe<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably at wit\u2019s end during Mercury Retrograde. As such, it will be especially appealing to fly off the handle (particularly if you\u2019ve done the aforementioned and still found yourself faced with a problematic exchange). Rather than letting the words fly out of your mouth take a deep breath. Count to ten. You\u2019ll probably find that calming down curtails your urge to verbally purge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Expect Anything<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is prime time for unexpected utterances. This can be good as well as bad, but either way, it\u2019s not the time to trust what you hear. If someone who has given you reason to doubt them suddenly starts giving you reason to think they\u2019re on your side in a way they\u2019re usually not, wait out the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/retrograde-planets-and-past-lives.html\/\">retrograde<\/a><\/strong> to see where they stand afterward. Anything is possible at this time \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll stick!<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;border-bottom: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;margin: 10px 0px;padding: 10px
