Astrologer Tips for a Mecury Retrograde Theme Party

Did you know that three times a year the planet Mercury goes retrograde? That means that it appears to be moving backwards against our planetary orbit. During this time you can expect to be challenged in the areas like communication, technology and travel, but it's also a perfect opportunity to contact people from the past, tie up loose ends and a wonderful time to reflect on how far you've come.

The best part of mercury retrograde is the focus on the past---so a fun way to celebrate this is to have a Grecian- themed Toga Party! The ancient Greeks knew how to live it up!

My friend, Colette Baron-Reid, gave me these tips and I thought I would pass them on to you! Colette is an internationally renowned intuitive counselor, radio personality, speaker, and seminar leader.

Here are a famous astrologer's tips given to me on hosting a party during retrograde!

Food
Serve a decadent buffet feast of all finger foods; olives, figs, cheeses, luscious fruits and grilled meats.

Dress
Everyone comes dressed in their festive toga attire. The Greeks were all about divination and prophecy so don't forget fortune cookies.

Invite
Invite a friend who you haven't seen in a long time to reconnect and reflect on fond memories, and make new ones!

Play a Game
Play the perfect miscommunication game-broken telephone! See how communication really does break down under this auspicious time of planetary mischief.

Chic Tip
Send out two invites per guest, making sure that the directions, the time and the date are CLEARLY printed, in LARGE print, asking for an RSVP. It's also easy in mercury retrograde for people to forget to even come!
