Ever since I was made aware of this planetary illusion that causes major universal havoc several times a year, I follow it as much as possible.  There is a copy of the Mercury Retrograde calendar on my kitchen wall underneath my kids’ school calendar however you will rarely, if ever, hear me discussing it outside of my home.  It seems taboo, yet it affects everyone whether they like to admit it or not.  When I get brave & mention it to someone, I’m either ignored, looked at like a crazy person or sometimes they do actually ask me what MR is. Since I’m not very good at explaining things & I prefer not to relay this information incorrectly,  I have listed below just a few articles for reference.
