Unfortunately, Mercury retrograde has significant effects on technology, so Liz Simmons highly recommends saving your work early and often. “Mercury retrograde is notorious for causing technical difficulties, which can cause unnecessary stress with work, school, and more when we can’t access or find what we need,” she explains. You’ve probably had a moment or two where you’re just about to finish an assignment for school or work, just to be interrupted by an unexpected device reset.
Yes, some unsaved documents can be recovered, but it could take a great deal of time (and possibly money), and the results aren’t guaranteed. With that being said, now is the time to back up your hard drives, organize your documents, and make sure you have a place for all your significant files just in case. This will save you the humiliation (and possible consequences) of showing up empty-handed the day an assignment is due. Remember, you can never save too much; it can only help you in the end.
